2021 Mercedes-Benz E-class - Burmester 13-speaker Sound System Review

[@KeepTheGod]

You know it sounds good in person when it sounds good through a phone speaker lol

[@DJHamzaOfficial]

The fact that you use Tidal automatically makes you a legend haha

[@edwinb2323]

The steering-wheel and MBUX takes time to get used to and find your own preferred customization; but once you get used to and customized it the right way, all your doubts and complaints become ZERO.

[@swedishsaabguy1808]

Nice review. I’m about to buy one. Seems like a must-have

[@watchdogs295]

Wish I could find a used one with the 3d system

[@Infernal_Elf]

@@watchdogs295 Yeah many stupid non music people went cheap and dident get the Burmester XD i drove a taxi e class wagon now and then as a driver that had the Proper Burmester system mainlky drove one without. and now 5 years later i miss listening to the music in that car so fucking crisp and fine tuned balanced sound.

[@v12-s65]

@@Infernal_Elfit's frustrating. I wished there were more coupes with the 3d system. In the last 15 months I only saw 3 cars for sale with it.

[@CrArC]

4:47 - you see the little icons on the top of the centre console trackpad? If you swipe left or right across those, that should change the audio track. That's the most convenient method I've found so far (though I agree, sucks there's not some nice buttons on the wheel for this. I would happily sacrifice the useless phone buttons for this since you can accept/hang up calls easily enough without them and it's something you'll do far less often than changing audio track.

[@TheGregpot2000]

You can also set the middle cockpit screen to media. Then a swipe up and down on steering wheel skips tracks

[@simonli3023]

The E-Class also has a 3D sound system

excellent review. what is the classical part name please ?

[@hv8074]

On the 2020 E-Class you could change tracks by swiping up or down on the touchpad, maybe you can do the same on the 2021 model. I can't believe they got rid of the clock on the console, shame shame on Mercedes.

[@Classicman.43]

The clock has been an option

[@lennykibet6689]

They can't install it due to the MBUX system not giving them the space allowance needed. That said, I wish they put the passenger airbag light there to fill that space cause the space bugs me so much it's almost a deal breaker.

[@cadams5598]

@@Classicman.43 it was standard in the US, i have a 2018 that i built and that wasn’t an option to click. It’s removed because of the MBUX module behind it.

New Class c 750w burmester?

[@KAYBE_CO]

Is it possible to add a different bass track. As the ‘redlips’ test doesn’t really show the depth of the bass how deep it can go etc. Not everyone wants a mirror shaking sub. So it’d be nice to have another bass track. For instance some deep bass trap or something in the line of Bassnectar or Big Wild etc just non copyright of course. Thanks I enjoy your videos bud keep it going!

[@faridgasimov1742]

I have a similar system on my 2018 E400 Wagon and i do not like it. Thinking about changing it to Blam Signature (not sure yet though). I don't listen to music on high volume but i like it to be clear and detailed. This midrange Burmeister lacks clarity and it feels that i need to crank it up to hear better which i don't like to do. The bass is literally under the pedals and in the same spot on the front passenger side which doesn't seem optimal imo. Long story short an aftermarket will always sound better and more tailored to your needs. Do not chase premium factory sound.

[@ewardbach8955]

My S90 with Bowers & Wilkins sounds super, and it comes from Factory.

Hope you get this Message, I'm currently in a bit of trouble. I'm having to choose a company car, privately I'm driving A Lexus GS450h S19 with a Mark Levinson system. I wanna get close to that, also with interior noise on highway speeds. would you recommend rather a Volvo V60 Harman Kardon (Bowers & Wilkins is NOT orderable in Germany anymore. This would have been my very first choice) or a Mercedes E class Burmester. Or are there any other good high quality Audio systems in the European market (my choices are limited to that). I also have a BMW 330e 2020 model with the Harman Kardon system. It's absolutely underwhelming in my opinion (speaking only for the BMW).

[@DailyMotor]

Both are going to be very close. I would give a slight preference to the Volvo because I love the V60 and V90. Do they have the V90 there? BMW is not fantastic for audio. Audi top-end systems are pretty good. The new Acura TLX is also very good if you have that as an option.

[@Kumbl]

@@DailyMotor Thanks for the quick reply! So Volvo it is, then. Thanks again

[@fuadhasan2259]

very similar to Bose on my mazda cx5

[@maxl7827]

compeletely different

[@HeadTurnNet]

It satisfies most people's crave for "good sound" out of the box. But with $7k in hand, you can build a far more superior system than this. Even a system with some sub $1000 5-channel amp, along with the help of DSP, and some good Focal or Hertz component speakers and a good 12" sub will beat this system easily. Just my opinion.

[@nomansland120]

$7K?? This Burmester upgrade is like $1300

[@garrylong2993]

I think you’re mistaking this for the high end. This isn’t the 3d high end one. It’s just the normal one. This only has about half the power of the 7k high end one

[@barbecuetechtips6024]

Wonder how much better the burmeister 4d upgrade system is? Seems pretty disappointing since the Lexus ES mark Levinson and Acura TLX ELS 3d are on par or better than this system for thousands less.

[@v12-s65]

For thousands less? This system here is a 1 grand option and for that honestly it is good value. The 3d* system is definitely better not not as much as the price would suggest

[@nxau120]

This system would probably be even more amazing in the CLA or A Class.

I'd hope so since its so expensive.

[@M4X1]

If this is the same system offered in the C300 and the bass (from what I can hear using these AirPods Pro with spatial audio turned on) is that much punchier: WTF Mercedes?! I have a 2020 C300 with the 13 speaker Burmester system.
