It’s wild how people who can’t hear the difference want to tell the people who can hear the difference, that they’re fooling themselves. That’s like a person with bad eyesight telling a person with normal to perfect eyesight that the world is blurry to everyone 🤣
I think any quality making us happy with music. In 80-90 we're listening music on fcking forrible cassettes, lol )) And we was happy with sound quality. Why now anybody care about it? Cause they're idiots? Why they're trying cheat themselves? They're just fcked by marketing?
I definitely can distinguish from lossless and regular bit rate. the highs and lows are much smoother with no hissing artifacts, no busy intrumentals. Hi Res audio sounds very airy. let alone the sound stage. and if u still think I'm wrong then you should take a listen at hi res and non- hi res metal music. these kind of genre require a lot of resolution to breathe. else it's just a busy mess
Well no they use lossy codecs
8:37 I think thats the point. A sensor as small as an smarthphone (regardless the brand) would be less quality than a camera that has a bigger better specialized sensor. The statement stays. 8k on iPhone changes nothing in quality of light received by the sensor, but ill do wonders draining up your storage to spend more on bigger capacity phones and iCloud. Beware your money, If you are really worried about quality, get a nice camera to compliment your setup and save your iPhone’s battery (or even get a cheaper model), if you are able to. If you cant, beware 8k’s memory consumption against almost unnoticeable quality improvement.
Hot take: switching a YouTube video to 4k even though not watching on a 4k display still looks way better.
U can tell the difference
The hard pill is, if you want the best headphones, it would be studio headphones that musicians use
I can definitely hear the difference. I even took a test for it.
What audiotechnika headphones are they using?
I have both Beats Pro & AirPods Max and let me tell you, you can definitely hear a big difference in the Beats Pro. The AirPods Max not so much.. pretty much sounds the same..just a little different..if any. Both headphones need the USB-C to USB-C cable to achieve lossless audio. In standard wireless mode, the AirPods Max sounds richer than the Beats Pro. I love them both.
Okay… I’m no audiophile and even I could detect the difference
I tend to agree w Marcus (mostly) although the source IS important, I find its the equipment that makes the most difference. I have headphones that can make mp3s sing 🙂
Apple is looking for a big lawsuit against those fakes promising 😮😮
Wild thing to say from a youtube channel that films on cinema cameras and expensive supercardioid microphones
Imagine not being able to hear the difference between Wav and MP3 and then decreeing that everyone therefore cannot hear the difference. I can't run a sub 2hr 10min marathon but that doesn't mean no one can…
Mkbhd always likes to trying to be the know everything IT guy, and every time he said something for pretending he his an "expert" makes him more of a layman. Not to mention his car channel
I am a sound engineer and Wil gladly take an audio test right in front of your face to prove that I can easily tell the difference between aac and lossless codes like ldac. It's not even close. In fact the whole argument that humans can't hear that high is an outright lie. Most humans have been proven to hear up to 24 khz. Which airpods can't reach. They can only reach up to about 18 khz. But even of it were true that you can't hear that high, you can still hear the resampling that happens when using Bluetooth. And it's always better to start with the original source when compressing audio. It's also better to have the sample rate and bit depth of the codec the same as the song and audio device. It's called bit perfect playback. Resampling has audible cons and pretending that the outdated apple codec that they invented in the 90s isn't outdated is just fan boyish and unprofessional. If you have me as a guest I will gladly explain all the differences and why lossless audio is truly better. What you fail to realize is that lossless audio actually isn't lossless. It's just lossy enough that humans can't tell the difference. So further downsampling that to a codec like aac, which deletes information deemed not audible, is a lie. The 16 bit 41.1 khz audio that lossless gives us already does that though. Aac is technically like compressing a video on youtube. And you arguing that there's no difference is equivalent to a nobody claiming that youtube 4k is the same as trueraw video 4k. Its just a lie. Plain and simple. The numbers mean something. I'm sorry, you are wrong.
As what I have heard from the audiophiles I follow. Lossless audio is used for audiophiles to listen to their equipment, not the music.😂😂😂
Stick to Camera reviews MKBHD, Audio isn't your realm
I just completed the NPR lossless audio blind test and scored 5 out of 6 correctly.
1:25 you people?🤨
@@mkbhd skill issue 😂
“I… don’t care” – 🍎 is out of ideas
rather dumb statement, sorry buddy.
the male lightning to male 3.5mm isn't new
He’s got a point. As a recording artist, producer I did a blind tests between takes of loss and lossless recording and guess what: I got it right one out of three times. Withstanding my hearing is not as good as it once was, I would wonder if others credibles can do this same blind testing too (out of 3 comparisons) and give us their results. Right here on YouTube within the next 24 hrs. GO!
6:15 that's right. Apple does have the Lightning to 3.5mm receiver dongle, but the first time it appeared was iPhone 7, 2016.
If you’re Listening on iPods then no you can’t tell a difference but if you’re listening on “hifi” equipment then there is a huge difference.
Why are techie reviewers so STOOPID when it comes to audio quality?? BT is great for convenience but shitty for audio quality. All the guys on this dumbass podcast grew up listening to MP3s no wonder they can’t hear the difference between lossy and lossless. SAD!!
Just make the headphones louder I bet most people would be happy with it
I really hope this comment is seen by Marques. I don’t think that the benefit of the addition of lossless audio on the AirPods Max is listening quality. There are professional applications that benefit mightily from the Max’s ability to have the low latency audio, namely Logic Pro on the iPad. Previously the only way to have a low latency audio experience with the lightning version of the Max was using the lightning to 3.5mm headphone cable. But this did had a noticeably poorer quality than dedicated studio headphones plugged in via amp. With this update, there is no quality difference, latency difference between the two. The experience as a whole is improved when producing music on the iPad because now you can plug directly into it with a single usb c cable and the AirPods Max as opposed to having a usb C cable going into a separate amp, and then a USB C to 3.5 mm headphone cable with a 1/4 adapter plugged into the amp. I don’t even think I’m doing it justice. The experience is miles better than before. Thank you Apple.
9:51 That's what she said 🙂
i’m an audio engineer. and i have heard my own music uploaded to a streaming service not lossless, and lossless. and i was hearing it not lossless wondering why it sounded so awful. and had to reupload it at 96k sample rate and enable lossless and i heard the difference lol
