French hi-res streaming platform Qobuz is hoping to tempt the younger generation to its shores with the launch of a discounted subscription tier aimed at students. Titled 'Studio Student', this new tier will be available for enrolled students between the ages of 18 and 25 years old, granting access to the complete Qobuz catalogue at a discounted rate of just $4.99/£4.99 a month. When compared with the standard $12.99/£12.99 for a standard Qobuz Studio subscription, that's quite the saving.
It's hardly a compromised experience, either. Studio Student members gain access to an impressive catalogue of over 100 million tracks, with files ranging from FLAC 16-bit/44.1 kHz (CD quality) to 24-bit/192 kHz (high-resolution) options when using compatible sources and devices. Those lucky students even get access to curated editorial content which delves deep into backstories and minutiae of the artists and labels on offer.
