Any USB-C dongle has a DAC in it, so I would imagine the cheap one you get with the phone isn't going to be great.
Cheap BT is also a bit of a crap-shoot so it's not definitively the phone based on the info you've provided

Fiio do USB DACs for not much money which I imagine would be an improvement.
More expensive bt headphones tend to have more codecs with better sound.

Is USB c just terrible for sound or do I have a bad phone? P20 Pro which generally is great, did try a Sony xz premium 1 and 2 but absolutely hated the shape of them. Had normal headphone Jack's though.
Mostly use in ear Sony jobs of 4 year vintage that were good at the time.
USB c you end up using an adapter and feel like what comes out of it is pretty poor (compared to old sony z series which had good output), trued a few peoples BT can and in ear jobs (non of real quality prob 30-50£ value and they all sound even worse, like honestly sounds like someone describing the sound to me through a toilet roll tube.
Or is there a USB c dac that would help sort it out?
Worst case scenario I just keep using my old phone for music.
