    Clearly most people care more about other factors than they do about audio quality that isn’t even discernable through their Bluetooth earbuds.

      Yeah seriously; unless you’re an audiophile who spends extra on quality headphones, your Bluetooth buds are probably using the SBC codec, which cuts off frequencies at 16kHz and thus is hardly better than listening to a 128Kbps MP3. (In Android you can see what codec your headphones are using by going into the developer options.)

      And to be honest, if you care enough about sound quality to spend extra on the high res tier in your streaming service of choice, you’re probably using wired headphones. Audiophiles don’t fuck with Bluetooth.

        Ldac only for me.

        Nah I have a few different ones and aptx adaptive is pretty solid.

        It’s funny because it wasn’t until I started producing music and driving samples that I realized 320kbps mp3 IS NOT the same nor is it comparable to lossless audio

        As for the whole “audiophile” thing I don’t even know what to make of that.
