In ear option ideas.

[Shildondurham]

I’m looking at some new wireless buds. Listen to Tidal so want max res available via Bluetooth.

Option 1 Sony XM6 £250
Option 2 technics az100 £190
Option 3 airfun 4 £60
Option 4 Cambridge M100 £90

I use iPhone 15 for wireless buds so also considering the senheiser aptx dongle at £30ish I think?

So should I splash top end? Or go cheaper with the dongle?
Technics v Sony thoughts?
Dongle a must for all considering no aptx on the phone?
Any musings appreciated.
