Amazing job man. I really appreciate your effort. Your content helped me a lot, while buying a car last year. And I ended up with 22 IS 350 with Mark Lev sound system. I am not sound beast person but great sound system make a huge difference on a long trip experience for sure. Alot of other car reviewer don't go in deep with the Audio and other components that you do. Really loving your content. Keep up the good work.
I REALLY appreciate you doing this video. I'm currently looking into a new CR-V and the Bose is a make a break deal for me, coming from a 13' CX-5 with Bose that I really enjoy. I'd still like to hear the system in person, but this video is really impressive. Seems like the CR-V Bose is a solid contender.
Just came across your channel today. Thank you so much for doing this! This kind of information is so hard to find elsewhere and I really appreciate you doing it! Seems like the Bose is a worthy upgrade in the CR-V!
The Honda CRV was always one of my favorite Small SUVs, but only one thing kept leading me away from it - the bad audio system! Now that it has a BOSE sound system, and 12 speakers at that, (with ones in the d pillars), I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Most small SUVs don't have d pillar speakers or rear door tweeters!
I 100% agree, that was holding back the CR-V compared to the Rav4 JBL or the CX-5 Bose being significantly better, now with the Bose system being offered in the CR-V it’s nice to finally get a good stereo in the CR-V. The CR-V is the best imo especially if you want the most cargo & interior space compared to the other 2. I’ve also heard that the CR-V is much better inside compared to the Rav4 with it being more insulated too.
@@MrNathan07tell me if you find out if any USB CD player can be used. Or even what file formats are recognized by the USB drive. This is not an issue with the regular audio system.
It happens to a lot more high end audio system too even the Bluetooth was only AAC codec and not even LDAC/Aptx HD and high end DAC, that's why they need a lot of DSP to processing@@johanneskreisler7647
I think, after watching dozens of reviews and reviewers reviewing the 23 CRV, you did the best, hands down. Agreable speech, and you also covered items that none of the other reviewers did. Thank you! Now inquiring minds wonder: what happens when one has a flat tire and there is no spare tire? Gas tank capacity and cruising range? 0-60 and 60-0, Finally life expectancy and cost of the lithium battery. Thank you again.
A lot of information, but the main question is what files are recognized on the USB drive? It seems that no USB CD player works on it. Also no way to play CD files through USB, even FAT32.
I tested CRV, Kia Sportage, Skoda Kodiaq, VW Tiguan and Rav4. CRV sound system was best compared to highest trim offered in europe and best audio. What shock me the most was Kia. Their subwoofer was weakest somehow. I wasnt sure if its turned on or not. When i changed bass level it didnt make almost any difference like it didnt exist. Even thou i double checked it was there. I tested using Roon Arc streaming my flacs directly from my server. Skoda had mby a bit better higher pitch sound but not much. But overall feeling and bass was best in CRV no doubt. I even doubted Tiguan premium sound as it didnt feel that premium at all compared to CRV. Tiguan sounded cleaner a bit due to better interior insulation but thats about it. Honda has done well with Bose system.
Thanks for doing that audio demo. Great job! I've ordered the 2023 Pilot Elite and I'm assuming that it will be a very similar sound system as it is also a 12 speaker Bose premium audio system. Do you know how many watts are driving that system? Do you know if you can plug in an an iPod for audio and still use the wireless CarPlay for navigation? I've been using an old iPhone with a music app that has an equalizer to tweak my 2016 Pilot Elite audio system. It REALLY helps the sound quality.
You're welcome, and thanks! Bose doesn't publish wattage for any of their systems, so your guess is as good as mine. You can likely plug in the iPod and have it work as a USB storage device while you're using CarPlay. Hopefully it works!
Amazing review. Listened to the review on a pair of Sennheiser's Momentum's 3. Sounds amazing. First audio review, but plan to listen to others here soon. Got a sub and a big like from me.
the bose sound is nice for sure but I refuse to pay for a top level trim honda even though I love them. 🤣 at that point for the price i'd just put in a little more and get an acura. the sound on the base model hybrid sport sounds fine enough to me.
Ooo glad to find audio reviews! Trying to decide between a touring or ex-l Pilot. Are you doing a review on those? The sound system has a huge impact on my decision. I wonder how much better the Bose is to the ex-l system? If the 2023 exl sounds like the 2022 pilot touring system, it’s a no go 😆
We'll be testing them in the next few months! But yeah, if you care about audio at all, I would highly recommend stepping up to the Bose. It's been a big improvement over standard Honda audio in their other new models.
Any improvement on the CRV sport hybrid radio is a hugely welcome. The radio on that model is quite frankly terrible. The hybrid CRV is a nice foundation for a car radio since the new CRV is the quietest ever.
How does the Bose sound system compare to the Acura 7 speaker premium audio system? I have a 2016 Acura RDX that is getting up there on miles and I want to get a reasonably priced hybrid next and I'm choosing between a 2023 Honda Cr-v Sport Touring and the 2023 Toyota rav4 hybrid xse.
What you need to do is to put the bass volume all the way down in the EQ, then you need to put a external subwoofer and then you ll feel the diference…
Searched everywhere for the information, whats is the impedance if the bose speakers in this system (front and rear doors) , is it 4 or 2 ohm? And how about wattage going in to each speaker, would appreciate the info
Hi. Anyone know what audio file formats this system can play. I have some 24-bit FLAC and DSD files and I wonder if they can be read via USB. Also, does it support hi-res Bluetooth codecs (aptX, LDAC, etc.)? Thank you.
@@chinyanyie Thank you. Can such changes be done, considering the audio system is integrated into the infotainment and other car features. Not to mention, the form factor seeming very unique to this vehicle.
I own th 2023 CR-V EXL with the 8 speaker system. Do you happen to know if Honda sells the Bose System so that I can upgrade my model to the 12 speaker Bose system???
@@lionintu not sure you just need to keep playing them back those days we have special CD with special tone to help them break in play something with heavy bass and that will speed things up
@@LousyHealer13 The music effectively masks the road noise to my ears on good headphones. Most people doing a serious stereo listening test would probably sit still. I do get why he does it this way to show how you'd feel driving it.
That car is maybe worth 31k out the door. Worst value proposition ever in main stream automotive industry. You can get so much more, for so much less with every, single, manufacturer out there...
That is true unless you consider lifespan, reliability and repair costs. The only crossover currently more reliable is the Subaru crosstrek. Even the rav 4 has higher annual repair costs.
@@ChinBiter47 I doubt it. Honda reliability went down like crazy. Talking about this car, many people are reporting a dead computer after a few miles after purchase. And good luck getting Honda parts, they can't produce them.
Wow... 68 mph with music on - no wind/road noise at all. Very impressive!
Yeah the car is remarkably quiet inside.
they're still loud compared to other vehicles unfortunately but they do okay.
FINALLY Thank you Honda for putting a branded audio , instead putting some paper crap speakers !!!!! Nice bass ...LOVE BOSE !!!!

Nice improvement!! It’s like Acuras of the past that had Bose before ELS… B tier is much better than a poor F tier. 👌🏼
Can't wait for your next tier list. Would be interesting to see how this stacks up to Bose Mazda cx 50, Harman/Kardon Kia Sportage, and JBL Rav 4

They have Bose, but no high resolution audio source is recognized, except go Sirius. It seems that that this is the problem with Bose.

Are the speakers better than the previous crv from 2018 in the executive version?

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. And I'll try to address those points once we review the car at home base in a few months.
Omg this is the channel where all your car sound system reviews went!
Yup!
My 2023 Hybrid should be here middle of march so I'm looking forward to posting about it.

Whats the best way to get music on to a USB stick , like we have in this video. Also which socket are we using here ? Thanks

Which? Acura rdx? That vehicles needs an overdue refresh
@@lionintu yes the rdx, I agree it needs a refresh tho
Have you tested the 2024 crv sport L? Heard it's an upgrade over regular sport.
Very nice sound review of the 2023 crv sport touring
Amazing Video Thanks For The Review But Is It Worth Buying Over The Hybrid Sport?
You're welcome, thanks, and yes, for me.
Please can you do a review on the bose system in the audi A7 or A8?
Awesome presentation of
the bose system, would you be able to list the names of the music you played in the demo, thank you
Thanks! Everything is listed down in the description.
Ooo glad to find audio reviews! Trying to decide between a touring or ex-l Pilot. Are you doing a review on those? The sound system has a huge impact on my decision. I wonder how much better the Bose is to the ex-l system? If the 2023 exl sounds like the 2022 pilot touring system, it’s a no go 😆

@@DailyMotorSound Thanks, good to know.
Head-unit support hi res?
I’m surprised you don’t have a review of the Civic Bose! Please review that if you can!

Back from before DM Sound became its own channel.
Hi Daily Motor, do you have any plans for the Acura integra Els audio system
Yes, hopefully by the end of the year.
Any improvement on the CRV sport hybrid radio is a hugely welcome. The radio on that model is quite frankly terrible. The hybrid CRV is a nice foundation for a car radio since the new CRV is the quietest ever.

I have the same car, did you figure out what you wanted?
@samuelajala2675 did any of you make a switch ?
This Bose or Nissan rogues Bose.? .Seems Crv has center point Bose which is same as the one in qx60.Rogues one seem entry level Bose system
Which bluetooth codecs does it support ?
What you need to do is to put the bass volume all the way down in the EQ, then you need to put a external subwoofer and then you ll feel the diference…
In the same enclosure? Doubt it'll fit
whats the mic that you are using, its so clear
www.roland.com/ca/products/cs-10em/
Does this comes advanced 12 channels DSP
Searched everywhere for the information, whats is the impedance if the bose speakers in this system (front and rear doors) , is it 4 or 2 ohm? And how about wattage going in to each speaker, would appreciate the info
I think their newer sound system all using 4ohm
accord 2023 bose pls
I really wish my 22 Accord touring came with the Bose…to put it in a 22 Civic touring and not an Accord is beyond me.
It’s in the Accord now, but only in the touring trim
This or Rav4 JBL better?
This one
You
Is better than Mazda CX-5 sound system?
Are there specific settings that you would recommend for the best listening experience?
Start with flat EQ and make little tweaks from there. Sound engineers design systems to sound "best" at flat EQ.
@@DailyMotorSound Ah okay great, thank you!
Hi. Anyone know what audio file formats this system can play. I have some 24-bit FLAC and DSD files and I wonder if they can be read via USB. Also, does it support hi-res Bluetooth codecs (aptX, LDAC, etc.)? Thank you.
Every car audio manufacturer doesn't support that except you change the head unit to other brands like kenwood, Alpine,Pioneer.
@@chinyanyie Thank you. Can such changes be done, considering the audio system is integrated into the infotainment and other car features. Not to mention, the form factor seeming very unique to this vehicle.
Are the files playing from your phone or a USB drive? Mayne if plugged in, the music will be losess rather than BT?
I own th 2023 CR-V EXL with the 8 speaker system. Do you happen to know if Honda sells the Bose System so that I can upgrade my model to the 12 speaker Bose system???
I don't believe they'll do that.
😂😂
What file formats the USB drive supports?
Also, did you determine what file formats are recognized from a USB drive? No dealership seems to know.
Did anybody succeed in connecting an external USB CD player to this Bose on Honda CRV 2023 Sport Touring?
Please, let me know when you find out.
Not sure how the cx-30 bose got an A and this a B. I have the CX and my wife the crv. To me the crv is far more balanced using CarPlay lossless.
Does it come with a subwoofer?
Yes
i think those speakers needed to break in
i just know it will be a big different when you run them long enough to have them all break in
How long that takes?
@@lionintu not sure
you just need to keep playing them
back those days we have special CD with special tone to help them break in
play something with heavy bass and that will speed things up
No acoustic windows anywhere this car was very loud inside I went with Nissan rogue
Good reviews, but it's a waste of gas to drive around playing stereos, since the mics don't seem to pick up much road noise.
Or maybe the cabin is absorbing the road noise and wind noise, as he’s trying to show.
I appreciated the driving part, as it shows how quiet road noise is, which affects music quality.
@@LousyHealer13 The music effectively masks the road noise to my ears on good headphones. Most people doing a serious stereo listening test would probably sit still. I do get why he does it this way to show how you'd feel driving it.
could u recreate this video except for the song selected could you do me n my kup
My sport touring is being delivered in December looking forward to cranking some Linkin Park.. sounds good
Mine too. Hopefully sooner
