I think with the newer versions of Bluetooth, you can get pretty decent sound as long as there is a decent DAC chip and decent power source.

You're suggesting an external Bluetooth adapter?

If you want hifi audio, you can go with IEMs and these Shure Bluetooth adapter. https://a.co/d/02KeT5Z7. They are pretty solid, but it sucks when the battery runs out. I didn't use them with, and now mine doesn't hold much of a charge. I however mostly use the Anker Aerofit. They are good enough for casual listening if you have to quickly pick up phone calls for meetings.

It's a bit more expensive here, but they are the only non generic brand that has Bluetooth 6.0. Buffalo the local major tech company only has up to 5.3-4. I didn't see an Anker 6.0 version on Amazon, but I mostly use their chargers. They never break or overheat.
