I don't understand why people buy these nice and expensive headphones only to use Spotify, arguably the worst quality music streaming service that exists. It sounds so bad compared to Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, or even Napster. At least you are getting lossless sound with those, it won't be the same as having a ripped flac from a CD but anything is better than the AAC 128/320kbps that Spotify offers. It just bothers me when I see photos of headphones on this sub and then they have Spotify open in the background, I just can't understand!

Eh, i don't care really, youtube music is good enough for me, it has everything my super weird and nieche music taste likes, and it doesn't sound horrible, do i get the best quality music? no.
But you could make the same argument for cars, why do people buy 600hp cars or 200+ hp motorcycles when they can only go up to 130km/h (ignoring german gigachads here), precisely because even if you get limited you can still have more fun with it
