Finer taste for detail? GLE original Burmester!

Some of us car enthusiasts who love blasting music in our Mercedes have been saying that the stock system just doesn't cut it. It's like the sound is flat, lacking that immersive feeling... Especially on those long drives or when you're waiting in the car, you may crave a higher quality music experience. And if you feel like the stock sound system ain't giving you that satisfaction, check out this V167 SUV in the picture. Customer decided to upgrade their ride with the top-notch factory Burmester Surround System.

Burmester and Mercedes have been collaborating for over twenty years. Every surround sound system they create is meticulously fine-tuned and designed to complement the overall cabin space. This one is equipped with a total of 13 high-power speakers, including 5 mid-range speakers, 4 tweeters, 2 front bass woofers, and 2 surround sound effect speakers. And of course, it also comes with the Burmester Power Amplifier, Burmester speaker grilles, and all the necessary fiber optic and wiring components.

After the master technicians work their magic and upgrade your system, you can fine-tune your preferred audio settings through Burmester's sound calibration page. Let me tell you, this Burmester sound system delivers superior performance across the highs, mids, and lows. It's especially outstanding when it comes to vocal performance. The overall effect is not just immersive but also incredibly clear. And with the addition of those two extra surround sound effect speakers, listening to music in the cabin feels like attending a live concert. You can slowly savor the most talked-about music experience!

Be sure to drop by my site for this and more!

Are you offering this to the U.S. market? The photos you posted show Chinese writing, which I cannot understand, and your website; although in english, doesn't quote prices in U.S. dollars.

My shop is located in Hong Kong. At the top right of the page, there is a button that allows you to change currency. I do recommend you to buy this part through a local shop or garage though, because it's easier for them to install for you and assist with coding. You can still take a look at my stuff for other part than can be easily shipped.

F.Y.I., Currency drop-down doesn't work. Keeps displaying HK prices; but, I can do the conversion.

It seems work for me. However I didn't see any way to calculate shipping to the US on any of the products unless shipping is free.

How do you handle the woofers? My biggest complaint is the stock design excessivley energizes the dead pedal driving vibrations into rage driver's left foot (in the left hand drive car)?

I don't know but maybe you can insulate it a bit. This video here goes in great detail about replacing the speakers so maybe it might give you some tips on placing some sound deadening material to reduce the vibration:

It's in German so you'll have to turn on English subtitles.

Has anyone heard of the Gladen brand of speakers in the video above? They appear to be much higher quality than the speakers from the vendor post above but looks don't matter so I wonder how they sound.

There have been several threads featuring this source for high-end amplifiers and speakers:

https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/
The site is very informative about technology and options.

You can even time align your speakers on some of the amps, similar to the high end Burmester.

That's the source I would use, and I'd look for a shop to install it. That is familiar with those products.

Part of my decision about whether to keep my car past 4 years, involves spending the five grand for an aftermarket sound system.

I'm still mad at myself for skipping that option on my '21.
