Exploring Porsche’s Sound Systems: Bose vs. Burmester
If you’re a true audiophile, then you may want to upgrade your audio system.

Porsche sound systems from Bose and Burmester transform your vehicle into a world-class sound machine so you can enjoy everything from classic symphonies to the latest pop tracks with stunning clarity.
Both of these audio systems are available upgrades for modern Porsche vehicles as a replacement for the sound system that comes as part of your vehicle’s standard equipment. Upgrading your audio system can be done when you order a new Porsche model so you can enjoy incredible sound quality as soon as your Porsche is delivered, or you can ask your Porsche Center to upgrade your vehicle anytime after you buy it.
Available Bose Systems
The Bose premium sound system available for your Porsche will depend on your model. For the 718 Boxster, a 10-speaker system with AudioPilot, SurroundStage, and a 5.1 digital signal is available. On 911 models, the Bose system has 12 speakers and the addition of SoundTrue technology. The Cayenne has a 14-speaker high performance audio system, while the Macan EV builds on the available 14-speaker Bose system with Perceptual Sound Rendering.
AudioPilot is a focal point of the premium Bose sound system and serves as an active noise cancellation system to reduce road, wind, and engine noise while you drive. Sound systems with SoundTrue technology automatically enhance the clarity of compressed music formats, such as if you are playing an MP3 file from your Bluetooth-enabled device.
Available Burmester Systems
The Burmester High-End Surround Sound System is an ideal option for drivers who want a fully immersive sound experience. This 21-speaker system is crafted with 3D sound technology to maximize the quality of the 1,455-watt system. One highlight of this system is the Air Motion Transformer, a system that increases the treble range to produce crystal clear sound quality.
Why Should You Upgrade Your Sound System?
The main reason drivers upgrade their audio system is to enjoy better sound quality. High-performance speakers allow you to hear every facet of your music selection so you can enjoy deep bass lines, undercurrent melodies, and sharper high notes. Better sound quality creates a more enjoyable listening experience, which can have a direct impact on how much you enjoy long trips.
It’s also worth considering that upgrading your sound system now can increase the value of your vehicle, which may be an advantage when you trade in your Porsche for a new model in the future.
Whether you go with Bose or Burmester, you can enjoy incredible sound quality and clarity by upgrading your Porsche’s standard stereo system. Ask about available speakers for your Porsche when you call Porsche Stevens Creek in Santa Clara, CA.
