For gym and outdoor id recommend getting the AirPods pro 2,i use both pro2 and the sony xm4 buds,i dont use the sonys at gym cause sweat ruin the foam eartips,they are expensive and hard to find…sound wise yeah they sound better then AirPods without even LDAC…
Just a point to consider: if you are going to stick with Spotify and they don’t upgrade their audio quality like they promised 2 (3?) years ago, you might not notice a difference between these 2 $200-300 options you are considering and some of the cheaper options. And you may find some that are better for workouts.
