Adding one thing - I’d also use a mutual-release line which feels polite but final: I won’t keep you - I’ve got to start dinner, but it was great to see you. You don’t need the future pointer every time; skip it unless you want to schedule something, and end with a warm well-wish instead. If you’re worried about back-and-forth, add a firm closer like I’m heading this way and start physically moving as you finish the sentence.

Hey and I've had something similar happen with my blender before and and it turned out to be a loose part in the base. Try unplugging it and giving the whole thing a gentle shake to see if anything rattles around inside and... if you hear something, it might be worth opening it up carefully, but only if you're comfortable with that and it's not under warranty still. Otherwise, yeah, might be time to reach out to the seller for a swap. Sometimes these noises come from overuse right at the start, so maybe let it rest a bit and test again on a lower setting. Fixed mine that way once.

I would not expect a random clip receiver to magically fix it. Power limits are basically the same across consumer Bluetooth so there is no secret high power mode. What changes is where the antenna sits. If you go the receiver route clip it high on your collar or backpack strap and run a short wire to the ears so your torso is not between the radio and the buds. Otherwise you are just moving the same problem around. The boring fixes are the ones that work. Lower the codec bitrate or use SBC and keep the phone high on the same side as the main ear. Stations are full of access points and hotspots so you are fighting physics. Do the simple stuff first.
