Has anyone else noticed subtle differences in sound mixing across streaming platforms?

Hey, so this might be super niche, but I’ve been watching the same movie on different streaming services (Netflix, Prime, etc.) and noticed slight changes in sound quality, especially with background music and dialogue balance. Has anyone else picked up on this? Could it be the platform's encoding or just my headphones? Curious if anyone else is nerdy about this like me!

That’s actually a really interesting observation! I’ve noticed differences in sound quality too, especially with how dialogue and music are mixed. It could definitely be due to each platform’s encoding process or even how they handle audio settings. Sometimes, the headphones can make a difference too! You're definitely not alone in being nerdy about this—it's cool to dive into the details of how we experience movies!

Definitely noticed a difference in sound quality between streaming platforms! Some are clearer, while others seem a bit muffled. I wonder if it's the platform's encoding or my headphones.
