I was able to hear the ML sound system for the first time and the most updated iteration of it as well.. Tbh, it doesn't sound like it's worth the money at all. I would just get the stock system, spend $300-500 on a subwoofer + amp combo and have it installed..
I've heard the ML only in two vehicles, a 2018 IS 350 AWD F Sport and a 2016 RC F. I think it sounded better in the IS to be honest than even that RC. We might be a little spoiled.

Isn't it like a $3K+ package? Literally not worth it

I could definitely live without it. I'm somewhat of an audio snob, but that's less of a big deal in a car, where the sound is already compromised by road and wind noise. I will say the ML distorted less than the standard system at high volume, and it had clearer high frequencies.
With respect to the price, it's a $3k package, yes. But, it also includes navigation and voice commands. The navigation package itself is $1745, so for just $1k more you get the ML. When you look at it that way, it seems worth it.
