So unless you're in an old car with old BT, a lack of bandwidth for audio throughput shouldn't be a thing. Am I missing something?its 320 kb/s in BT audio, not 3 MB/s, which sounds like it should be just fine for compressed audio, but the problem is that its compressing already compressed audio (using a really really shitty codec since it has to work in headphones etc), and it comes out the other end sounding worse. Maybe you care, maybe you dont, but the point is BT is definitely not as good as a direct aux connection.
(Unless of course the germans fucked up the aux connection with noise and such, which wouldnt surprise me.)
There is a new APT-X lossless compression standard in BT, but the hardware on both sides have to support it and neither ios or android support it yet.
