I understand and I may be wrong but Harmon Kardon also makes the stock audio system for the GTI. It was used mainly during the Covid era. I like it in my 24 S model. 😎
It’s not better. I’ve driven golf gtis with both the upgraded and base system and the upgraded system is definitely better. It’s just not great for me price
Wow that’s good to see from you on this testing. ❤ i’ve felt base 7 speaker is not bad. Can you allow me to get this clip with Korean subtitles on my channel for golf lover here? 😊 That’s very useful to choose golf 8 eventually. Thanks!
Hi, I am also thinking of buying a golf 8. I found this review today and went to the dealer and tested the base 6+1 system compared to tiguan, passat H&k (golf h&k was not availabe at the dealer). Telling the truth h&k was disapponing especially for the price. Lack of real bass. Mids and highs are fine. Golf 6+1 is quite enjoyable...more bass less clarity but quite OK system. I will not pay for h&k. It is strange that vw h&k systems are much worse than they are in other brands (e.g.: volvo) and more expensive.
@@ethvnxavierthe s and the se should have the same base sound system if it’s an earlier model it could have the HK but as he says in the video the HK isn’t really worth the extra price

So it’s better than the upgraded system 😂
Rip Harman
It’s the same case in cupra there’s no difference at all between the beats sound system and the base sound system
Can someone confirm this😂

When listening to HD Radio, do you get Album Art? Or only station name?
Have you ever tested a base / unbranded sound system better than this one?
maybe tesla's. they are A-Tier
Rolls Royce (not Bespoke Áudio), Bespoke Audio is a $12,000 option lol
@@degou3438 i was thinking of that too. But then a car that price should have S tier everything as standard in the first place 🤣
@@glorifiedbusdriver7036 yes! 😂
I am confused as well. The Harman/Kardon system in the golf only gets a C, but the base system gets a B ? Is the Harman really worse ?
I'd have to listen to them back to back, but there's also a degree of value baked into the rating. A B system at $31k might be a C at $40k.

@@DailyMotorSoundhey im lookin between the GTI S and SE models, can u confirm which sound system is better cuz honestly thats the deal breaker now😂
@@ethvnxavierthe s and the se should have the same base sound system if it’s an earlier model it could have the HK but as he says in the video the HK isn’t really worth the extra price
@@ethvnxavierI’ve tried both the SE definitely has a better sound system. But it’s not worth the upgrade alone.
Hey great video! Compare this and Mazda 3 cabin with their speaker. Which would you rate better?
Mazda3 Bose is much better.
Hi! Do you have experience about the passat b8 basic system. Which would be better golf 8 or passat b8? Thanks
Will you review a 2024 subaru crosstrek w/harmon kardon? Im also interested in how lacking its base system is
They don’t come with wireless Apple CarPlay???
The S base trim does not. You need a wired connection or get a wireless adapter.
