Qobuz for two months free of charge
Streaming has become an integral part of our daily lives. With just a few clicks, we can access millions of tracks, discover new artists and create playlists for every possible occasion. But the way we listen to music also helps determine how music and musicians are supported.
That’s why, at Ha Concerts, we set out some time ago to look for alternatives to Spotify. In our article ‘Streaming platforms ✨ What's up with Spotify?’ we examined how different streaming services treat music, artists and listeners.
Now we’re taking the next step: Ha Concerts is entering into a partnership with Qobuz.
Music as it was meant to be
Qobuz has deliberately chosen a different approach to music streaming. The service places a strong emphasis on sound quality and offers its catalogue in lossless CD quality and Hi-Res, up to 24-bit/192 kHz where available. The catalogue now comprises over 100 million tracks.
You can really hear the difference, especially when listening through good headphones, speakers or a hi-fi system. Music doesn’t simply become background noise, but regains its depth and detail.
For music lovers who enjoy listening properly, that’s a significant difference.
Not just listening, but discovering too
Qobuz also aims to be more than just an endless library of tracks. As well as music, it features extensive editorial content, including interviews, album reviews, biographies, background articles and other stories about artists and music. Qobuz Magazine now features countless articles, alongside playlists and other editorial selections.
And that ties in perfectly with how we at Ha Concerts view music: a track never stands entirely on its own. Behind every album there is an artist, a story, a context and a whole world to discover.
A streaming service that aims to provide more support for creators
The way in which streaming revenue is distributed also plays a role. Qobuz presents itself as a platform that aims to offer artists and rights holders fairer remuneration. In March 2025, Qobuz announced that an independent audit had confirmed its average payout to labels and publishers for 2024 at $0.01873 per stream. That amount does not go directly to the artist, but is distributed further via labels and publishers in accordance with contractual agreements.
Of course, this does not suddenly make streaming a fully sustainable revenue model for musicians. But it does show that there are different ways of looking at streaming and the value of music.
You don’t have to leave your playlists behind
Incidentally, switching to a different streaming service doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll lose the music collection you’ve built up over the years.
Services such as Soundiiz allow you to transfer playlists, favourite tracks, albums and artists from one streaming service to another. Qobuz itself recommends Soundiiz as a way to migrate your existing playlists.
In other words: you don’t have to start from scratch.
