Bose vs Standard

[MatC21]

Hey

Anyone in here has already got their Macan with the Standard sound system? It used to be quite decent on the old Macan so I was wondering if that still applies to the electric?

i got mine ordered without as I much prefer the cargo space in the sub trunk but I am questioning the decision.
I mostly listen to radio and podcasts, so not really any high fidelity music and usually rather silent. I should be fine I guess?

Any opinion from real life experiences are much appreciated.

I think i read someone had heard them side by side and ordered the Bose. It's on here somewhere.

Bose is far better but you'll be fine.

Bose. Unless audio quality is not your priority.

It’s another 1.4k where I live plus I loose valuable trunk space (family car with a small child). So don’t want to order it lightly. My wife usually turns down the bass in our cars and I heard the Bose is quite heavy on bass.

Has anyone actually been able to listen to the standard system?

I am is same position. I never listen to music only speech and I want the extra space plus the saving is significant to be spent on extras I want. I have Bose in my Polestar ( part of package) and haven’t noticed an issue when I have driven loan car without them. I would still like to hear from someone with them but too late for me now as locked in

I don't have Bose. I use the standard sound, and it's ok for me. I use mostly for podcasts

I received mine last Tuesday. I initially ordered it without the Bose system, and by the time I decided to add it, it was too late.

I’ve now driven nearly 900 km, and for me, the standard sound system is perfectly fine. I had Harman Kardon in my BMW, and to be honest, since I mostly listen to radio, podcasts, and occasional Spotify playlists—and never too loudly—I didn't notice much of a difference.

The Bose system does offer surround sound, and I’m sure it would be better than the standard one. But for my needs, I’m actually glad I went with the standard system.

Thank you, that is very valuable feedback. I actually have HK on my small BMW as well. For me that's more than enough, so if it's anywhere close to that I'll be fine with the standard.

If you have a chance: Give it a try. My first Taycan (!) was equipped with standard sound. It was really annoying and my only "configuration mistake" on taycan nr.1. Never again, so i went for bose on taycan nr.2 and the macan.
