Apple MusicĪmazon Music HD is also better than Apple Music… for now. With that comparison in mind, Spotify’s 256kps is similar to MP3 quality - decent enough for everyday listening but hardly the rich, finely-detailed audio you want if you’re a true music fan. While Spotify tracks stream at 320kbps, Amazon Music HD audio streams up to 850kbps (for reference, most CDs play music at 1411kbps). So is Amazon Music HD better than Spotify? The short answer is, yes. Amazon Music HD currently offers music streaming in higher quality than Spotify, meaning you’ll hear your favorite tracks in high-definition, lossless audio. At just $199, the Echo Studio is an Alexa-enabled smart speaker that gives bigger names like Sonos a run for their money, and it’s the only way to get Amazon Music’s 3D audio for now. Amazon recommends its Echo Studio speaker for Amazon Music HD. Keep in mind that the audio quality you hear will only be as good as the device you’re playing your tunes on.
