About Apple music and spotify sound quality

I usually use Bluetooth speakers to play, and then I compared the sound quality of spotify and am. Some songs are the same, while others feel that am is obviously better. spotify I turned on the plugin should be high quality 160kbps, am should be 256kbps. Theoretically, the Bluetooth protocol of iphone is aac, so the theoretical upper limit is 256, but I asked AI, the gap between 160 and 256 should not be that big, so what could be the reason? Is there anyone who can explain 🙏?

Anonymous1966 May 6, 2025spotify doesn't pay for it, and the sound quality is rubbish, not to mention the number of alphabet disks in music, which is incomparable

Anonymous1703 May 6, 2025... As we all know, the sound quality of spotify is not as good as that of am, and it is obvious with headphones...

Anonymous1967 May 7, 2025I can't hear much difference when I use AirPods pro, but when I listen to it with AirPods max, I obviously feel that am is better, the sound quality of am is much clearer, and spotify is a bit stuffy for my ears.
