Who has heard the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound Premium Sound System in an automobile?

How much better is this system than the standard harman/kardon Logic 7 system?

Is the B&O system worth the up-charge of $5,400?

I have a B&O system in my 2018 Audi. However I don’t think it’s the “premium” version. That said, it’s extremely average. Perhaps it can’t compare to what you’re looking at though.

Ask Danny- he’s reviewed them all, critically

The HK stuff is horrible. My baby B&O system on my S5 was much better.

That answers my question, Keith! Thank you!

I have B&O in Benz and Aston. I dont know if they are Premium. It is one that push button and the tweeters rise up on dashboard. I think they sound better than Porsche Bose. Better than any high end stuff we are in playing Billy Idol in fact. But the Burmeister sounds best for non-after market car audio.

Ron i test drove an Audi with the B&O system with pop up tweeters. I also have a porsche with the Bose and Benz with the Burmeister.

to my ears the B&O was bright and fatiguing and generally pretty ordinary. At the moment i feel the Burmeister sounds best but needed a lot of tweaking in the equaliser to get the sound right.

My dads Quattroporte GTS had a B&W sound system and it was one of the best I heard not counting after market ones.
