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!

I've only heard it when I was first getting into audio and I did not hear any real difference between it and any of the MP3's I had downloaded on my PC. Maybe they was slightly louder than my MP3s? Idk.
