Bluetooth and rain resistant?

Been trying to find a proper solution for outdoor headphone since those crazy smartphone makers removed 3.5mm and all the USB-C to 3.5mm adapters break easily in tight pocket. I've been forced to use a bluetooth adapter for a year, which produces surprisingly bad and muddy sound compared to direct 3.5mm or USB-C to 3.5mm (with same the Sennheiser M2 headphone), while better ones appear to be much larger and impossible to carry.

I'm aware there are good over-ear bluetooth types but they're useless to me without some resistance from rain that simple wired headphones offered. The rest are in-ear sporty type not on the same level of audio quality.

Have anyone spotted some good solution? I still keep an old phone with 3.5mm but it won't last forever...

All right, figured even $300 in-ear and earbuds are garbage compared to over-ears. It should be better if I just buy a proper bluetooth receiver like Earstudio HUD100
