VivoActive 4S and Samsung Buds2 Pro earbuds - Disconnecting

Hi folks,

I have an issue with my Garmin VivoActive 4S and some new Samsung Buds2 Pro earphones, possibly relating to Bluetooth audio codecs.

I paired my new Buds2 Pro's with my Vivoactive 4S for use when I'm jogging, however they keep disconnecting. I get a noise alert what seemed like every 10mins, then 5mins, to alert that they've lost connection to each other.

My old Sony WI-1000X headphones had solid connection, so I think this is possibly an interoperability issue between just these, likely to be Bluetooth versions or audio codecs?

The Buds2 Pro's connect to my Samsung S23 phone showing SSC (Samsung Seamless Codec), perhaps Garmin's software for the VivoActive 4S doesn't support what the Buds2 Pro earphones are requesting? Then either implementing it poorly until one decides to disconnect the other due to signal quality/data throughput rate, or defaulting to the lowest common denominator?

Thanks to anyone who has some hints or tips on how to deal with these issues, or has some answers on these questions.
