What is Qobuz?

Launched in France in 2007, it’s a premium music streaming service focused on high-resolution audio (Hi-Res). Unlike Spotify or Apple Music, Qobuz is designed for audiophiles, music lovers, and fans of sound that’s faithful to the original.

Its main focus is offering lossless streaming—ranging from CD quality (16-bit/44.1 kHz) to Hi-Res 24-bit/192 kHz—as well as allowing you to purchase and permanently download high-quality albums.

That said,it’s a 100% paid subscription platform (with no free plan or ads), featuring high-quality human editorial curation, excellent metadata, and a strong focus on classical music, jazz, rock, and independent releases.

Why buy a Qobuz premium account?

Because when music really matters to you, you don’t want to settle for less. You don’t want to miss the nuances the artist left there for you—that texture that only reveals itself when the audio is clean, uncompressed, and unadulterated.

Therefore, a premium streaming account gives you these benefits:

Clean, authentic sound

The platform delivers what others promise but few actually provide: 24-bit, 192 kHz, uncompressed FLAC.

The music sounds the way the artist intended it to sound—not the way an algorithm decided it should sound to save data—so every instrument takes its rightful place.

Because an album is a story, not a playlist

Another reason you should opt for one of this streaming service’s shared accounts is that it isn’t designed for jumping from track to track like someone changing channels.

It’s designed for listening to entire albums, in the order the artist chose, with the intention the artist intended.

If you still remember the thrill of putting on a vinyl record and listening to it from start to finish, Qobuz is the platform for you. And if you haven’t experienced it, it’ll make you want to live that experience every day.

Because you’re not just any listener

On the other hand, if you listen attentively, with curiosity, with your whole heart in your headphones, this service is made for people like you—who understand that music isn’t just noise; it’s pure emotion.

And when you find a platform that respects that, you don’t let it go—instead, you cherish it and even want to keep it within reach at all times, without price being a barrier.

Everything Included in the Qobuz Catalog

You should know that this platform doesn’t compete to have the most viral playlist or the most addictive algorithm, since its strength lies in ensuring that whatever you listen to sounds exactly as it did in the recording studio. And that goal shapes absolutely everything in its catalog.

We’re talking about more than 100 million tracks and all these features:

• Lossless audio. The entire catalog is in FLAC, ranging from CD quality (16-bit/44.1 kHz) to Hi-Res up to 24-bit/192 kHz. There’s no “basic” tier in MP3 or AAC as a fallback: compressed versions simply don’t exist here.
• The most comprehensive classical and jazz catalog on the streaming market. Qobuz was founded in France and, from day one, has been committed to independent labels, classical music, and jazz with a level of detail that Spotify or Apple Music don’t even attempt to match.
• Reissues and original masters. Many historic discographies are available in their most recent and faithful remastered versions, not in the compressed versions that have been circulating on other platforms for a decade.
• Real metadata. Each album includes technical recording information: original format, year of remastering, label, and sometimes even the studio where it was recorded.
• Editorial content written by music journalists. Qobuz publishes reviews, features, and recommendations written by its own editorial team—something no other major platform maintains with such consistency.
• Permanent download store. In addition to streaming, you can purchase DRM-free Hi-Res albums to keep forever—something Spotify and Tidal don’t offer in the same way.

Qobuz Plans and Pricing

There is no free version. From the very first euro you pay, you’re already enjoying Hi-Res quality, with no ads and no reduced audio quality. Here’s what each plan offers:

Qobuz vs. Tidal and Spotify Premium: Which Offers Better Sound Quality?

In terms of pure audio quality, Qobuz and Tidal Premium are ahead of Spotify Premium, which still doesn’t offer lossless streaming on its standard plan. But when comparing the streaming services discussed in this article to Tidal, the difference is no longer as simple as “who has more bits.”

➡️ If your priority is the depth of the classical and jazz catalog, and you prefer to discover music by reading reviews rather than relying on an algorithm, Qobuz is the clear winner.

➡️ If you’re looking for Dolby Atmos, audiovisual content, and a catalog more focused on urban and mainstream music in Hi-Res quality, Tidal may be a better fit for your listening preferences.

What devices does Qobuz work on?

It’s available on virtually any platform where you want to listen to music, though there are important differences depending on the device:

• On a computer, there are native apps for Windows and macOS, as well as full access via a web browser, with streaming at the highest quality available based on your plan.
• On mobile, the app is available for both iOS and Android, with offline downloads and adjustable streaming quality to manage data usage.
• For wireless listening, it’s compatible with Chromecast, AirPlay, and Bluetooth, allowing you to send audio to wireless speakers and sound systems without leaving the app.
• In the realm of dedicated Hi-Fi equipment, it offers direct integration with audiophile-oriented brands such as Bluesound, NAD, Cambridge Audio, Naim, Auralic, Sonos (on compatible models), and multiroom systems that support native high-resolution streaming.
• In the car, it’s compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, though it’s important to note that the actual playback quality will depend on the vehicle’s audio system and whether it supports high-resolution streaming or downconverts the signal via Bluetooth.
• There are also integrations with compatible TVs and smart TV systems, as well as with some connected amplifiers that incorporate the app directly.

An important caveat here: having the streaming service installed on a device doesn’t automatically guarantee that you’re listening in Hi-Res.

If the final output is a basic Bluetooth speaker or headphones with a limited codec, the signal gets recompressed along the way, and you lose much of the value you’re paying for.

How can you get Qobuz on sale?

The prices for this streaming service on its own aren’t low, but there are several legitimate ways to reduce the cost without sacrificing Hi-Res quality:

1. The first trick—and the simplest—is to switch from monthly to annual billing within the Studio plan: the savings are around 10–15% compared to paying month-to-month, simply by committing to a year.

2. The second is to take advantage of the Duo or Family plans, even if you don’t have a traditional family. Splitting the Family plan among several people reduces the cost per account to a fraction of the Solo plan’s price, and each person maintains their own account, library, and listening history independently.

3. The third is to keep an eye out for promotions the brand launches in partnership with audio equipment manufacturers, such as DACs or compatible multiroom systems from brands like Bluesound, NAD, or Cambridge Audio.

4. The fourth—and the one that makes the biggest difference to your wallet in the long run—is to sign up for your subscription through CuentasGO, since here you get a discounted price with a guaranteed account replacement.

More about Qobuz accounts

Does Qobuz offer better quality than Spotify?

Yes, objectively and measurably. Spotify Premium still streams in lossy formats (AAC or Ogg Vorbis) up to 320 kbps, while Qobuz streams in lossless FLAC starting at its most basic tier, with the option to upgrade to 24-bit/192 kHz. The difference isn’t a matter of subjective perception—it’s a technical format difference.

Does it play lossless FLAC?

Yes, it’s the platform’s default format. Unlike other services that offer FLAC only on higher-tier plans or as an add-on, lossless streaming is the standard across all plans, without exception.

What’s the difference between CD Quality and Hi-Res?

CD Quality is equivalent to 16-bit/44.1 kHz, the same standard as a physical CD. Hi-Res goes beyond that, up to 24-bit/192 kHz, capturing more information from the original recording—especially in terms of dynamic nuances and detail in the high frequencies. The difference between the two is more noticeable in acoustic and classical recordings than in heavily compressed studio productions.

Do I need special headphones to notice the difference?

You don’t need top-of-the-line equipment, but you do need headphones or speakers of reasonable quality and, preferably, an external DAC if you’re listening on a computer or smartphone.

Can I download music to listen to without an internet connection?

Yes, all plans allow you to download albums and playlists to listen to offline within the app itself, while maintaining your selected audio quality. This is different from the permanent purchase of albums in the store, which is available with additional benefits on the Sublime plan.
