Hi Folks,
My Macan 4 EV has the Bose, and I was firmly in the team "Bose not good" camp until the last couple of days (after nearly 3 weeks of ownership and average of 1 hour listening daily). As much as I believed speaker "break-in" was a myth, I honestly find the Bose sounds significantly better than when I got it (settings are bass at +6, treble at +5 since day 1). Firstly, I now have bass. I could have sworn it was like the subwoofer was disabled until 2 days ago, but now I get smooth, punchy bass without it feeling booming or exhausting. I always found that voices sounded good (front and center). I have been listening to songs from my iPhone via Carplay, SiriusXM and the radio. Initially the Bose sounded so flat, basic and almost AM-radio-like. But now it is much richer, fuller and overall more pleasant that when I first got it. I was totally discouraged and disappointed but am much happier. I don't think it's me getting used to the sound, it really is much better, as even my wife was saying that it sounded awful initially but is ok with it now. Anyway, this is only my experience, but feeling much better about the Bose.
