Everyone's talking about high-resolution or high-fidelity audio now that multiple major streaming services — including Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, and Spotify — support lossless quality. In simple terms, lossless audio is a recording that hasn't lost any information during compression. However, it's important to remember that Bluetooth audio codecs compress these recordings, even if they're originally lossless.
There's no way around that, unless you're using a truly advanced (and rare) codec like Qualcomm's AptX Lossless. That said, some Bluetooth codecs are better than others. If you have a pair of Sony earbuds or headphones, you can use LDAC, a high-quality Bluetooth codec that supports 32-bit/96kHz audio at up to 990 kbps.
