Has anyone noticed improved Bluetooth on their 6?

I have always had to carry my phone in my shirt pocket in order to stay connected to my Bluetooth earbuds (Jabra Elite 75t now and different models before) and even then, it would break up when I turned my head too far to the right. That was the case with any Bluetooth buds on my 4a5G, 3xl before that and my Pixel 2 before that. With the 6 Pro it is no longer a problem.

So far I am loving the 6 Pro. I've actually only taken one picture of people so far but it did a great job. With two different kinds of light in the background and a third in front of them it got everything right. I was more than a little surprised.

Those Jabra's sound weak in BT distance.

I have walked out of my garage almost to the end of my driveway, wearing my Galaxy Buds+, listening to the Beach Boys with the phone (Pixel 4XL) sitting on the hood of my truck in the garage at that point I was disconnected. Yes, I was in sight of the 4XL, or at least I could see where the phone was on the hood. But that is a fair distance. But about right considering both are BT 5.0, with an open range of about 3200 feet (just over half a mile). I didn't get a half mile, but a fair distance.

It's not just the Jabras. I've had other brands and had the same issue. Sony, Bose and a few others. I think my body is just a Bluetooth black hole.

I've been using the Pixel buds A.. as well as the Samsung buds. Two generations and I'm on the phone on Bluetooth constantly for work and I haven't had any issues and good reception but I don't go far away from the phone while I'm on a call. I've only dropped a couple of times but I think it was more of the phones service area than the actual Bluetooth to earbuds

Google is supposed to fix a bug in the Bluetooth, as for some reason they don't link up to any hearing aids and the December update was supposed to have that fixed

Pixel buds A have at least 60 feet for me doesn't lose quality/no crackling. My issue/gripe is with a Flip4 speaker. Sometimes doesn't auto-connect or when it does it randomly doesn't play music. No sound. Have to disconnect and manually connect in settings for it to play.

That was something I thought this past update fixed and it has gotten better but still not perfect.
