It seems likely that "more range" also translates to "more robust at existing ranges" (but I have no facts to back that up)

This is what I need. Phone in pocket and Bluetooth headset on neck results in buffer dropouts when I'm mid stride. I have to hold my phone in my hand to get stable playback. And I'm using Bluetooth 4.

I'm imagining a stride which significantly changes transmitter-receiver distance or gets big body parts in the way. The Ministry of Silly Walks has a rival.
