  • Spotify is fine, it’s the best platform in terms of algorithms, UI, discovery, social, etc. 320 kbps is audibly transparent for most things, even when it rarely isn’t you have to be actively listening really hard for a barely noticeable compression artifact.

    For wireless headphones, you absolutely do not need to worry about it, just enjoy your new cans. If you’re still getting audiophile nervosa about bitrates, try an ABX test lossless Vs 320, you might be surprised how little difference (if any) you can or can’t hear.

    If you want the absolute best sound possible, you’d be better off saving the difference in subscription costs and putting it towards a higher end pair of headphones. If you get to the point when you’re spending multiple kilobucks on your entire audio chain, maybe think about lossless, but even then probably not imho.
