Since this is cartalk, I'm using you're talking about premium car audio systems. At their very best:

Mark Levinson is number one.
Then Bang and Olufsen.
Then Harman Kardon.
Then Bose.

ELS is probably better than Bose.

Depends. If I need to throw a house party..... JBL. If I need a very small blue tooth portable/ speakers for the car/home theater system...... Bose. If I love listening to light/classical music on a home system...B&O/HK. If I love Reggae/Afrobeats...JBL....so for me... it depends.

KINGreignn:
On most cars having BOSE as their audio system, I find the bass in BOSE over boosted and it distorts the natural sound because it is distorted. You can't get the pure sound and this is annoying. It's mostly for loud metallic rocks and hard core Hip hops.

But on Harman Kardon you get adequate levels of bass and also it gives a more natural surround sound especially with their pro logic 7. The system filters it's sound to suit a variety of music genres and speech.

Ejebleje:
They're all premium sound engineering brands, no one is necessarily better or worse than another.

What you should note is that they sometimes churn out products for niche markets,eg for music producers, percussionists and so on.

If you buy the wrong product, it may be deemed bad or inferior,so these days before you buy anything, even flip flops, do your due diligence and be sure it suits your needs.

But ,for emphasis, no one of these premium brands is ostensibly better or worse than the other. Stiff competition has them paying great attention to detail and the consumers are those who are better for it.

Cars like Benz , BMW, Range and Porsche come with premium speakers ! They are niche market cars

I enjoy reading your posts

why? because you're a very sincere coward

lol, you are part of the benz or nothing ignoramus society but youre so scared of being attacked that you never post in direct support of benzedes or your fellow benz airheads

anyway, most of you are cowardly and emptyheaded loudspeakers

but you in particular are just hilariously weak and unfortunate

CC: bizzle2, you're an audiophile, come speak about this.

BOSE beta sound system is standard in Mercedes cars from 00 models

Personally Bose reputation precedes them...just like Bang and Olufsen or maybe Nippon

Lol, harmon kardon tuning is definitely not in class with Bose. Premium brands in the world use Harmon Kardon for a reason.
the stock setup in my car was a 10 speaker Bose system. The sound was manageable at best. I got rid of everything including the headset and kept only the tweeters..
My current setup is a Kenwood DDX9904s, two infinity kappas 62.11i ( Harman Kardon) in front and two JBL GTO629s in the rear, with a rockford fostgate sub.
Current sound is.... hehehe.
The only Portable Bluetooth speaker I own and have ever owned is the JBL Charge 4. So I guess that shows where my loyalty lies

KINGreignn:
Nice setup you got, for you to lay hands on infinity mid-range and Rockford fostgate sub shows you're a real hard core audiophile.

AmuDimpka:
In cars ...I would go for Bose ! Benz is what is it

In homes I would go for bang and okufsen

bizzle2:
Copy That

Thanks we dey try .
buying was the easy part, doing the install was the real headache.
took almost 3 days ( couple of hrs a day) to complete. Including sound deadening.But it was worth it

Bypassing the factory Amp for this car meant running fresh speaker wires from each speaker to the head unit,
powering the sub meant running a lead from the engine bay to the sub enclosure in the trunk, and so many other quirks.
I'll gather the energy to create the process thread one day.

bizzle2:
This is one person's opinion.
It also states "factory sound system".
Most factory sound systems are budget . Just something to complete the car. If you want better, you have to look outside.
I have NEVER driven with factory setup for up to two months
