Bluetooth Dual Pairing Earbuds or Neckband

[SVK]

I have to work on 2 Laptops (provided by employer and client), and attend MS Teams calls on both.
I had JBL earbuds bought 2 years back. They were good until one side earbud stopped working. Other earbud works but only for 1 hour.
I have another Boat Rockerz neckband bought 3-4 years back which works very fine and battery last for full day.

My problem is Boat neckband can connect only 1 Laptop at one time. I found there are dual pairing bluetooth earbuds and neckband, but I have few doubts.

• Is Bluetooth 5.4 support necessary for dual pairing?
• Do all earbuds face issue of one earbud stop working after few days/months, so is it better to go for neckband?
• My budget is around Rs 1500, so any suggestion in this price range?

I found realme Buds Wireless 3 Neo on Amazon, but some negative reviews suggest bud size is bigger so cannot wear for longer duration.

You might as well get a earphone and switch devices with that type c or 3.5mm

and TWS don't last very long ,my sister's AirPods 2 died after 2 years of use (wasnt dead but like 15min battery,also left pair did die very quickly within 1 min) and later she got AirPods 3, but now that gives like 2 hours of battery

also i personally use OnePlus Nord buds 1st gen which i bought in 2022 and it still has 3-4 hours of battery life while almost being 3 years old now

I occasionally use 3.5 based headphone on another laptop. But its long wire creates mess on table and most of the time wire is tangled

@SVK then i guess getting a dual pairing tws makes sense
