I used to have one and I swear to you the first time I heard the sound system I teared up. Had a first gen ipod, all the pioneer high end stereos and hifi players and shit that Volvo was awesome.

I love this car. Volvo is very underrated

Such a well put together video. Great work.

Amazed by the audio system on Volvo

Worth the price which we all paying so much... lots and lots of love from VOLVO... First of all thank you so much sir great review 💟☮️

Excellent review

I have this sound system in my 2020 s90 volvo r design and it sounds great.

OMG, i’m looking for one and i’m watching all B&W Volvo reviews on KZread. Literally in every video the music sounds like it’s a added soundtrack in the video editor. The sound it’s so good, seems ireal to be a live recording. 😅

My xc90 has the b&w system and I love it

on my JBL LSR 305 speakers at home, this sounds better than the other video of the Mercedes with the Burmeister system.

I still like to blast my old school 80's and 90's CD's in my 2017 XC90's Bowers & Wilkins system. It's the last year Volvo offered a CD player in their lineup. The CD's do sound great in my car despite the nicks and scratches on the discs.

U have done it! I thank u

The mid-level Harman Kardon system is pretty good for the money. About 7.5/10ths as good as the Bowers and Wilkins. Great surround sound, flat frequency response with good clean deep bass reproduction below 50Hz. Lacking in Volume and overall mid/highs clarity + bass extension compared to the Bowers and Wilkins sound system.

Gorgeous

Best audio system ever. Now its difficult to sold my v90 due to amazing sound.

Very well done

Love how you panned when that Volvo passed you

I bet Depeche Mode will sound great in this... NICE

The Only One channel that also reviews and tests audio systems of cars!

Ahhh. Bowers&Wilkins has the best quality highs in my opinion. Fantastic. You can listening to it loud and for a long time too, and it will not be tiring. I looove this sound system. It's s better choice especially for the money than the Audi RS6 B&O. Idk which one is better, M5 B&W or S90 B&W. What do you think Charlie? And... There is the new Peugeot 308, 3008 with focal and the new Tucson. 🙃☺️

Hi, from what I've been seeing, these 3 brands of car sounds are exceptional, but there's always a better one, which one do you think is better, you've tried them all. Bowers & Wilkins Bang & Olufsen Meridian Surround.

Damn. This has gotta be the BEST stock stereo you can get in a vehicle.

Love it. Listening to it through my desktop speakers doesn't do it any kind of justice, however. I really wish they had a CD option, though. I have so many high-end CDs (Telarc, for example) that I would absolutely love to use. May have to consider how to install an aftermarket one... Thoughts, Charlie?

Just rip the CD's to a .FLAC file and load them onto your phone/car, any CD reader should do.

First I was like it’s fine I guess but then I noticed it.

Could you describe the sound of the S90 (no B&W, no Harman) the standard one? Does it have a dedicated bass? Does it sound good? Any upgrade you consider to it ?

Really was amazing listening to this with you, feel like the Maserati Quattroporte sounded similar but less good. Have you ever tried Tidal with Bowers & Wilkins?

Didn't get a chance to try Tidal in this one because I didn't want to pay for Tidal HiFi, but I changed my mind and signed up again, so I'll use Tidal for the upcoming Burmester test in the E450 for channel members.

Thanks Charlie. The best ever sound system I have ever heard is Dynaudio in Volvo s80 2007 model. The most natural warm realistic dimensional system ever. The new system tend to be overprocessed and too mimic. In this new digital approach you hear more detailed sound but unfortunately not authentic and beautiful. Do you agree with me? Kind regards

One of the gripes I have with my S90are all the rattles. I can guarantee that noise you’re hearing is coming from the rear drivers side door. I have the same issue.

To whoever’s listened to this system in person, is the bass as good as it sounds in this video?

@hplovecraftmacncheese

Жыл бұрын

Bass doesn't sound good if the mid and high sound like crap. It's about the whole range of sound.

Man, that rattling noise from the bass is unacceptable. Otherwise, sounds great. I have horrible experiences with dealers diagnosing rattles, so that puts me off a little. Did you notice that while driving the car, or was it the microphone?
