Bluetooth protocol uses AAC to compress audio. If you use lossless audio with Bluetooth headphones it’ll sound the same because either way you’re always listening to compressed audio

I failed the npr test so I dont think I need it. Either im to old or use shitty Bluetooth headphones… Or both!

Not universally true, mine uses aptx. Depending on the device you can switch between codecs.

It depends, some better Bluetooth headphones (like the Sony WH-1000XM family) support protocols other than SBC, which have a lot higher bandwidth.

To be fair I also tried the test with some 250 dollar monitor headphones and failed too. Probably because the shitty onboard sound card. But also im old.
