Pump up the volume on your MacBook with a USB powered subwoofer

I carry my MacBook Pro everywhere, especially when I’m on the road. Most of the time I’m listening to music through headphones. However, once and awhile I like to listen through the Macbook’s built-in speakers. The speakers aren’t exactly the definition of ‘high quality.’ They are somewhat tinty sounding and lack a low end bass.

Enter “BassJump” from Twelve South. It’s a one-of-a-kind USB powered subwoofer designed exclusively for the Macbook. The sound and power are delivered via a single USB cable which helps to keep the cable count under control.  It also utilizes software to customize the sound between the built-in speakers and subwoofer. It’s reasonably priced at just $79.99.
