I'm aware of that, but Apple has some 192 kHz music in their catalogue.

Since this is a headphone clearly intended to be used with Apple Music, I was still wondering why they chose to "just" go with 48 kHz.

Like... was there a technical reason?

I don't think so, no.

But since 24-bit/192 kHz music is already available in the Apple Music catalogue, I was wondering why they wouldn't just embrace it.

I feel like this should have been 24-bit at 192 kHz. I'm wondering why they couldn't do that, especially since Apple Music supports it and they're talking about a wired connection.

Although they write:

> "with the included USB-C cable".

Does that mean a third-party cable could handle more, or is there some other limitation? The wording seems a bit odd, no?
