Tidal, a renowned music streaming service, has introduced an exciting high-resolution audio streaming opportunity that matches Apple Music's pricing. At a monthly cost of $10.99/£10.99/AU$12.99, users can now enjoy easy access to Tidal's HiFi Plus, a combination of its lossless audio tier with high-resolution audio. This effectively makes top-ranked music streaming more affordable.
People who possess the best headphones or earbuds, such as the Sony WH-1000XM5, can derive amazing benefits from this offer. Tidal's extensive music library exceeding 110 million tracks are streamed at lossless quality, supporting high-resolution FLAC. Compatible earphone users can moreover dive into the 360 Reality Audio format by Sony and engage with Dolby Atmos.
The significance of Tidal's innovative move lies in its exclusivity. Predating Spotify and Apple Music in hi-res audio streaming, the platform initially charged a premium price. But with their smart decision to drop prices and bundle services, Tidal has not only expanded its appeal but arguably outshines its competitors.
Spotify increased the pricing of its Premium service by one dollar more than Tidal's new tier, without introducing any lossless or hi-res audio options. The only control users have is to choose the tracks they want to stream or download in "very high" quality. Apple Music's offerings lag behind Tidal due to its comparatively smaller library.
Now there's every reason for a Spotify Premium user to reconsider their choice. Tidal raises the bar high with a curated listening experience that likely eclipses Spotify. It provides offline listening, multiple exclusive audio options that include radio, music, and podcasts, more so with spatial/surround audio compatibility.
A switch to Tidal seems unavoidable given you get all these benefits at a lower price than Spotify. The journey of familiarizing oneself with a new user interface, switching playlists, and checking podcast availability in Tidal might seem tedious. But with a free trial for Tidal readily available to everyone, the ride is set to become smoother.
