8.4.17 seems to be the problem. At first I thought about the headphones, but after connecting other audio devices and using other music apps as well it was an evident Spotify issue.

The problem was the "automatic quality" selection. Solved the issue by changing it to "extreme quality". Tested with both WiFi and 4G so it can't be connectivity performance. It's definitely that "awful normal quality" streaming option.

Spotify version 8.4.18.743 (updated)

Yes, only Bluetooth audio is compromised.
And yes, as I've said, I did a clean reinstallation.
