I don't feel like streaming quality is the biggest issue. Spotify's highest quality rate (for paid users) is pretty good, but the audio compression for streaming to a bluetooth device kills the quality. I've stuck with wired headphones because the quality is so much better than bluetooth.
- mud_dauber 7y agoagreed. wired headphones are the way to go.
- petra 7y agoWhat about apt-HD ? how's the quality ?
- naoru 7y agoI have Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless with aptX HD support and the sound is marvelous. No compression artifacts at all. AptX HD implementation on Pixel 2 XL, on the other side, is subpar. I sometimes get nasty clicks on music with high dynamic range and there's no way to avoid them other than to set output codec to anything but aptX HD, which tremendously affects the quality.
- panpanna 7y agoI noticed turning the headphone on and off while disabling BT on phone often fixes that. Google might not be at fault here, I suspect this is Qualcomm code.
- panpanna 7y agoI have two wireless headphones, one with and one without but otherwise similar. The difference in quality is HUGE for music, not so much for anything else.
- phyalow 7y agoI disagree, I have switched from Spotify premium (HQ) to Tidal uncompressed and have noticed a huge difference. I usually listen on a wired pair of Senheisser HD-25 ii’s. Its very frustrating for me that Spotify doesn’t support anything better than 320 MP3, it truly sounds muddy.
