Part 2. Deezer Web Player Sound Quality Explained
The sound quality of the Deezer Web Player varies depending on your account level. For Deezer Premium members, they will get more sound quality options and higher bitrates for online streaming, while Free users can only play music at the standard bitrate of 128kbps. For more details, see the table below:
| Subscription Plan | Deezer Web Player Audio Quality | Bitrate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Standard | 128kbps | Limited to 30-second previews on PC |
| Premium/Duo/Family | Standard, Better, High Fidelity | 128kbps, 320kbps, 1411kbps (HiFi) | Lossless, CD-quality audio |
To adjust the Deezer Web Player bitrate, click the audio quality settings icon in the bottom right corner of the playback bar and you will see there are 3 options: Standard, Better, and High Fidelity. For Premium members, make sure your internet connection is at least 5 Mbps if you want to utilize high fidelity streaming.
Another tip for getting the highest sound quality from your Deezer Web Player is to use high end speakers or headphones to output audio whenever possible. This is because most common devices (e.g. desktop speakers) are not capable of fully realizing hi-fi lossless audio. Otherwise, Deezer's sound quality won't be much better than that of Spotify's, as confirmed in TechRadar's review.
