To access lossless audio on AirPods Pro, you need to ensure that you have the appropriate hardware and software setup. Apple has introduced support for lossless audio in Apple Music, which can be enjoyed on AirPods Pro with the following steps:
-
Ensure Compatibility: Make sure your AirPods Pro and the device you are using (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) are updated to the latest software versions.
-
Apple Music Subscription: You need an active Apple Music subscription to access lossless audio tracks.
-
Enable Lossless Audio:
- On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Music > Audio Quality.
- Under Audio Quality, you can enable Lossless Audio and choose between Lossless (up to 24-bit/48 kHz) and Hi-Res Lossless (up to 24-bit/192 kHz).
-
Listening with AirPods Pro: Once lossless audio is enabled, you can listen to lossless tracks on your AirPods Pro. Note that while AirPods Pro can play lossless audio, the audio is transmitted over Bluetooth, which may not fully preserve the lossless quality due to Bluetooth limitations.
