2023 Audi A6/S6 - Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium 16-speaker Sound System Review

[@v12-s65]

man of his words. Really took the effort to reupload it even if it was only a small thing

[@souravmmishra]

Big ups for re uploading the video even if it was just for a minor misunderstanding.

[@GTI_CHHA]

This gives credibility to the channel, chapeau!

[@exparrot9074]

Great accountability with the re-upload and disclaimer! Audis own site makes it very confusing to understand the differences in audio systems between trims

[@snakeeyes9246]

3:08 you have tested the 3D Advanced system in the SQ7. The system in that SUV has 23 speakers.

Golden era of cars

I mix audio on L'acoustics and dnb PAs. I can't afford a brand new car but I'm amazed at Audi's audio systems - I drive a 10 year old 2013 A6 (Bose system) and it's at least a B+ . When I test drove the B&O premium models, I'm a bit blown away for the value of audio in a used car. If you buy new, you pay for this upgrade, but used, it's a negligible upgrade. My next buy will likely be a 2019-2020 q5 with the premium B&O system. I also love the pep in the 3.0T motor on that car

[@Skeppyberry]

yes, the top end system gives you an 9in sub I believe, this share the 6.5in with the lower end cars and the Audi 10 speaker. the 19 speaker on the 5 and below also shares this same sub size. you have to step up to the 6 series and above to get the bigger sub

[@jamesmarcellus2046]

Is it really loud inside when sound is on max volume? Loud music is reasonably important for me in a car.. And also, where do u put ur phone there? Between two cup holders? Is it convenient? Ty!

[@tingliu2397]

9:12 Hello Charlie, could you send a copy of the IAA surround test you owned? IAA updated its test, which is less accurate, especially the LFE channel. Thank you!

Have you ever noticed an issue with Audi's that have the mid-level 3D B & O stereo? I have a 21 A7 that makes a popping/crackling noise. It does this all the time and has been confirmed by Audi technicians. It's not overly loud and can best be heard at volumes a little less than normal. I was given a 24 A6 loaner while they did some troubleshooting on my car and the loaner did the same thing. The tech replaced the amp in my car which didn't help. They also verified another 24 A6 they had in their showroom had the same problem but that a RS-6 with the high-end B&O system they had did not. They concluded that this is normal behavior for this system, which is absurd. There are a lot of Audi forums with other owners complaining of this very same problem for years now with no resolution from Audi.

Can you do the A6 19 speakers test

[@joshuakarp2586]

looking at 2025 Q7. Not sure if you've reviewed. Curious if the $4900 sound system upgrade that you can get (beyond the Prestige) is worth it.

[@bakki2k]

Can you do a new re designed a5 ?

[@andreyradovski8514]

Please do a review of Q8 e tron B&O system - that one has the sub, similar speaker placement, but I’m concerned about some people calling it a bit harsh.

[@WXHPOYA]

Does the system on the A7/S7 sound pretty similar to this? I have an S7 and I found the bass to be a bit loose and lacking extension on the lower end. Tried to play with the "bass" as well as "sub-woofer" settings but all they do is making the bass bloated and muddy.

[@shubdh-hz5ul]

if you have the b&o it sounds exact same as A6. Same speakers same placements of speakers. These systems are not meant to be a lots of bass, its more about clarity. Never fully turn up bass and subwoofer settings all the way up its going to easily blow your woofer speakers.

[@DrKrakus]

Thank you so much for video , I waiting for my A6 with B&O Advanced Sound System , it has 19 speakers and 1820 W power , have you listining to this sound system ?

[@DailyMotorSound]

I have not, but I just tested the A4 19 speaker system, review going live tomorrow

[@EduardFinca]

Very nice review! One of the best sound reviewers on youtube ;) Is this better than a Harman Kardon on a BMW G30 ? I'm looking into buy one of these cars and sound's a pretty big thing for me ;))

[@humblesophos]

Any chance you could test the new GV80 with the B&O. I’m wondering if there is a B&O system that will ever earn them an “s” tier rating. It seems they are destined for B-A tier only.

[@DailyMotorSound]

Got this, but I think I replied on your other comment as well. Aiming for early fall

[@BIGFKING]

Nice!! sound very lively. I can hear wide dynamics range. How about B&O in A5(or 4)? A5(or4) B&O vs A5(or4) audi standard speaker??

[@ismaelestribi1505]

Everyone: what a good sound system Me: why is the engine light on? 😆

[@chrisyicheng]

oh it just meant the engine wasn't on. look at the tachometer it shows 0

[@gullible119]

He had the ignition on without the engine running? It’s a thing with so many cars

[@tucko11]

Hey this sounds great 😂lol like a 300,000 sound system

[@EuropeAfricaTrip]

I thought there was a subwoofer in the trunk

[@champagne213]

Yeah, this is confusing to me. Pretty sure there's a small sub in a metal basket in the trunk.

[@KlekoMleko]

I dont know how this system can get an A rating. i tested it in the A8 and for me it was far worse than a tesla model y for example.

[@PaulDouglas-g3q]

Learn to speak a little slower.

[@victorm_m80]

When you tried the akg sound system of the cadillac lyriq?, it would be great if you tried it
