The problem with dongles is that it is just one more thing that needs to be carried...and can possibly break and it is also an extra expense. Plus, from what I understand, if you use a dongle to connect a pair of wired headphones to an iPhone you can't charge it at the same time. With my Walkman I can charge it and listen to music at the same time.
Concerning connected earbuds, the two sides of my Shokz OpenMove headphones are connected by a flexible metal bar that connects the two sides and holds them against my head when I'm using them. They use bone conduction and they stay in place. Plus, they sound very good.
When it comes to compression using Bluetooth I don't have much of an issue with it. My issue is the way that the sound cuts out at times. Plus, I've noticed when listening to audiobooks it sometimes cuts out parts of words. As an example, I was listening to Chapter Three of an audiobook using my soundbar, but when it played the heading I only heard "...ter Three." Just in case it was an issue with the actual audio file I checked and the full words "Chapter Three" was there.
