Does the Gjallar support true Dolby Atmos?

Yes. It uses a 2.1.2 layout with up-firing drivers plus a subwoofer, so Atmos height effects come from the bar bouncing sound off the ceiling. The effect is strongest in a room with a flat, low ceiling.

Can it pass through 4K 120Hz from a console?

Yes. The HDMI 2.1 port with eARC supports 4K at 120Hz pass-through, so a PS5 or Xbox Series X can send video to the TV and lossless audio to the bar over one cable.

Do I need a separate microphone for voice chat?

No. The bar has built-in microphones with acoustic echo cancellation that filter out game audio and teammate voices. That covers voice chat and calls without a headset.

What can I connect at once?

USB-C, HDMI eARC, optical, AUX and Bluetooth 5.3 are all available, plus two USB-A ports on the side for peripherals. You can switch inputs from the bar or the control app.

How does it compare with a headset for gaming?

A headset gives more precise positional cues and isolates you from the room. The Gjallar gives shared spatial sound and a subwoofer's low end, which suits a desk or couch setup where others are listening too.

Is the subwoofer wired?

It is wireless, connecting to the bar over a 5GHz link for low latency, but it still needs its own power connection. Its slim shape lets it slide under or beside a desk.

Our take on the ASUS ROG Gjallar Gaming Soundbar Dolby Atmos

The ASUS ROG Gjallar is a slim gaming soundbar built around a 2.1.2 Dolby Atmos layout: left and right full-range drivers, tweeters, up-firing height channels and a wireless 65-watt subwoofer. It adds a built-in acoustic echo-cancelling microphone array, an HDMI 2.1 eARC port with 4K 120Hz pass-through, a two-port USB hub and Bluetooth 5.3. That makes it a single box for a desk or TV setup that would otherwise need a soundbar, a subwoofer and a separate mic. Rivals in the gaming soundbar space tend to offer fewer inputs or no height channels, while the Gjallar trades some of the tuning depth of a full AV receiver setup for compact plug-and-play. It suits PC and console players who want spatial audio and a clean mic without a headset.

About the ASUS ROG Gjallar Gaming Soundbar Dolby Atmos

The ASUS ROG Gjallar is a slim gaming soundbar with Dolby Atmos support. It uses a 2.1.2 layout: left and right full-range speakers, tweeters, up-firing channels and a wireless subwoofer. Together they create a 3D soundstage.

Its slim design allows flexible placement. Built-in AEC microphones use Acoustic Echo Cancellation to filter out game audio and teammate voices, so voice pickup stays clear and free of echo.

A control hub on the soundbar adjusts EQ settings, playback, input sources and RGB lighting. Gear Link provides EQ fine-tuning, lighting options, microphone adjustments and more. The HDMI 2.1 (eARC) port passes through video up to 4K at 120Hz. Two USB Type-A ports on the side of the soundbar connect other devices.
