Designed exclusively for MacBook, BassJump is a sweet, one-of-a-kind, go anywhere, USB-powered subwoofer that turns your MacBook into a mini sound system. One single USB cable delivers power and sound. Custom software blends the music coming out of your built-in speakers with the sound output of the BassJump for dramatically enhanced audio performance.

Features
- USB powered subwoofer designed exclusively for MacBook and MacBook Pro
- Dramatically improves the sound performance of your MacBook speakers
- One USB connection provides both power and digital audio to BassJump

MacBook never sounded better.
BassJump makes those great sounding, built-in MacBook speakers sound even better by adding mid- and low-frequencies through one well-designed, travel-sized subwoofer. It’s a smart, simple way to dramatically improve the sound of your MacBook without cluttering up your workspace with a clunky set of replacement speakers and cables. Once the BassJump software is installed, simply connect one single USB cable, launch iTunes and enjoy the new and improved sound of your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.

Software you can see and hear.
BassJump software combines audio coming from your MacBook speakers with the low frequency bass coming from the BassJump subwoofer. By blending to two audio sources, you hear a dramatically richer, fuller sound. iTunes will sound better, and so will your favorite games. And wait till you see the BassJump preferences window. Two big, glowing, old-school style analog VU meters add a bonus visual experience to your sweeter sound. There’s even a cool little VU meter in the preferences bar. The BassJump preferences window also lets you to customize the sound to suit your style of music: rock, pop, R&B, etc.

Easy listening, literally.
One software download. One USB cable. One volume control. You get the idea. BassJump makes it easy to better your MacBook listening experience. Once the software is installed, it’s pretty much plug and play. Just in case you forget what your MacBook sounds like without BassJump, you’ll find a big on/off switch. Use it to hear how much better your MacBook sounds with this bass boosting bundle of joy.

Road ready sound system.
Just like your MacBook, BassJump is completely portable. Take it to work. Pack it when you travel. Carry to a friend’s place. Because it’s USB powered, there’s no need to carry extra cables, adapters or power cords. Just slip BassJump into the included neoprene travel case and you are ready to go, near or far.

I've had mine for about 9 months now and I find I use it quite a bit. Its powered by the single USB cable and it doesn't kill your battery. Small
enough to pack, light enough to carry. Works in harmony with my MacBook Pro speakers. It's well finished with a robust aluminum case that means
there's no dents or any sign of wear.

I really like this product. It makes a largely noticeable difference to the sound quality of the sound from the laptop. It is worth bearing in mind
the intention with this product is not to boost the volume, but improve the quality of the audio. If you're after a volume boost for the same money,
then I recommend another product like the JBL Spyros or the USB LaCie Speakers- the former seeming a touch impractical for travelling with though. All
in all, i think that for low-level listening, the BassJump is a good, succinct and simple product- well built and though pricey, definitely on the
side of 'worth the money' rather than 'overpriced'.
