2023 BMW iX - Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System Review | 4D Audio and 30 Speakers!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

BMW makes some of the best audio systems on the market, and they made sure to put all their weight behind this 4D Bowers and Wilkins Diamond sound system in the new all-electric iX crossover. It sounds great, but there is palpable gimmick afoot.

    I had same experience also, I have Harman in my X5 and my brother have Bowers in his X7, I prefer sound of my X5 as it works best in every music I throw on it, it always delivers sound experience I want hence after first tuning I never touched it again, while in X7 bowers I tend to keep changing it to get them to sound to my likings depending on music.... The Bowers definitely sounds the more expensive one but not the most statisfying to me at least.

    So good to hear about the Harman Kardon being as good or better. I ordered an ix 50 in March with the B and W, but it couldn't be produced until after June when they switched to the 2023 production year where they dropped the B and W as an available option. I ordered the Harman Kardon as I'm very happy with (love) my Harman Kardon in my 2012 BMW Activehybrid 7. In a test drive with the ix with Harman Kardon I felt it was exactly like my current system, so I think you will be happy with the Harman Kardon if you buy an ix 50 now.

    I'm so sorry to hear that you couldn't get an iX with the B&W system. I just test drove an iX 50 with the H&K system, and it's not even in the same ball park as the B&W system with double the quantity of speakers.

    Hmmmmm... concert mode sounds pretty good. Clean, low distortion, quiet cabin no audible interior rattling. Wondering how well these tracks would sound in studio mode? I thought studio mode made all the difference in the members video.

    You said a bit of high end is missing. How do you compare this system to Volvo's B&W given that they have a dedicated tweeter that sticks out and is pointed directly at the listeners to solve this exact issue I imagine?

    For me, after having had a plethora of different cars over the years, the tesla has had the best sound system by far. My iX is due to arrive in 3 weeks and opted for the HK as I didn't notice much difference to justify the extra cost implications.

    The Volvo XC90. Strikes the perfect balance for me between warm and bright. Next would be GX460, that's like listening to a mahogany bookshelf. Third would be the RR Phantom since it's so silent inside.
