    Apple Music Disappointing Atmos & How Apple Can improve this.

    I’m coming to this as a bit of a surround sound geek so please bear with me. Dolby Atmos music on Apple Music is really disappointing so far. I am using 3rd party headphones so those with supported AirPods may get a better experience. A lot of songs sound like they are being presented very...

    Apple Music Lossless over Bluetooth? Why do people 'expect' this?

    I think that not enough people understand what lossless audio is. It's not some sort of magic technology that unlocks a hidden layer in your music. It just keeps tiny, inaudible details from the original recording in—mostly noise. At the cost of several times higher bandwidth. See for yourself...

    APM volume outside of Apple Music

    Hi everyone, So I bought a pair of APM, coming from the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless. First thing I noticed was that the Airpods Max are definitely a bit "quieter" when it comes to volume. The M3s are very loud headphones. That's not a big issue when listening to Apple Music as music is more...

    iOS background audio and PIP questions

    I like to listen to audio in the background while I use other apps (especially casual games). In some cases, though, even with the audio settings inside the active app being set to "off" or equivalent, the background audio from Apple Music will always be paused (even if I resume it from the...
