Thanks! Bass was decent but not great. Our most-recent sound tests have some new songs with better bass. I think the first one is the Quattroporte.

@DailyMotor 3 жыл бұрын

So glad you enjoyed! Sure thing, we should have a C-class by the end of the year. The Burmester systems tend to be quite good, but every car is different, so we'll definitely test it.

@afegasdf76y123e Жыл бұрын

the harman kardon in the 3 series g20 are superior to the 2017-2020 c class, the c class has a cheap creaking sound and cracking caused by the lack of high quality pannels in the interior, just like every other benz, same goes with the 2021 gle and e class

@stubones 3 жыл бұрын

Doesn't it have subs under the seats? My 10 year old E91 has a sub under each front seat and although they aren't great subs they do provide enough bass to seriously vibrate the car.

@audiophilemetallian 3 жыл бұрын

From ur rating it means this sound system is a little inferior than hk in m2c? Comparing to that vid clearly this has much less midbass/bass. No punch at all on rock track. Maybe this has a better mid/highs (the b&w signature), but quite disappointing at this car price. I owned bmw m340i and was a bit frustrated bc sound was low and not punchy or crisp as my old 328if30 used to be.

I've personally heard this system in two BMWs and it sounds great and worth the cost. Second, it's not true that every stereo system is designed to be played flat, thats a ridiculous opinion. Stereo appreciation is entirely subjective based on a number of factors including each person's ability to hear different sound frequencies. Finally, you need some better source material to use to evaluate sound systems; there are a number of audiophile test files out there that many of the manufacturers use.

How can you have good bass when you have it set to medium in your settings? Treble should be max and bass 3/4 and on stage. Then this system sounds great. At the beginning you need to be able to set up the system and not judge without having the slightest idea about it 🤦🏻

@DailyMotor 3 жыл бұрын

Audio engineers design their system to be balanced and what they consider to be "right" at the middle of the sound settings. To demonstrate to our viewers, we use these settings. However, we also set the audio system to our preferred settings when we're driving around off camera.

@pacific322 3 жыл бұрын

With the treble set at max, that would be a personal preference.

There are 16 drivers in the cabin. Your content could have been far more informative if you had done some research before creating your video. A huge amount of engineering went into the creation of that system which should have conveyed. Otherwise I think you did a great job with operational detail.

@Scorpio1075 3 жыл бұрын

Had to give your video a thumbs down for a few reasons. First, take the time to review the manufactures information before shooting a video about sound systems, saying you don't know where the speakers are at instantly makes you sound less than credible. Second, in less the Bowers & Wilkins system comes with unique menus in the iDrive then the iDrive system isn't a reason to like or dislike the B & W system. Third, the cost of the car is irrelevant, you're supposed to be giving your opinion on if the B & W system is worth $3400 over the stock Harman / Kardon system.
