- klodolph 5y agoSpotify's audio fidelity is quite good. It uses AAC or Vorbis at decent bitrates... depending on network connection, but on a reasonable connection, you're going to get something very near to transparent, if not completely transperent. 40 is also not so old, when you are talking about hearing acuity. Meanwhile, you can see from frequency response curves, that high-end headphones might even be off by 5 dB in the high mids, something that should be audible even to 40-year-olds listening to Spotify over a congested network link.
- AstralStorm 5y agoThere's also the fit/refit variability so you cannot quite just correct some of them and call it a day. Plus the cheaper/worse quality products have resonances and other rather audible deficiencies not related to frequency response. (But visible to waterfall diagram or some temporal charts.)
