If the pixel 4 best effort is the same as the 3 then soundguys tested it as worse than SBC, so this is not a good thing.
I read that as well, but in testing my ears it was not true. In the Sony app, you can set the headphones to 'Priority on Stable connection" and it changes to SBC and it sounds like garbage.
One thing I just tried last night is Amazon Music HD. Didn't know it existed, but sounds far better than Spotify, especially the Ultra HD songs.
Bitrates and sample rates for the three tiers of Amazon Music HD:
SD — Bitrate: 320 Kbps
HD — Bitrate: average of 850 Kbps; Sample rate: 16-bit/44kHz
Ultra HD — Bitrate: average of 3,730 kbps; Sample rate: up to 24-bit/192kHz
Give it a try with their 30 day free trial. $12.99/month after for Prime members.
