ASUS ROG Gjallar soundbar makes headset-free voice chat a headline feature

ASUS's first gaming soundbar, the ROG Gjallar ($599.99, US), ships with a separate audio control hub containing built-in microphones and real-time noise suppression. ASUS states the hub filters teammate voices and in-game audio while suppressing background noise, enabling headset-free communication — a use case most soundbars treat as an afterthought. Real-world performance in noisy rooms remains untested.
