    Thanks for the review. I have the 13 speaker 590W system. I think it is not amazing but very good indeed. Got a more well rounded and clean sound overall with no distortion. Best thing about it is the speaker grille design which no other car system can match! Worth the Burmester upgrade alone.

    Have the same system and love it, I'm an sound engineer for a metal band and while it may not be the loudest system on the market it is one of the best as far as clarity and true sound reproduction , without manufactured tone that are introduced to cover poorer quality audio systems

  • @the2of3

    I’ve only had my 2020 CLA for a couple of weeks now but I’m very happy that I managed to get one with the Burmester sound system. As you pointed out, I’m sure you can get better but I still find that the sound reproduction is clear, crisp and full of rang. The main thing that many of the negative responses I’ve read seem to harp on is the lack of bass. Though I feel the bass is great, one thing I’d like to point out is that BASS IS NOT EVERYTHING! If I really wanted something to rattle my teeth I’d find a drunk dentist and ask for a root canal. I prefer to hear everything the song has to offer. What I really appreciate about this system is its clarity and sonic balance.
    Thanks to ABAUTO for a great review.

    Hey AB, finally picked up my CLA 45 yesterday afternoon after nine months of waiting. I didn’t order the Burmeister audio as I’d read so many bad reviews of it. But the base audio is as good as or better than any other factory audio I’ve owned so I can’t imagine how much better the Burmeister is.

    If you have Bluetooth issues, all you can do is use an external Bluetooth receiver. I use them all the time in my cars to receive high end audio. For my exemple i use the fioo btr5 with high amplification and pair it with the best quality sound of spotify there is also other brands like the dragonfly and much more .. what they do is bypass the poor Bluetooth amplification in the car by using the aux input and feeding the best sound possible

    Thanks for the long awaited video Adam. My biggest gripe lies not with the Burmester Sound System itself, but rather the creaks/rattle sounds that the speakers produce. Unfortunately after exhaustive testing I have seen that the doors in the CLA W118 are poorly sound-proofed from the factory. Have you noticed the door rattle sounds? If you want a test track, try Mannequins and Egos by ZHU :)
    EDIT: I saw that you covered this in the Vibration Test part of your video. It's a damn shame really. I wished that Mercedes had properly sound-proofed the doors. However it seems you are talking about foreign objects (key etc.) placed in the doors. I was referring to the doors themselves.

    An infamous saying in Germany and other parts of the world is: Most cost effective way to get a Burmeister system is to buy an AMG (although I think some Mercedes’ cars with AMG packages have them now). And given that Burmeister is a coveted by audiophiles but is cost prohibitive. I believe it’s the best audio system nowadays and I tried the Harman Kardons and Bose in multiple cars (For those who say Harmans are better I suggest they try and listen to it in an electric car like a polestar without background noise or with car in accessory mode you get to experience the bass shortcomings). Just my 2c YMMV. Still enjoying my C43.

    I made a test drive in a EQB with the standard sound system, and then in a BMW iX1 with the optional Harman Kardon sound system. Even the standard Mercedes system sounds better than the optional one in the BMW.
    Today, a year after this review, the EQB comes with the upgraded Burmester system with 710 watts and Dolby Atmos. I’d like to know what system is better in a car of comparable pricing.
    So I ordered an EQB, in spite of all the negative talk online about the low rate of charging (not true, the given rate is kept up for almost the complete charging time), the sound in the cabin (it is really quiet, believe me) and the bad comfort (I drove it on 20” wheels and didn’t feel a thing). Ordered it with 20” too. It won’t be the fastest EV at the light, but luckily I'm not 16 anymore, nothing to prove here!

    I’ve configured my W212 E250 Avantgarde AMG pack in 2016 with Harman kardon Hifi system. I paid too much extra money for this sound system but it was terrible. Subwoofer was mounted at the top of the rear trunk next to the electric sun-shade. When I was trying to listen the music around 80% volume, it was starting to vibrate and noises were increasing.
    When I complained about it to the MB Dealer, they started to laugh and asked me “Didn’t you know it before you order your car? You shouldn’t have configured your car with high end sound system and electric sun-shade. It definitely vibrates.” Tbh, I’m really surprised and pissed.
    That’s why I have always concerns about sound systems in the car to pay extra money. Please test it before you buy a used car or order your brand new car.
    Based on my experience, Bose, Bang & Olufsen and Bowers & Wilkins are powerful and very crispy hifi sound systems in car-audio systems. I was very satisfied with Burmester in W222 S-Class but noise isolation is very good in that car. It may differs in other models.

    Personally i think the sound system is pretty pants for price of the car, which was quite a disappointment as i have heard good things of Burmester systems in the past. Makes me think the A Class got stitched up with a cheap Burmester system to keep costs down. Either that or people who have rated it highly have never heard a good sound system before. Put it this way, the standard Rockford Fosgate system in our 14 year old Mitsubishi Evolution X sounds miles better to me and the rest of the family who have experienced both.
    Think Mercedes needed to fit a slightly bigger sub in it as it is really lacking in bass / depth to the sound.

      That’s interesting to hear. People have said it’s quiet and as you could see here mine is quite loud. I’ve done nothing to mine but it’s not a 2023 model. I hear if you access the hidden dealer menu through MBUX you can go into the settings and increase the max volume of the speakers. You have to be carful though of course since it’s a back end tech menu. Google it and you should be able to find instructions if you are willing to give it a go.

    My issue with newer MB sounds systems or Burmester is the placement of the speakers and lack of midrange woofers. Also, there are virtually no low frequencies in the bass registers at all. Just a speaker in the foot well or underneath the center console producing mid level bass. Then it struggles and creaks the interior at higher volume because the speakers aren’t sizable to reproduce sound to compensate for road noise when driving at higher speeds. The sound (especially bass) just feels like it’s coming from the front only and the back sounds like an empty vacuum in space. How do you neglect putting a sub in the trunk or 6-8 inch woofers in the door panels? Poor calibration and worse choice of cheap hardware. Benz is a joke atp

      The “surround” mode creates a surround feel which is pretty good but I’m not sure If it’s a full 3D setup.

    I can see why the upgrade is only $800.. got to this video because I have Burmester in my CLA 35 and I feel like its weak compared to other cars with great factory upgraded sound systems... well it is what it is

    I’m sorry but the system here is not great at all. Try listening to EDM/hip hop. There’s no sub bass at all, only mid bass from the door speakers which makes this type of music sound weak. Compare this to the Bang & Olufsen in the Audi S3/RS3 then you’ll hear how music is supposed to sound (for a stock system). The sub in the Merc is almost non-functioning for music, just vibrates but no real low frequency sound.

      No low frequencies at all. Just a speaker in the foot well or underneath the center console producing mid level bass. Then it struggles and creaks the interior at higher volume because the speakers aren’t sizable to reproduce sound to compensate for road noise when driving at higher speeds. The sound (especially bass) just feels like it’s coming from the front only and the back sounds like an empty vacuum in space. How do you neglect putting a sub in the trunk or 6-8 woofers in the door panels? Poor calibration and worse choice of cheap hardware. Benz is a joke atp

    This system SUCKS!!! I have a 2020 CLA250 with the same system and it's the worst "upgraded" system I've ever owned. Even my 2007 Camry with the JBL system was way more premium, loud, and bass for days. This system has to be turned up 3/4 to barely even be heard. I hate it 😒

      That’s really interesting to hear Daygo, It could be our expectations of a good system differs or perhaps there’s something wrong with yours? Are you streaming music via Bluetooth? I once noticed terrible volume and not great bass from mine, plugged my phone in and it was honestly 50% louder. Not sure why but on occasions Bluetooth fails with MBUX. Mine is seriously loud at 100% did you see my test when I went outside the car with the windows up? If your needing 3/4 volume to be barely heard there’s definitely something wrong. It may be worth having it checked over.

      @@ABAUTOAMG That's what I thought too. Had the dealership check out the whole system. The techs said all speakers & components were working but that's just how the CLA system was. I do always use Bluetooth, not even sure if there's an AUX port.

    Well it's a merc. They're hardly gonna use good sound system if they can't build a car properly. Terrible cars
