I’ve been listening to music in the Elroq for a while now and I can confirm that the standard sound system is very good, perfect for most people unless the music is the be all and end all.
The sound system can only be considered “very good” if audio quality/music ranks somewhere between colour of the seat padding material and fastener size used to hold the wheel liner on, in importance.
It’s rather odd to suggest that everyone who doesn’t like Skoda standard audio systems has to consider “music to be the end all and be all”, or “extremely important”. It’s a bit like me, like just now, suggesting that you only consider the system “very good” because you simply couldn’t care less about what the music sounds like.
For reference, feel free to browse Reddit, Skoda forums as well as FB groups about the standard Enyaq/Elroq sound systems, these people aren’t all hardcore audiophiles. Neither am i, i bet Kezo and MFillingham would cringe at my audio settings which tend to be “warm” or bass-heavy. The second Lynyrd Skynyrd came on, we noticed – and then, when Johnny Cash made his entry i knew that we’d never be happy with the standard sound. I’ve, genuinely, heard portable speakers with better sound than that. And we used “my” music (AA paired), so we had a direct comparison.
Apparently, and that probably tells MFillingham and Kezo more than it does for me, the issues can be fixed by installing a Match UP 7DSP. I don’t know how involved that is, i don’t even particularly know what it is or does – i just know that it came up quite often as “the fix”. Contrary to your opinion, i actually don’t care enough to pursue the issue that far – that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist though.
If all you do is play BBC Radio 2 on second lowest volume settings, then sure. It’s adequate. If you enjoy listening to music, in any capacity, it’s not.
