ASUS ROG Gjallar soundbar puts headset-free voice chat front and center

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