Im interested to know why this system received an S tier over the pre-LCI model which received an A. Does this system improve from the old model? Thanks for the great content!

The base makes all the difference, ergo the car to start with: Obviously the similar system in Volvos is worse since the Volvo is simply inferior in terms of sound deadening, materials, size, (and everything non-sound related as well obviously) so this'll play really well. Even a worse system would sound great in a X5/X7 because of the perfect platform. For being a OEM system it's the best out there buuuuut it still needs a bit of help in the low-lows. (if we're picky) And more sound treatment would up it even more even if we're talking minute differences here. But the Bowers & Wilkins is the only OEM system (both BMW's and Volvo's) that actually matches aftermarket sound quality vs dollars. Usually sound quality like these high end systems can be obtained for half the cash through aftermarket but yeah, not in this case really. Glad a rare few manufacturers realize how important music is in a car.
Thanks so much for the great info on speaker systems! I am interested in your opinion about the acoustic system in the Mercedes GLE Burmester compared to the acoustic system in the BMW X7 Bowers & Wilkins, which audio system is better in your opinion?
Thanks for the reply I use to always think that cars like audi's and bmw would have a nice premium sound system especially if it's bose with their panaray or bang & olufsen which is even more premium than bose
@@DailyMotorSound I see, I currently have a 2017 Lexus RX450h with Mark Levinson and was wondering how it would fare compared to this system, can't wait to see about the new RX ! :)
What's the best mid size car system you have heard? Savage geese has most vehicles measured by a audio engineer with graphs and measurements. He said that the Genesis g90 Lexicon and jaguar XJ meridian were the best car s he's listened to and tested.
@@barbecuetechtips6024 The volvo Bowers & Wilkins systems are really some of the best out there. My moms XC90 has the B&W option and its truly incredible.
There's a degree of factoring in price and usability into the ratings, but to the average listener, blind tested, I believe they'd find the Mazda 3 Bose to be similarly good as the EQS Burmester.
I’m guilty of considering an expensive car for the audio system quality 😢
If you got the money, treat yourself

I’ve heard that yes, they did tweak the sound system a bit for the LCi

@@v12-s65 thanks for the clarification, can’t go wrong with Burmester 👍
That’s a quality sound system, although I think the mixing could be see some improvement but overall very good.
Yeah this system sounds "centered" rather than "surround". I like the Burmester systems better
Amazing sound system! How does it compare to Mercedes’ Burmester 3D High End Surround Sound System?

Great review. Can you please share the song title for the song at 9:45 which you have as rock. Battling to find it.
A couple weeks late but it’s on sound cloud called Homeworld Collapse by Arthur Vyncke
@@kyleh9793 thanks 🙏
@@kyleh9793 real MVP!
Glad you did this review. I was wondering if the B&W system was worth the extra money when I make my next purchase.
It is 💯
Can you share the EQ tweaks you recommend?
Yea, like to see his tweaks
please?
My fav sound system is still the lx 570 the bass in that can’t be matched
Yeah that's a good one.
Great system, shame they made it worse in the new gen lx600 though
@@garrylong2993 yea I know nothing will match the bass of the 570 the deep bass was insane in that car

Do any cars use 96 or 192 kHz FLAC format? Or even full spec HD?
this is what i wanna know. pls tell me if u already got this info
Just use 44.1 kHz there’s no difference 🙏
Newbie question. What do these tiers mean? What is an S tier?
The very best
what do u think about x7's harman kardon?
they are somewhere between "ok" and "pretty good".
How does the bass compare to the HK
Not sure, haven't tested the HK yet

You're welcome! Hard to say, pretty similar. Maybe sliiiight edge to the Mercedes.
@@DailyMotorSound Thanks for the answer!👍
Hi dm sound out of all the sound test whats you best sound system and which car
Rolls Royce Phantom Bespoke. But aside from that, Volvo S60 Bowers & Wilkins, Escalade AKG, and S-class Burmester are all very high up there.
Thanks for the reply I use to always think that cars like audi's and bmw would have a nice premium sound system especially if it's bose with their panaray or bang & olufsen which is even more premium than bose
So is it the best sound system this year (Bowers & Wilkins)?
No, the i7 is more impressive
Is this as good in the 8 series? I am looking to buy one and wondering it it is worth the upgrade
Yessss it is and it looks great and finishes the look of the perfect 8 series interior
How does this system compare to the Mark Levinson of the Lexus RX ?
Hard to say, because the RX we drove had a pre-production tune of the sound system. We'll follow up and test one when we get a production model.
@@DailyMotorSound I see, I currently have a 2017 Lexus RX450h with Mark Levinson and was wondering how it would fare compared to this system, can't wait to see about the new RX ! :)

Yes

So the rating is with all other cars ? Like you gave the mazda 3 A tier and a mercedies eqs the same as well . So are they close ?
There's a degree of factoring in price and usability into the ratings, but to the average listener, blind tested, I believe they'd find the Mazda 3 Bose to be similarly good as the EQS Burmester.
Why is this x7 b&w S tier and the last generation was A? It is 99% the same car, am I wrong?
BMW watched Daily Motor and made improvements
Does this car have an actual subwoofer or is it still only the ones under the seats
Under seat. Just like the X5
👌👌👌👍🤎
I guess BMW sound systems will be graded from B to A tier on average.
How are you assessing a sound system and yours is crap, low volume some parts almost inaudible Dude!!
