Opus can be amazing at lower bit rates. e.g. try encoding some music you know well at 64bps and compare to a 128k mp3. The higher bitrates (above 128) aren't so advantageous. https://wiki.xiph.org/Opus_Recommended_Settings https://wiki.xiph.org/Opus_Recommended_Settings (Dec. 2018)

> The higher bitrates (above 128) aren't so advantageous. That’s just because by about 128Kbps Opus is already effectively perfect, where it takes closer to 200Kbps for MP3 to achieve that. Opus is just all-round better than MP3.
