Apple Music got a huge update in June that allows users to listen to high-quality lossless audio. I have been using it for a while now and my listening experience has increased significantly. Some songs sound so different, it is like listening to those songs for the first time.

Apple has curated some playlists with songs that are Dolby Atmos compatible. With compatible headphones, you can listen to the highest quality of music that is available to the end-user.

Before getting into it, the end result for the user is that music will sound the way it is intended by the artist. Great news for all the audiophiles and it is available at no extra cost. According to Apple.

Apple Music offers an incomparable listening experience that is characterized by the highest audio quality. Thanks to our own implementation of AAC (Advanced Audio Codec), we can provide audio output that is practically indistinguishable from the original studio recording.
