How to Play Tidal over Bluetooth [Full Guide]

Part 1. Premise Statement: Tidal Audio Is Compressed When Listening via Bluetooth

Whether you're unwinding with music or seeking high-definition audio while traveling, Tidal's seamless integration with Bluetooth devices makes it incredibly versatile. However, the experience may be limited when streaming via Bluetooth. When you play Tidal over Bluetooth, it will pop up a message saying "Audio is compressed when listening via Bluetooth" on Tidal.

Bluetooth technology inherently compresses audio during transmission, resulting in potential quality loss. This compression is due to codec limitations such as SBC, AAC, or aptX, which often do not support the full audio resolution provided by Tidal's premium offerings. (Up to 24-bit, 192 kHz for HiRes quality, and up to 16-bit, 44.1 kHz for HiFi quality).

While Tidal's HiFi and HiRes quality features may experience slight compression over standard Bluetooth codecs, the convenience of wireless listening is unmatched.
