is bluetooth's data rate good enough for lossless audio? (flac, pixel 7a, pixel a-series earbuds, graphene, lineage) - eviltoast

the android device I might buy with the audio format I usually listen to.

Some of my flacs are way over 3 mbps (up to 6 mbps). The bluetooth on my desktop supports speeds up to 1 mbps. If the pixel is going to support similar rates, I don’t see how this is going work.

ETA: Im still going to nuke the device and install graphene or lineage on it. Do both foss support higher rates?

    I’ve found it preferable in general to use wired earbuds tbh. I made sure to buy a phone with a 3.5mm jack. Wired buds are cheaper, don’t need recharging, don’t add latency or have dropouts or pairing nuisance, etc. Yeah there are wires but IMHO that beats the alternative.
