Now that folks are taking delivery..... how does the B&O sound system compare to other stock options in other cars?

Did your '17 Trailhawk have the premium (Alpine, I believe) sound option?I don't have the stock option to compare to, but compared to my previous 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk the sound system is a massive improvement. Paying extra money for it is a personal opinion, but it coming with my FE was a big bonus. It sounds great!
I was a bit underwhelmed with the B&O in an Outer Banks. I tried to tweak it too, but the only EQ settings I found were low, mid, high, which is scant tone control for a premium system. Did you get more shaping options and granular tonal control once you turned on the surround?At first I was a little underwhelmed by it, but then I went into the sound settings, turned on surround and tweaked the EQ and its actually pretty good. Marginal improvement over the Sony system in my Escape
Osco,The B&O sounds just fine, reminds me of the 'Shaker' my 2010 Mustang had.
I see/hear no reason to upgrade anything.
It does. It's really weird knowing it's doing that, but it sounds incredible inside lol.I bet the B/O on the badlands makes the fake V8 sound really good. I however wonder about any car stereo mixing two different sound tracks and sounding top notch.
It changes based on drive mode too; it really ups the sound in Sport modeIt does. It's really weird knowing it's doing that, but it sounds incredible inside lol.
Sounds the same as the Sony in my previous Escape Titanium. I don’t hear a difference.Now that folks are taking delivery..... how does the B&O sound system compare to other stock options in other cars?
Came here to say this. If you switch it from stereo to surround and it is amazing. I was not super impressed with it when I first sat down but as soon as I found that setting it has been great. I no longer have a need to upgrade.At first I was a little underwhelmed by it, but then I went into the sound settings, turned on surround and tweaked the EQ and its actually pretty good.
