Ford Mustang Mach-E stereo vs BADBADNOTGOOD [review]

How does the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E standard audio system sound? Pretty decent—but it could use more bass, midrange separation, and shielding from interference. Sorry about the buzzing, I’m refining my setup and will do my best to reduce audio interference and artifacts in the future!(!!)

1.68 -> Hey everyone! I'm Michael with May I Drive Your Car! I'm here in the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach e with

8.64 -> the standard stereo and we're going to do a little audio test with a song that I've heard dozens and

15.84 -> dozens of times. It's "Time Moves Slow" by Bad Bad Not Good and Samuel T Herring from Future Islands.

23.94 -> I am streaming the audio from my phone via Spotify and Apple CarPlay. On the car

32.16 -> stereo I've zeroed out all the EQs and I've made everything as neutral and as factory stock as I

38.94 -> as I possibly could. What I'll do is start out at full volume and see if the stereo can take it! So

48.48 -> without further adieu, here is "Time Moves Slow"

51.78 -> by Bad Bad Not Good and Samuel T Herring in the Ford Mustang Mach-E.

56.76 -> [music: "Time Moves Slow" by Bad Bad Not Good and Samuel T Herring]

86.28 -> Right off the bat, there's a weird mid-frequency noise that's kind

89.88 -> of buzzing in the door—I'm going to turn it down slightly and keep going…

93.68 -> [music: "Time Moves Slow" by Bad Bad Not Good and Samuel T Herring]

189.96 -> I would wish for a little bit more separation there between the vocals and the mid-range.

195.36 -> Samuel's voice was being just drowned out there—hopefully

199.92 -> that comes across on the binaural microphones

202.44 -> [music: "Time Moves Slow" by Bad Bad Not Good

211.8 -> and Samuel T Herring]

300.18 -> Honestly, I wish for more volume if that makes any sense!

305.4 -> It's just kind of muddled there in the mid-range on this song. But it's one of those songs that,

311.82 -> you know, if you like it, you just want to crank the volume and hear every single part of

316.98 -> the song! But it is just sort of kind of swimming in its own its own juices there in the mid-range…

324.87 -> [music:

351.72 -> "Time Moves Slow" by Bad Bad Not Good and Samuel T Herring]

378.3 -> Yeah, at the end there when the drums are hitting, I just I want more of a gut punch,

388.86 -> you know? I'm really missing that like, deep in the chest

396.12 -> Thump>> at the end of the song, because it it really it really brings it home. I think

400.44 -> it really makes the song something special when you're listening to it at high volume.

406.32 -> But otherwise it was decent. I think the Mach-E handled it well, but again I would have liked

417.42 -> a little bit more clarity and a little bit more separation between the channels especially when

422.46 -> you have a singer like Samuel Herring. His voice is so deep, and I think a lot of systems end up,

432.42 -> you know, just…it's really, really tough to get that separation when someone's voice is

440.22 -> sounding at the same same sort of frequencies as some of the instruments in the song.

445.38 -> But otherwise, that is my audio review! That was the reaction to hearing this song in the

451.92 -> Mach-E. If you enjoyed this content, please Like and Subscribe! There are more audio reviews in

461.88 -> my playlists and on my channel. And please, in the comments let me know which songs you'd like

466.62 -> me to tackle next—and which vehicles you'd like me to to listen to them in! So, uh,

472.74 -> that's been it for me: I'm @ May I Drive Your Car and my first car stereo test for YouTube.
