I reaaallly wish Honda would've done a 3-way component set in the front like Mazda does. I'm a sucker for a good sound stage, great job pointing it out!
I thought the same thing. Although I think Honda has improved a lot in sound quality with the Bosse speakers, I think Mazda does better in this regard.
Did you find out which file formats the USB drive can recognize? I couldn’t find any USB CD player that would work with Touring. However, the USB drive also cannot understand CD files. The manual is uncertain. Dealerships, and even the centralized support, have no idea which files should be used. With Bose, I do not want to use MP3.
@@johanneskreisler7647 I haven’t used anything like that in many years, and I play music full-time for a living and have a full-blown studio in my home. I use Spotify premium on Apple CarPlay, streaming from my phone, and the three month free trial for XM radio.
Hey! That’s a great review. Loved the way you checked all kinds of music styles. I’d like to know what are your top choices for S tier quality to upgrade the audio system or speakers in the car both in mid size suv like crv and mid size sedan like accord. Thanks.
Is a review for the new Honda Pilot Elite Bose system coming soon? I presume it will rate similar to the other Bose systems in other Honda models. Shame that they don’t offer it in the TrailSport, but they do give you an audio system a level above the base models, so it could have been worse I guess.
I should try to get one. We already had the trailsport, so it's harder to justify getting the Elite as well, but I'll try to get one before the end of the year.
I have the 2023 pilot touring. I believe this is the exact same system in my pilot. And the Elite has the same as the touring. It sounds tremendous!! I did a thorough audio testing of each Pilot model. I wanted the Pilot EXl, but could not justify the horrible audio. I listen to all types of music. My kids love rap and yes, the base sounds pretty good. But I love 70/80s rock…Def Leppard sounds rich & beautiful. He’s right, amazing spatial sound! And the sound level at just 15 renders euphoria with certain songs.😅 Yes, I’m passionate about this audio system, haha
Susie, how did you personally find the mid range TrailSport’s audio system? I love all types of music, therefore preferring the Elite//Touring trims, but I thought that the ruggedized model may be the better option for taking our three dogs along, since Honda is clearly not revising the Odyssey this year, liked I had hoped that they would have.
@@stephenkahn5475 If i remember right, the trailsport only had one trim level. And the audio was just like the lower trims of the pilot…not good. The only trims that have the Bose 12 speaker is the touring and elite models. So yeah, if you want an awesome sounding system, unfortunately you’ll have to sacrifice price💰 and convenience 😫 BTW my 2008 odyssey had an excellent audio system which is the reason I hated to part with. Honda just doesn’t make em like they used too.
I agree that three is nothing special about Bose. Still, does anybody know which file formats the USB drive can read. This is not specified nowhere. Dealerships are in the blue.
I like Hondas engine but their crv feels very basic bland I don’t know how else to put it. Chevy had the Bose on their equinox for the longest time. it takes years for Honda to play catch up
No highs, no lows must be Bose. I AM an audiophile. This system actually hurts my ears. Of DM’s videos the best was the Alpine system hands-down. Next comes the base systems . At the very bottom are the Bose systems. I’ve had several Bose products, and it be honest, I have never liked anything they made. But I have exceptional hearing.

12 speakers in the 2024 Honda CRV Sport Touring. I own one. The stereo is amazing. Probably the best system I’ve heard.

@@johanneskreisler7647 sorry, I don’t know about that. I use SiriusXM that’s included with the vehicle, and Spotify premium from my phone.
I test drove. It's very good, better than the upgraded systems in comparable cars.
@@jonj77 yes, it’s pretty damn amazing sounding, and even louder and bigger sounding if you use Spotify through the system instead of just XM radio.

What !!1 Excellent sound man. Thanks for vidoe. Kiis u bro.
Night test... i like it
What is that heads up display for the speed you are using called?
How would you compare this system with the lexus rx 350 15 speaker mark Levinson?

Between this system and the 10 speaker alpine in the Jeeps, which in your opinion has the most balanced sound quality?
The Sport trim has a 6 speaker system. The new 2024 Sport-L trim has an 8 speaker system. Any chance you could test this middle CR-V model?
i want to find out too!
12 speakers in the Honda CRV Sport Touring. I own one. The stereo is amazing. Probably the best system I’ve heard.
Does the Bluetooth support connections via aptX or LDAC codec? Thanks!
How was your gas mileage during your test drive. Looks like 36 mpg?
Is subwoofer level also controlled, or just bass eq?
…only bass EQ.

CRV BOSE no.1 HAH
Check out the HK system in the new dodge hornet

And an exceptionally inflated ego.
