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.

[GMfan]

I love this car. Volvo is very underrated

[liviurosca]

OMG, i’m looking for one and i’m watching all B&W Volvo reviews on Youtube. 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

[JulezWinnfield]

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.

[StygianStyle]

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

[Trance]

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

[kamilk]

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

[chicagokingpin]

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

[mjm]

Such a well put together video. Great work.

[SunflowerSun]

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. 🙃☺️

Love how you panned when that Volvo passed you

[milliondollars]

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

[BlameGamerOfficial]

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?

[christopherrmcg]

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.

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 💟☮️

[thegamerye]

What is the rattling noise when the bass plays

[garrettw]

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?

[benoit.b]

Excited for this sound system. Care nothing for the car.
