"I have cars where you can plug in the music, or go through Bluetooth, and Bluetooth just sounds so flat for the same music."
Is there any more effective way to kill your own argument dead than this? Surely Bluetooth doesn't downsample, compress, or otherwise process the underlying audio while it sends it, which means that this "bluetooth is bad" argument basically comes down to his subjective audiophiliac bias that's not been borne out by any scientific test?
- vibrato 10y agoBluetooth does compress the signal as far as I can tell. "designed to obtain a reasonably good audio quality at medium bit rates while keeping low computational complexity, having Bluetooth bandwidth limitations and processing power in mind " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBC_(codec) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBC_(codec)
- Fej 10y agoBluetooth does in fact compress the audio stream. If I were in a situation where I cared about sound quality, I definitely wouldn't use Bluetooth.
- anotheryou 10y agoThere was definitively heavy compression. I thought however, that this was fixed with newer versions. Edit: if client and receiver support aptX lossless it's all good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AptX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AptX
