Qobuz has introduced a new plan designed to cater specifically to students. Starting October 1, 2024, the new “Studio Student” subscription will allow enrolled students between the ages of 18 and 25 to enjoy the full range of Qobuz's offerings at a significant discount. The new plan offers a 60% savings compared to the standard subscription, priced at $4.99 per month. This move aims to make high-fidelity music more accessible to younger generations who seek both quality and affordability in their streaming services.

This discounted plan opens the door to Qobuz's extensive library of more than 100 million songs, all available in lossless formats. The platform provides an array of sound quality options, ranging from CD-quality FLAC 16-bit/44.1 kHz to high-resolution audio at 24-bit/192 kHz, appealing to those who prioritize an authentic listening experience.

This new offer is particularly suited for students who are passionate about music and want access to top-notch audio quality. With genres spanning from rock, hip-hop, and electronic to jazz, classical, funk, and world music, Qobuz aims to serve music lovers of all tastes. The platform’s focus on uncompressed, high-resolution sound is designed to meet the expectations of audiophiles and students alike, offering an experience that emphasizes clarity and detail.

In addition to its extensive music catalog, Qobuz offers curated editorial content through its built-in Qobuz Magazine. This feature allows subscribers to dive deeper into the world of music, with expert commentary, artist interviews, and album reviews.

The magazine also highlights new releases and includes hand-picked playlists, giving users a personalized touch reminiscent of visiting a record store. For students who are just beginning to explore new genres or expand their musical horizons, this curated content offers a way to engage more deeply with the music they love.

The Studio Student plan comes with several benefits designed to attract students who may not have previously been able to afford high-quality music streaming services. One of the key advantages is the one-month free trial, allowing users to explore Qobuz’s offerings before making a financial commitment. Students also benefit from the flexibility to cancel or change their subscription at any time, ensuring they have control over their listening experience.

For $4.99 a month, students gain access to Qobuz’s entire catalog of over 100 million tracks. Additionally, the platform offers an easy and free way to import playlists from other streaming services using the Soundiiz feature, making it simple for new users to switch without losing their curated music collections. The human-curated playlists and featured releases give subscribers a more personal experience, aiming to create a connection between users and the music they enjoy.

"We get tons of requests from students who are looking for a discounted offer, and we are finally able to offer one. Our best-in-class music streaming service appeals to dedicated music listeners of all ages, and the new Student Studio plan makes it even more accessible to a wider range of consumers," says Dan Mackta, Managing Director of North America and Northern Europe.

Students interested in the Studio Student plan can begin signing up on October 1, 2024, by visiting the Qobuz website. After creating an account, they will need to verify their student status through a straightforward process. The plan will be available for a maximum of two years, giving students plenty of time to enjoy high-quality music streaming at a reduced price during their studies.

The offer is available exclusively through the Qobuz website and includes the 30-day free trial, allowing potential subscribers to experience the difference in audio quality before committing. For more information, students can visit Qobuz’s dedicated webpage for the Studio Student plan.
