Qobuz: Hermès of Music Streaming
Founded in 2007, the French music streaming service Qobuz cultivates its difference with an offer focused on listening quality and extensive editorial work.
Spotify or Apple Music are the two platforms that dominate the market but let’s not forget that France is fighting back valiantly with Deezer, which is about to go public and claims more than five million subscribers. And there’s also Qobuz, another tricolor streaming service that’s been around for almost 15 years and has thrived in the shadow of the industry giants. The platform, which takes its name from a very special stringed instrument used in shamanic rituals by certain peoples of Central Asia, plays a decidedly high-end score. Qobuz offers source quality music streaming up to Hi-Res 24bit/192kHz. Adding to these listening conditions is rich editorial content consisting of album reviews, biographies and selections that invite the listener to discover and delve deeper into the artists’ work.
