I've used Sony WF-1000XM5 (earbuds) and Sony WH-1000XM3 (over-ear headphones) and both suffer from the same problem. I have to keep the tangara in a banana bag around my chest in order to not have any drop outs. Walking with the player in hand is also OK, but when I put it in my pocket I'll get drop outs. In busy places it's completely unusable from in a backpack or trouser pocket. In the countryside it's a lot better but will still drop out from time to time.
I've opened up the tangara and noticed it uses the built-in antenna of the ESP32. There is a version that can accommodate an external antenna, you can also modify the one used to add an external antenna, but I'm not sure if that would help. I've asked here but nobody seems to have any advice.
