It’s a fairly simple piece of tech that is mostly made by OEMs. But really it depends on your use case and what kind of outputs / codecs you need.

If you’re looking for more higher end “audiophile” type stuff, look into the iFi Zen Blue V2. Streams AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX LL, LDAC, HWA codecs over bluetooth 5.0.

Or Audioengine B1

I bought a Soundbot SB360 Bluetooth car kit in 2016 on amazon, and it's still working perfectly well to this day. It worked so well, bought my wife one as well, they both are perfectly fine today even with daily use

I live in Arizona, so it's tested through and through with extreme heat. Not too sure about extreme cold, though.

It is powered via USB, and plugs into a jack, might be perfect for your needs.

I've tried Darn Tough, Farm to Feet, and Cloudline. I found Farm to Feet the most comfortable, although my Cloudline order came with a nice handwritten note, and they were really nice and easy to work with when I had to return a wool base layer I bought from them (a gift, it didn't fit the recipient well).

Plastic parts wear. But metal will damage the asphalt. So….

My shovel is plastic with a metal strip out front. It’s about 6-7 years old and still going strong. Costco. Yes, the plastic will eventually wear thin. But that’s years and years in the future. The plastic isn’t thin and sharp, more rounded and thicker, so it’s durable and not really damaging anything.
