EVS was designed from the ground up to work with packet-switched services such as VoLTE (Voice over LTE). Fraunhofer calls it Full-HD Voice. The EVS codec allows bit rates ranging from 5.9 Kbit/s to 128 Kbit/s, which allows phone service providers to optimize their networks as needed.
The lower the bit rate, the more information the encoder will discard when compressing the file. Bit rates range from 96 to 320 kilobytes per second (Kbps). Using a bit rate of 128 Kbps usually results in a sound quality equivalent to what you'd hear on the radio. Many music sites and blogs urge people to use a bit rate of 160 Kbps or higher if they want the MP3 file to have the same sound quality as a CD.
