Apple Music lossless audio quality is not supported by AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max

The lossless audio feature announced for Apple Music recently will not be supported by AirPods, AirPods Max or AirPods Pro.

Apple has announced two new features to elevate the audio experiences for Apple Music subscribers. Starting June, the music streaming service will offer lossless audio and spatial audio with Dolby Atmos to its users. However, it has now come to light that even Apple's best headphones will not support the lossless audio feature. In fact, all of the audio devices by Apple will not support lossless audio. The list includes AirPods, AirPods Max and AirPods Pro. The reason for this is the high quality of lossless audio, which any of the Apple headphones cannot receive as per their current hardware capabilities. Lossless audio essentially encaptures all the details in audio as recorded at the time of production. The extensive details provide for a much higher quality of audio in large file size. The quality for these files ranges from 16-bit 44.1 kHz playback to 24-bit 48 kHz playback, while Hi-Res Lossless offers 24-bit 192 kHz quality.
