I notice high-end soundbars now offer internet. Can someone offer an

Give an example (make and model). Being wireless or having wifi access
does not make the device an IoT. Could be it is an IoT device and maybe
works with Google Home to allow handsfree control of that and other
devices in your home ("Ok Google, play some music on the living room
speaker") .

The product description of they as-yet-to-be-identified probably tells
you why the device is wireless, wifi, or has some Internet connectivity.
They cannot incur draw to a device features by keeping them hidden.
