2021 Lexus RX – Mark Levinson 15-speaker Sound System Review | Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

Mark Levinson radios are always strong, but the RX's 15-speaker system is one of the best we've experienced. It doesn't utilize a ton of speakers or fancy sound modes but instead relies on great tuning, placement, and quality to make for a great listening experience. If the RX were a bit quieter on the highway, it would be that much better, but altogether, this is a top system.

Great job highlighting the magnificence of the ML sound system in the RX350. My all-time favorite sound systems beginning with my favorite: 1. 2017 RX350 Luxury edition Mark Levinson sound. 2. 2006 Chrysler Pacifica Limited with Infinity sound system (yep, it;s freakin' fabulous!). 3. 2021 Mercedes E53 AMG with the $4500. upgraded Burmester sound system. Ironically, I have all 3 of these vehicles at the same time...yes, I like to rock while rolling!

My favorite part about all your audio videos is the bass section :D

[aerotus]

With a music system that amazing it's no wonder RX owners don't care about driving dynamics. I too would be happy wafting around listening to the amazing sound system!

[timothybracken]

if you get charlie to say OH MAN that means it's some good stuff :) if hes quiet you know it sucks but hes just being nice still giving it a 8/10. I've been watching daily motor for over a year now lol

We have a 2010 RX w the base audio. The base audio itself is ok. But since I listen to music at a quiet level, the quiet interior at speed blends well w the base audio, resulting in a better than average listening experience.

I’ve been in cars w fancier upgraded audio systems. But they sometime get droned out by the noisy interiors.

Now I’m interested in hearing the upgraded ML system. Especially if you rated it a 9.5!

Love your vids. Side Note: I always end up buying 1 to 3 songs from each vid to enhance my own personal driving experience in my '16 IS350 FSport.

How about Lexus LX500?
Will it surpass GX460?

[nyx.r]

Very nice review ! Do you have any plans to test ML in the latest Lexus ES ? Would really wanna see your opinion :)

[spicymemesz]

Never stop playing the traveling symphony please

[PinkBanshees]

I have a hard time finding one of these with the Mark Levinson system with colors I want.

[Teonkennedy]

Thank you sir, I’m getting ready to purchase a 24 RX500h with the MK SYSTEM.

Is a ML system in Lexus better than a B&W in Volvos?

[wass]

can you review the mark levinson sound system in the lexus es 300h please ?

[AnyBodyWannaPeanut]

Hey Charlie, do you know if the RX plays FLAC files through the USB drive?

[rmonroe]

11:40 you should push the limits to the systems more it doesn’t sound too bad from the mic

[Truck_OFF]

in 2024 used RX350h costs 40k !!!These cars hold their value real well

[AlKororo]

So you rated this system a 9.5 is that an s-tier rating?
Because in another video you gave the NX ml an A+ but you said it sounded a little bit better than the rx

[tbny]

how does the 12 speaker system compare to the ML 15 speaker system?

[ericrecio]

Would you rank this above the current MDX ELS 3D?

[fredhamilton]

Has anyone compared this system vs. the 3G Acura MDX?
