For me audio experience in a car is one of the most important things and unfortunately almost nobody covers that aspect in reviews. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for taking time to review this. One of best car audio system review I have seen. I appreciate the effort to make it as realistic as possible with music selections and higher quality microphone.
Thanks....this is really appreciated. Love your reviews in a real world driving test. I liked and subscribed and will share it w ppl who like this kind of stuff. 👍😊
Thanks a bunch, John! We appreciate it! Let us know if there are any specific vehicles you'd like to see tested.
@@DailyMotor How does this JBL compare to the Bose in the Enclave, or the Mark Levinson in the new NX350?
Toyota really does some of the best sound systems, especially outside of the luxury brands. JBL has stepped their game up in recent years. Just wish the infotainment systems were more user friendly.
You’ve never tested the Jbl in the Tundra have you?
@@jmd11185 Sure have, but keep in mind it was an older video. One of our first sound tests czcams.com/video/yC3TwoRdXYI/video.html
Slightly off topic, but I'd like a playlist of the music you used for the demonstration. I like classical, jazz and rock, but none of those tracks were familiar to me. Thanks, and thanks for the review.
There’s no way this thing is putting out 1200 watts.
Mine sounds like maybe 200…it sucks imo
This was very informative and helpful. The only problem is no matter how great the audio quality is, it's impossible to listen to it on a PC, phone, or any other device and duplicate it. It would be helpful to provide more information on the settings. Thanks!
This is a really good review, I felt that it was one of the best car audio system reviews on CZcams - simulating as much of a real experience as possible. I am considering purchasing a new Highlander in the Platinum trim and the audio system can be a deal maker or breaker for me. I had a Camry XSE a few years back with the JBL GreenEdge system and it was AWFUL! The system was so incredibly front-staged even with everything balanced (didn't give you that 360 degree surround experience with music coming from all directions) and it didn't sound very loud even with the volume cranked up to maximum...making road-trips with extensive highway and interstate driving unbearable. In your opinion, did you experience any of that in the Highlander? Was the sound direction more front-seat/dashboard oriented? Did you feel that the volume was lacking even when cranked up?
I have the 2020 highlander limited and that is exactly how I feel the radio is…not great!
It basically sounds like how a stock radio should sound not a premium radio
Love your sound reviews!
Thanks for making this unique and helpful review! Do you have a review of a non upgraded JBL sound system? I'm debating between the XLE and Limited trim, with the audio system being one of the top reasons I do want the limited.
Thanks! Unfortunately not :/ I'll try to get my hands on one, but it would probably be after you decide. Good luck!
I owned the xle and it’s on average but I would suggest you to go with the limited trim
Great review. I mostly just use CarPlay 90% of the time. In that case, how’s the usability w just CarPlay? We have a bmw and it’s great when wireless CarPlay actually works. But 20% of the time it just doesn’t connect and you have to go they many menus to get to CarPlay or reset it. Uconnect in my Pacifica is basic, but CarPlay works 100% of the time. It’s just so simple and easy to use. I much prefer my uconnect over idrive.
Thanks! That's funny you mention that, because we just had a 235i Gran Coupe, and we were getting frustrated getting CarPlay to connect. Whole process took about 10 minutes. CarPlay in the Highlander definitely helps, and it's a good point that many owners will use CarPlay or Android Auto regularly with most new cars. But I also know many people who don't like having to plug their phone in every time they get in the car.
Can you please tell us which in-ear binaural microphones are you using ?
There are very good in my opinion 👍
How big of a difference is the XLE system vs the higher trims justify the experience that much to buy? Driven the car just haven’t messed with the audio as much
Have same question myself!
Listened to this in person a 2020 platinum Honestly I’m disappointed that the subwoofer is barely noticeable
Probably the settings were all messed up because mine sound amazing
Mine sucks too
Most the bass is from front door speakers….my balance is in the center position
What music where you playing? Name of songs? Thanks for the reviews
Thank you 🥃
I just purchased a 2020 limited. My radio will go to black screen and go out periodically while driving. Any ideas?
Do updates as they need or it happens to my limited 2020
you should do songs with a lot of bass
We're looking into a good bass track, however heavy bass has trouble transmitting into the mics. But thanks for the suggestion!
Daily Motor ok
Too bad my phone’s speakers suck! Ha! Ha! Great review…thank you.
In previous limited edition models the JBL subwoofer speaker is mounted on the tailgate causing extreme bass vibration, is this still an issue?
How’s JBL compared to let’s say Bose?
Specifically bass
I ha be 2017 highlander limited full jbl and 3017 volt premiere with Bose
They are way too close
They supposed to put the subwoofer in front in the middle? Am I right
No
Ok, at least they put the sub back in the quarter panel. The 2019 model had it in the rear door, which was insanely stupid.
How many speakers on 2021 highlander XLE?
6 speakers if you don’t have JBL option
highest quality would be connecting car apple play or bluetoothing ALAC lossless from iPhone, or dolby atmos again from iphone
Beats Mark Levinson in the Lexus CUV, HK all, And Bose all. Great clean deep bass. Not surprised, JBL modern systems kick butt, but not in a bombastic non clean way. JBL PAs are awesome. I don’t don’t work for them.
I think the reviewer needs his hearing examined on the high end. He likes overblown high end.
Given that every other system has crappy bass, this one is great. Road noise maybe the bigger factor.
Are jbl speakers standard on every trim?
Yes, but you only get the 11 speakers on the limited and platinum
