So I just started flying a lot again (I only use headphones in the air these days), I picked up a set of awesome Sony MDR-1AM2-B to replace my wireless Sony 1000XM2 that I've grown tired of wearing and to my surprise they included a Balanced cable so I thought it would be fun to pick up a Walkman.

I ended up buying a NW-ZX507 that was supposed to be new , it turned out to be quite used so I'm going to return it, with a second chance I want to do some more research as it turns out I can't use it to play audio from my Mac laptop.
In the air I do a mix of listening to music and watching movies so I would love to be able to use the walkman for movies on the laptop Ideally over Bluetooth even if it's a lower quality transmission to keep the walkman in my pocket or bag instead of trying to share space with the laptop but wired via usb-c would work too.
Do I need to go back to the nw-zx300 generation for this feature? I believe it's capable but I'm worried about batteries that old.
Any other suggestions?
If this has been reviewed my apologies, I'm having a hard time figuring this out via search.
The models well over $1,000 are out of my price range for this use case.
