Was looking over the new Mercedes lineup the other day and noticed they are offering Burmester as an optional sound system in a number of their models. I would never have figured this company would enter the car audio market. Does anyone have a Burmester system in their Merc? I would be interested to hear some feedback on how the gear performs within the confines of a car (and all that ambient background noise).

It's probably good when you're parked.

A car is worse than any member's worse listening room.

they've been doing car audio for a while, I think since 2010 Porsche Cayenne & Panamera models. If you will go to 6speedonline, you can find some feedback, some really like, some not so much.

Hi,
The Burmester is the standard sound system in the s-class starting in 2014,the optional Burmester one is 6400.00 and has 18 speakers and about 6 amps throughtout the car.
I heard both and they are very good.Standard is excellent,optional Burmester is tremendous.
I have a 2102 s550,so I missed out.The Harmon Kardon in mine is not very good.

Burmester has been in that audio segment for a while. The Bugatti Veyron was fitted with a Burmester sound system. Porsche and Mercedes followed.

I ordered the Burmester sound system for my next Merc but I don't expect miracles. A car is the worst audio room you may have.

An audio system in a Bugatti seems somewhat antithetical to me. :confused:
