SoundCloud: how to listen to music in better quality

SoundCloud has lowered the quality of MP3 streaming to 128 kbps for Opus format packed at 64 kbps. The change did not please all users, especially those who often listen to high-frequency sounds, since in this situation the loss of quality is remarkable. However, there is a simple way to go back to the previous pattern: by installing the Soundcloud Quality Restore extension, which is available for Google Chrome and Firefox browsers. Check out the next step, how to perform the procedure.
