X-Mini Max II speakers look very familiar

Singapore-based XMi is due to release the X-Mini Max II, their newest portable speaker, locally. It's totally new, but we have a feeling that we've seen something like it before.
You might have heard of burger speakers before, and X-Mini Max II is basically one them. It sports the same expanding column that helps improve bass while maintaining clarity for high notes by using a sensitive speaker.
Price is still TBA but we're guessing this should fall somewhere between P1,800 to P2,500. Stay tuned.
Official Press Release
XMI PTE LTD RELEASES X-MINITM MAX II PORTABLE SPEAKERS
SINGAPORE, September 2009 - Xmi Pte Ltd, the creators of the Capsule Speaker genre, announces the arrival of their latest innovation, the X-MiniTM MAX II speakers. This eagerly-awaited new generation of the popular X-MiniTM MAX series features key aesthetic improvements while retaining its essential hallmark of "Minimum size. MAXimum sound".
Developed in Singapore, the X-MiniTM MAX II is expertly designed to be ultraportable and precisely engineered to deliver a superior sound. With a simple twist and lift, the avant garde capsule-shaped design unveils a pair of stereo speakers. These stylish speakers, which can also be used individually, pop open to reveal the patented accordion-like Bass Xpansion SystemTM (BXSTM) which successfully mimics the resonance of a sub woofer .
Defying the conventional notion that size does matter, the X-miniTM MAX II, is a moveable feast of sounds. Its new 40 mm driver, expanded BXSTM, extended playback time and modular "Buddy-Jack" design, enables it to effectively generate high-quality and extensive aural ranges, be it the rich timbres of a soprano or the pulsating electronic beats of the latest dance track.
New to the design aesthetics of the X-miniTM MAX II is the open and angled drivers for a directional audio enhancement as well as a richer bass output. Promoting communal usage with friends who have any second generation XminiTM speakers is the "Buddy-Jack" function that enables you to connect one XminiTM to another, capable of forming an almost endless "daisy chain" of selfpowered, bass-enhanced portable speaker system.
The logical choice for the itinerant music aficionado, the powerful yet compact X-MiniTM MAX II produces high-fidelity sound at any pitch or volume and is perfect in all environments, be it the boardroom or kitchen.
About the Award Winning X-miniTM Capsule Speaker
Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Design Awards (Germany) and the Infocomm Singapore Awards, which is the top innovation award in Singapore. The X-miniTM capsule speaker is revolutionary in the world of portable audio technology, striking the perfect balance of pocketsize portability and uncompromising sound quality. The X-miniTM has a patented extendable vacuum that mimics the resonance of a sub-woofer (Bass Xpansion SystemTM or BXSTM) capable of producing explosive volume and bass over ten times its physical size.
