Roku is awesome every year the little company manages to make better streaming gadgets than Apple Amazon and Google serving up the best experience around whether you're watching Netflix Amazon Hulu HBO Go or anything else so if you've decided to buy a Roku the next step is figuring out which one currently there are four devices at four different prices here's how they compare the cheapest at less than 50 bucks is the new Roku streaming stick it's the size of a USB stick and hides behind your TV completely out of sight it's remote communicates via Wi-Fi so you don't need to aim it and the Roku app lets you connect a pair of headphones to your phone for private listening which automatically mutes the TV audio it offers Roku's full interface and apps and is just as fast as any of the more expensive Roku's then there's the Roku 2 last year it was my favorite streamer but not the new stick is available it seems like a forgotten stepchild the main reason to pay the extra money for this box over the stick is if you really want it's wired Ethernet connection the more expensive Roku 3 as a swanky remote control with a headphone jack right on the side for private listening without having to use the Roku's app and you can also perform voice search with the remote another feature that cheaper rogue who's relegate to the app finally for all you 4k TV owners there's the high end Roku 4 it offers 4k streams from apps like Netflix Amazon Vudu and YouTube and makes for case show's easier to find than any other device including your Smart TV unlike your Smart TV however it doesn't have access for the best quality videos encoded in high dynamic range known as HDR so which Roku do we like best the cheapest at less than 50 bucks the Roku streaming stick is all the streamer most people need you
