Is it necessary to opt for the BO audio system in an Audi?

Audi's necessity to opt for the BO audio system depends on individual circumstances. If there is a demand in this aspect, one can choose to install the BO audio system. Broadly speaking, an audio system refers to a device that utilizes electronic circuit design for the mutual conversion between audio signals and electronic signals. However, in general colloquial terms, an audio system typically refers to a complete set of equipment capable of reproducing and playing audio signals. Taking the 2021 Audi A3 Sportback 35 TFSI Progressive Sport as an example, in terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power output of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. Its body dimensions are: length 4351 mm, width 1815 mm, height 1458 mm, with a wheelbase of 2630 mm.
I think the Bang & Olufsen (BO) audio system is really worth opting for in an Audi. I’m particularly particular about sound quality when driving, and the factory audio always feels a bit lacking when listening to music. The BO system delivers deep bass, crisp mid and high frequencies, and creates an excellent sense of spatial sound. Especially during long drives, high-quality music makes fatigue less likely, and even traffic jams feel more bearable. The BO speaker grille design also features a breathing light effect, adding a high-tech vibe as soon as it turns on. Although it costs an extra 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, considering you spend several hours in the car every day, this investment offers great value for money. If you love listening to music while driving or pursue a higher quality of life, you should definitely go for it. After all, the stock audio is just passable, while BO delivers a qualitative leap in auditory enjoyment.
Choosing the B&O sound system should be based on actual needs and budget considerations. The standard audio system is perfectly adequate for daily radio listening. While the B&O offers noticeably finer sound quality, its optional price isn't cheap. From my car-buying experience, spending that money on seat ventilation might be more practical. If you only commute short distances in the city or mainly listen to news and music while driving, there's really no need to spend extra. However, the B&O system does hold its value well - it can fetch a higher price in future used car transactions, and its stereo soundstage is particularly good for listening to music during highway driving. I recommend trying the factory audio first, and only consider the B&O if you find it unsatisfactory. The key factors are personal budget and sensitivity to sound quality - there's no need to follow trends when choosing options.
