In general, a high bitrate means high-quality audio, provided the sample rate and bit depth are also high. More information, in a very general sense, means better sound quality. Audio CD bitrate is always 1,411 kilobits per second (Kbps). ... High bitrates appeal to audiophiles, but they are not always better.

Is 320kbps better than 128kbps?

The lower the Kbps, the more data the encoder will eliminate when compressing an audio file; the range for bit rates is from 96 to 320 Kbps. 128 Kbps quality is typically considered radio quality, and a bit rate of 160 or higher is equivalent to CD sound quality. ... To maximize sound quality, 320 Kbps is the best choice.

Is 192 kbps good quality?

As a general rule, "hearing music at 192kbps and 320kbps will make a significant difference" seems overblown to me. For most music, the difference will be if you try focusing on single instruments/components in a complex yet transparent whole and the original recording is good enough to make that endeavor successful.
