bluetooth audio is lossy? why the gently caress would that be acceptable?

designed for low power so there is only barely enough bandwidth for lossless, and there may be more things sharing the link

h2dp aptx gets run at 352 kbps and is not a hopeless codec iirc, so it is not terribly aggressive losses

to add: my plantronics pairs to two devices at a time, so I have my cell and my work system paired so I can do whatever and not care

actually it turns out plantronics is cool and good even with bluetooth

yeah, had the backbeat pros for a while, they were really solid on all the bluetooth stuff

far from the normal case even with more expensive headphones though
