It also says something about where ROG is heading next. ASUS has already filled out the usual gaming lineup with laptops, monitors, headsets, and peripherals; now it\u2019s pushing into bigger, room-filling sound and setups that work better when more than one person is listening.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASUS says the Gjallarhorn packs a <strong>2.1.2-channel system<\/strong> with Dolby Atmos, along with a 6.5-inch, 65W wireless subwoofer. That sub uses a low-latency 5GHz connection, so the bass stays in sync without adding another cable across the room.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soundbar also includes built-in microphones with Acoustic Echo Cancellation, according to ASUS, so you can jump into voice chat without wearing a headset. The idea is to cut down on game-audio bleed and background noise, so your teammates don\u2019t hear everything feeding back through the mic.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re after high-end gaming audio and want a lot of connection options, this is the kind of release that\u2019s easy to pay attention to. That said, early reactions seem more sold on the <strong>feature set<\/strong> and broad compatibility than on whether the sound itself clearly tops rivals such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/razer-has-just-revolutionized-the-gaming-world-with-a-cushion-at-ces-2024\" rel=\"noopener\">Razer Leviathan V2 Pro<\/a> or Creative\u2019s Sound Blaster Katana V2.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASUS says the ROG Gjallarhorn is on sale now in the US for around <strong>$600<\/strong>. Connectivity covers HDMI 2.1 eARC, USB-C, optical audio, and Bluetooth 5.3, with support for PCs, Macs, PlayStation, Xbox, and more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Discord\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/9848e854-ffae-11e6-a59d-00163ed833e7\/3298232087\/discord-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Discord<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASUS has started selling the ROG Gjallarhorn in the US for about $600.
