Airpods Models Won T Support Lossless Audio In Apple Music

After a flood of leaks and teasers over the past few days, Apple has finally announced Hi-Res Lossless audio support for Apple Music. However, this new audio format will be useless for the company’s own lineup of audio accessories, including the AirPods, AirPods Pro, and the AirPods Max. These devices will not support lossless audio over Bluetooth.

As per recent reports, Apple has confirmed that its upcoming Hi-Res Lossless audio tier will only work with wired headsets and might even require an additional dongle or a USB digital to analog converter. So, this chucks out Apple’s AirPods line as they are essentially truly wireless earbuds and headphones with no wires or dongles.

While this is sad news for AirPods owners, the good news is that all the AirPods model will support Apple’s Spatial Audio technology along with Dolby Atmos. So, following the rollout of Hi-Fi lossless audio in Apple Music, users will be able to enjoy 360-degree audio with AirPods. Moreover, it gives artists a chance to create more immersive audio experiences for their fans.
