... you'll not need only new phone, but new wireless headphones that have new DAC in them capable decoding the proprietary format.
Yet wired ones work with all these fancy high bit rates "out of the box"

I tried your solution, but when I got up from my computer my headphones inexplicably were janked off my head. I find your solution unworkable and look forward to someone developing an alternative.
I tried your solution, but every half hour or so the connection between my headphones and my phone would be inexplicably lost, and it'd take 10 minutes to get it back. Also my phone would insist on playing incoming ringtones via the headphones at +30 dB compared to my music, blowing out my eardrums. And after a few hours my headphones would stop working and need to be recharged.
I'd rather deal with wires than with wireless earbuds.
I was being facetious, but really if you have dropout issues you should get that fixed. The only time my headset ever drops out is if I walk to the other side of the apartment and even then it takes only seconds to come back. Maybe your bluetooth stack in your OS is screwed? Maybe your headphones are made of chinesium? Either way your experience is not reflective of most of what has been available on the market for years already.
Also why would your ringer play louder than your music? The Bluetooth remote profiles on Android adjust the master volume on my phone, not just the media volume. And my headphones easily last an entire transatlantic flight and when I got to the hotel I got a 40% remaining notice when I turned them on.
I strongly suspect you've bought shit and decided that's reflective of the technology itself. Don't do that.

You do you. Though I don't know why you are "dealing" with wireless at all. I don't "deal" with it. I suspect you're doing something wrong.
