Do they use this in the 2021 MacBooks too? The thing sounds almost like it should not be physically possible to pack this much bass into such a thin device.

p.s. I'm so tired of random websites blocking Russian IPs because reasons

Yeah, it seems the 2021 MBPs use a similar system:

"A high-fidelity six-speaker sound system features two tweeters for a clearer soundstage and four force-cancelling woofers, resulting in 80 percent more bass"

I'm not sure what this "80% more bass" claim is in comparison to. But the 2019 models are definitely impressive. I'm looking forward to hearing the 2021 at some point.

I've blocked Russian IPs from my website because the vast majority of spambots had a Russian IP.

Anyway yeah, I was already impressed with these little portable speakers.
