I just picked mine up a couple of weeks ago and for being the standard sound system, it is quite excellent. For awareness, I reached out to MB customer support on the sample and bit rates for the MBUX built-in apps. They did provide a response and told me the following via email, which should answer the question in the video: As a result, we have reached out to our technical team on your behalf and were provided the following information about the bit rate for MBUX music apps.

Very impressive. Hopefully that means the E-Class will also be an S tier. Audi and Lexus seem to have fallen behind in terms of sound systems. @Charlie, what's your thoughts on many saying that the new gen Lexus products feeling almost identical to the Toyota counterparts or worse (apparently new Land Cruiser 250 can be more luxurious than the GX).
The TX is definitely guilty of that. However I quite like the new GX, and it's much nicer than the Land Cruiser we get here in the States. However I do recognize some unfortunate cost cutting from Lexus. Lexus should be sticking to their formula of unparalleled quality at the expense of some features and tech, not the other way around.
Anyone who puts the bass drivers up front as far forward as possible in the stiffest part of the car gets my vote. Physics always come into play and door mounted midbass drivers are terrible if not in an enclosure, even then putting them far forward like merc is a game changer. Only other manufacturer who’s done similar is the new Mazda 3 bose setup and that’s awesome for a factory fit system
all good in theory, bass sounds crap in my e class. Trunk subwoofer ftw. volvo does an awsome job while having it in the door, and so did meridian a while back
during some heavy bass, i hear some crackling from your binaural mics. Is the bass THAT strong or are your mics going out? can be heard around 19:41 and most of Redlips Bass test. Other than that, superb review as always!
Oh that's strange, I didn't notice that during editing, but that seems like my audio is peaking. So the bass is VERY strong, and I didn't catch it going too high in the editor

You may be thinking about the "mid-tier" Burmester with 13 speakers? Mercedes sometimes have multiple tiers of their "premium speakers" and the old review was not reviewing the highest tier.
Excellent sound video. I love music and it’s important for me the quality of music when I drive. A question, how would you rate blocking the outside noise in highway while driving this car? (1-10) 1- lowest rate as bad.
Wow the CLE has a better Burmester than in the GLE. The GLE only has the 13 speaker system available. The High-End Burmester option somehow got deleted during Covid on the GLE.
Hi DM sound!! Is there any kind of way you can rent a 2014 Chrysler town and country, man your gonna be real surprised about the treble and bass, it is WAY deeper then the 2021 Toyota 4runner, its a great van, its a 6 speaker system BTW, hope you can make a video about it! God bless
I've never driven a 4runner, but the company I used to work for I had a company vehicle that I spent all day in, and I worked there for over 4 years full time. Usually I had a 2011-2018 grand caravan which I can't imagine the sound system being any different for the T&C and I was never impressed..
are all MB burmester systems the same? I'm looking at some slightly used (2020+) MB and they all seem to say burmester on the speaker grill of the door. Will they all sound good?
@@ModernDayMixtapes thanks. How do I know which is which without seeing the window sticker? These are more expensive MB (like $60k+ used) I am looking at, does that matter at all?
@@wantsanewvehicle 2020+ AMG for under 60k? You are probably looking for CLA, A class or GLA then, or perhaps a w205 C43? If you care about the sound system, I would go for the latter, as the speaker locations are much better than the FWD-based A-class-tier models, with midbass drivers in the front footwells, resulting in tighter and better controlled bass. In case of these lower end cars, there is just one tier of Burmester offered (with S class and GLS there are 2). The midbass drivers are very good and go quite low, but I am not sure if C class gets a subwoofer at all. I would probably look for a base system car and do a plug and play upgrade, which in these cars is dead easy because of the good speaker locations, and then have it tuned by someone who knows what they are doing. If you are willing to spend a bit more, have a subwoofer installed, it shouldn't take much space as there is plenty of room in the wheel wells of the trunk, or the spare wheel well for a true IB application. This way, you will have much better results than most if not all OEM systems.

The only Audi system that probably has a chance at S Tier today is the 19 speaker 3D Advanced system in the RS7.

Great review!!
where did you find this test. the one on their website has the surrounds but also top front and top rear but no LFE
Damn, I can feel the fullfillness in the sound, and surprisingly it was very quiet inside the car.... Love your videos man keep doing more
burmester being standard is an market specific decision, in Germany you have to pay extra. Which I did of course.

+1 sub. The best channel I long found

Thanks for your Sound Checks. This is such a great idea and is very interesting!

try out the low end burmester. I feel like you will be disappointed
Hey can you test the new C class? The last one was A tier
19:25 wow when the bass hits its sooo powerful it distorts the mic 😮
please review Mercedes Benz E class with 4D sound burmester
Getting into it next month!
Surprisingly, c coupe has a superior sound system than its sedan sibling

@@lixiaochen6 no he means the current w206 with 710w
How would you compare it to the 4 series harman kardon, its closest rival?
Excellent sound video. I love music and it’s important for me the quality of music when I drive.
A question, how would you rate blocking the outside noise in highway while driving this car? (1-10) 1- lowest rate as bad.
Thanks! I would say 8

Yep it has been thrown out for the facelift
Thanks for the video. I was wondering what sort of file format did you use for that 5.1 test?
flac
Put reggaeton pleaee

I'll try! I had the 6 speaker in my 2006 T&C and it wasn't terrible, all things considering.
@@DailyMotorSound thanks man! Hope u can do it, god bless man, take care
Also I THINK it has the 5.1 surround sound in the t&c to, also the bass is great in the back and front the tweeters are great too

Not all MB Burmeister systems are the same. There are base and upgraded versions

@@wantsanewvehicle what models are you looking at?
@@adampavella1225 nothing specific really, but it would have to be something fun so something amg for sure
