Roku Streaming Stick+: $43
The Roku Streaming Stick+ has a long-range wireless receiver, and allows for Bluetooth streaming. It includes all the features of the Roku Express 4K+ in a smaller, easier-to-conceal device. Instead of connecting to a television via wires, it connects directly to an HDMI port. Please note that the Roku Streaming Stick+ still needs to be connected to a power source -- either via a TV USB input or a wall outlet.
"It doesn't have the same bells and whistles that my Roku Ultras have...but then again, I also paid nearly twice as much for those," the Amazon reviewer K. Krueger wrote on the site. "This Stick+ is much cheaper and provides basically the same user interface and playback performance."
