Have you tried Sony WF-1000XM4? I currently have them and have had 0 issues with them so far. Bluetooth connectivity is great and i regularly switch them between a linux laptop (used for meetings, slight media) and android phone (calls, music).

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely look into them.

+1 for the Sony XMs, doubly so if you're on a Linux machine. These things "just work" as well as the Bluetooth adapter you have on the other side. Connection is easier than literally any other Bluetooth peripherals I've used.

How's the mic on those? I have the WH-XM3s and boy do they suck. I've never managed to get good audio from their mic, be it on Linux, macOS, or iOS.

I bought them for listening to music, so I don't really mind, and for this they are absolutely great, even on Linux.

Never had any issues with them and didn't have to jump through any hoops.

Wouldn't know, I literally never use it. Got a Shure SM57 I use for remote meetings.
