martyn Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I am On the configurator and options list is running upwards and away, I have Bose in my current car, but have never heard the sound package plus system, can I save just over £800 and go with the standard music system, I am playing Pink Floyd almost all the time, 🙂 🙂 but confess I am a bit tone deaf! Would I notice the difference? What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 How much do you drive the car? For boring daily traffic jams - good music. For weekend blasts - who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Comparing apples and aadvarks here given they are older cars compared to what you are looking at... I had BOSE in a 987.1 and it was "Meh" , have SPP in my 987.2 and for my lo-fi ears it more than does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Also disappointed with my 987.1 Bose. But I think here it's been said that 981 sound is far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I’m certainly not a music connoisseur by a long chalk, but as I haven’t got PSE on my current car, I might well spend less time listening to PF and more time to the new GTS exhaust music! One could say, “who needs Bose”…… Edited June 25, 2021 by martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit_287 Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 I had SPP in my 987.2 and I thought it sounded more than adequate, I now have Bose in my 981 and I can’t really tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm E Box Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 My previous 718 Boxster had Bose and this one does not. Can barely tell the difference especially with the roof down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark-yorkshire Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 I have had a 987.1 , 987.2 , 981 plus 3 Macans all with standard sound system which was acceptable. Have got Bose in my 718 Boxster T and whilst it is better than the standard system I don’t think I would spec it - would rather put the cash towards something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 The Bose is nothing special- especially in a noisy car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
