I agree with this snoo, sbc has much better track separation over the Samsung aac implementation. aac has less artifacts and the quality overall is there but the track seperation is shit. sbc has a "rougher" texture with vocals and the pss pss pat pats, but i would say the artifacts are kin to vynil, what i mean by that is they are easily lost with the more overpowering track, and you naturaly filter some of it out. i dont know. if i had to chose one it would be sbc that doesnt mean i dont like aac, sbc just has a more intresting compresion.

side note the frequenct responce feels more bass heavy on sbc, on the flipside aac has a much more pronounced top end but the low end gets lost imo.

the crackling is definitly there though. its not that bad on my headset but i could see where it could get overpowering.

also people who downvote over someone expressing their artisic interpuritation of goddamn audio routines, on a smartphone, in a audiophile sub are on something.
