Bluetooth and lossless playback

Reading article about lossless playback Apple Music. I normally use Sony earbuds with a Bluetooth connection to my ITouch to listen to Apple Music. Will that setup allow me to take advantage of lossless music files? I understand that I might not be able to discern difference anyway but I’m interested in learning more and trying it out. I found the discussion about Bluetooth confusing. Thanks.

Does Apple Bluetooth deliver lossless audio or not? This support webpage (About lossless audio in Apple Music - Apple Support )is confusing, in my opinion. It says: Can I listen to lossless audio over Bluetooth? We will deliver music using lossless audio compression to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Lossless will play back normally on Bluetooth speakers and headphones. However, Bluetooth connections don’t support lossless audio. The support page says "We will deliver music using lossless audio compression to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Lossless will play back normally on Bluetooth speakers and headphones." But then the next sentence seems to directly contradict it: "Bluetooth connections don’t support lossless audio." What am I missing here? Thx

Apple Music Lossless isn't supported on Bluetooth. You'll get lossy audio.
