2021 Lexus IS 350 - Mark Levinson 17-speaker Sound-system Review 

The fact that the audio is coming through the camera and it sounds like it was edited into the video, is really really impressive. Good job Lexus

This guy was going 75mph soo smoothly, it looks like he was going 40mph

I like the first song. Lexus has really stepped it up by adding touchscreen infotainment. I’ve always been a Lexus/Toyota fan. Reliable and well built cars.

You have to get your hands on a Lexus LS500. Test out that 2400Watt system in that car.

That was a real beast of a sound system, odd how Volvo and Lexus which are considered to be slightly traditional in comparison to the Germans have the best sound systems.

I have a 2006 is350 and I was convinced I had the ML because of how good the sound was but I don’t I can’t even imagine how good the upgraded ML is.

Yesss the best car audio system reviews on youtube❤️❤️ Thanks for making these❤️❤️

I miss my 2017 lexus is. I didn't have the "mark levinson" but those speaker from my lexus were something different level of experience. You could of hear the person singing in front of you every type of music. A true audiophile

A beautiful Wisconsin Sunday afternoon with that stereo system: Priceless. For anything else: you are on your own.

The "Ending EDM" is literally healing my ears lol

I have been watching your videos now for some days and like them very much! Please keep up the great work! Greetings from Germany :)

Hope you can do 5-8 min, no music drive on the highway. Would like to see the quietness of the new Is. My 18 A4 got some noticeable tire noise with about 25000km when over 60-80km.

8:00 that bass drop is 🔥

This really did sound amazing. 🔥 🔥 🔥

Damn that sounds good. Good job!

Nice review…and way to keep your eyes on the road! I have a Levinson system in my ‘15 RC350, and had been running it with the surround on. I was clicking around this morning, and switch the surround off, and thought it sounded better. Your experience seemed to confirm this…my ears do not deceive. Thanks.

The base stereos on those cars sound pretty great as well

Can you review the Lexus ES 350 with Mark Levinson audio? Preferably 2013 if you can get your hands on it, if not any later year models. And thank you so much for having an almost dedicated channel for car audio systems, you are the best! Thank you.

I have a 2016 Lexus IS250 F sport and the sound system sounds so darn good.

I can feel the power of that bass from opposite side of the earth

Dope sound dope 🎧

The Acura tlx also has an impressive sound system, but that really sounded good, & that's really important to me in a car because I listen to a lot of music

The track at around 9:00 is phenomenally beautiful and emotional

The sub must have been really powerful; can even hear it through the recording

This Car is Fun. Greetings from Germany

how is this thing cruising down the highway at 70+ mph and so serene and quiet.

It'd be better to do this by using the CD player instead of a USB drive. That's why Toyota/Lexus decides to keep the CD player because of better sound quality. Moreover, next time, try using music from Hans Zimmer . His music is a masterpiece.

I have the 2018 Lexus GS 350 f sport with the Mark Levinson system. I don’t like it the door speakers are terrible and all the front dash speakers plays the highs while the sub woofer isn’t really great. The tweeters are okay. I’m going to change out the speakers and get me an highs and mid amp along with a 2 channel bass amp.

says the audio is lossless in order to give us the best results... on a compressed youtube video

The problem with this 2021+ LexusI IS 350 are hard to find with Mark Levinson system. Mark Levinson is more common on the 2022+ Lexus IS 500 but way more money compared to IS 350.

Compared to the Acura TLX ELS sound system, which one wins in a shootout? This one or the ELS? Based on the bass "slap" you were getting on the ELS, vs. the "shaking mirror" of this one, it would seem this one wins. Would that be accurate?

Would love to see more of the exterior

The audio system in here is unbelievable.

Hello, I am very grateful for your effort and your content. Can you try the new Kia K7 2020 Elvis Lift Kia Cadenza full-featured version also there are many looking for this vehicle

Awesome😃 Great review Charlie😊

Yooooo it's my dad's audio system

My friends base 2022 Lexus NX has more bass than the new IS 17ML but the quality is better on the IS

Next, should try 2021 Genesis g70 premiums sound system and Acura TLX type s premiums sound system. I want to see those stack against this system. Very nice testing!

I will be honest every car should have the same joystick a mazda 3 has. Only using the touch screen is so annoying while driving but I can use the joystick with my eyes closed

Omg the sound is amazing. How can I play this wonderful sounds in a Lexus?

So the TLX ELS is superior to this it seems.

Does anyone know how many watts are in the 10 speaker Pioneer system? Thanks in advance

realy cool review man, but can you tell me pls the song name at 7:47, it is not listet in the description.

How would you compare this to the Lexus GX sound system? Or the Volvo S90

Do you realize that 99% of us are listening to this on 6mm speakers? We have absolutely no idea how it sounds, ya genius!

fine review but i wish you would signal before changing lanes bro

Basically Lexus gave us a second refresh in 2021 and will continue to milk it for another 7 yrs really Lexus 50k for a car that still has no power folding mirrors while a 32k mazda6 has that feature and a more powerful turbo engine than the is300.

How does the new ML system work? My 2018 IS 350 F has the older 800+ watt system with fifteen, I believe, speaker system. Is the sub a dedicated larger size? Haven’t seen much info on the new 21 IS ML

I regret watching this video I have a 2021 Lexus is350 and I don’t have the mark Levinson audio and now I’m regretting it lol

Just to confirm, the ML system in this model is superb but lacking in the 2022 Lexus ES ??

Thanx for the Mark Levinson review. Hopefully you'll be able to review the standard Lexus Premium Sound System (with no available Navigation). Location and size of the amplifier, the location/size/ type of speakers, if the low level audio output of the factory head unit is on MOST bus over copper or fiber or analog, if that signal is fixed or variable and whether it is a flat full range signal. All this info is required at a minimum to plan out a full aftermarket replacement sound system installation. The standard system will of course need an aftermarket upgrade, which if designed correctly, will sound MUCH better than any ML system. Presently there is no aftermarket integration/interface device that interprets the Lexus low level audio MOST bus over copper/fiber when the car is configured with Mark Levinson and/or Navigation, making it very difficult to interface an aftermarket DSP/ amplifiers/speakers system to a Lexus car w/available ML and/or Navigation. Since RU-vid compressed audio is terrible and the sound of our phone/computers is not the best sounding of playback devices, playing music in your reviews is a waste of time and gives your viewers no valid info...just saying. The actual system layout, how the speakers are wired to the amp, the resistance/ohms type and size of the speakers, the location, size how many channels and power of the amp and the head unit low level audio output topology is what is useful. Hopefully you take my comments as they are intended...as constructive criticism geared towards more helpful audio reviews in the future.

Can I upgrade my basic speakers on Lexus ES 300h to mark livenson ?

bass 👌🏽❤️

Any chance to test Mark Levinson 17 speakers on 2020 Lexus ES 350.

“ASL automatically adjusts the volume and tone quality according to the vehicle speed.”Has nothing to do with balancing out the sound.

Am I wrong or did the reviewer take down his fuel economy and driving POV videos of the 2021 Lexus IS350?

how would you compare to stock audio system in the IS? anyone?

Sounds very good

Please try audi a8 bang olufsen advanced soundsyste, not the premium you tried on q5. 1920 Watts of power and 23 speakers

Did you know toyota crown high end models has 18 speakers 5.1 surround. Mirror shaker also lol

Do you know what Bluetooth codec is used? That appears to be the only way to get a straight digital signal into the system from a phone.

Quick question, on your next audio system test can you play “Forgot by Trevor Daniel”? Or “Here with me by Marshmellow” both are very good for testing a sound system in my opinion Please :)

what do you like more? Do you lke the mark levinsons or the Bowers in the XC60?

How would you compare it to the 590 MBUX in the Mercedes Benz A-220?

What system does a 2021 IS350 F Sport 3 have? because I tried looking into it and couldn’t find anything in options in Canada.

So Charlie have you actually had a system worth 10 points?

Bro next time pls test with edm or r&b music

Is it good in the 2021 ES??

play carti thru that bihhhh

Could you do a in-family PK with its ES350 brother? Thanks

1800 Watts peak probably 800 Watts RMS

What is the price tag

Where did your other vids go of the IS????

Never turn on sound levelizer you will loose half of you volume...

Can you play FLAC files from a USB drive.?

put on some jcole or migos then we will know how good it sounds this don't do any justice

Bowers & Wilkins all day long

Can you get the Mark Levinson system without the navigation?

How is the base premium system? I’m looking to get the IS but it doesn’t have levinson.

I wonder if 17 speakers is healthy for your ears!!! Anyways the sound is impressive

price plz?

Perhaps the Bmw G20 Harman Kardon fares poorly in relation to this Audio?

Would you mind telling me that songs‘ name from5:12 to7:50,thank you

This vs Bowers in the volvo?

What...no vocalist in any of the music? Doesn’t seem to represent what the target market would be listing to on an average basis.

Base settings for the ML?

Sign me up for one ☝️ of those

please try to get an ls500(h) with the mark levinson 2400watt system would love to hear your thought on it :)

8:50 what track is that ?

What song was on at 8 minutes?

Name of this first song please!?

What is the song name at 10:30?

So is it good or bad ?

Would love to see the Lexus LS500

what's better the lexicon system in the top trim of the G70 or this in the new lexus iS350

Does this guy realize that we’re listening through a 1/8” speaker? All we really care about is his impression, not extended audio through a 1/8” speaker 😂😂😂

When is this car hitting dealerships?

Listening with my DT 770Pro headphones this system has too much midrange and sounds underpowered.

Premium audio on a low quality interior, why? Give us a better interior lexus wtf
