None of Apple's AirPods or HomePods support lossless audio

Posted: 18 May 2021 05:58 AM PDT

Yesterday Apple Music announced that it will enable lossless audio streaming for all of its subscribers at no extra cost starting in June. But as it turns out, Apple doesn't actually sell headphones or speakers that can play that lossless audio.

The AirPods Max do have the option of plugging in with a cable using a 3.5mm adapter, but that doesn't work either. As the company explains, this introduces an analog step, which is followed by...
