Best TV bluetooth transmitter via 3.5 mm jack (alien.top)

Anyone have any suggestions for the best bluetooth transmitter for plugging into a TV's 3.5 mm headphone jack? Something that is relatively inexpensive but a good brand?

Tried ordering a Mii brand one from Amazon for like $20 or $30 but it was an absolute lemon and didn't even work and wouldn't connect to the headphones.

Suggestions? Thanks

I use the sonru bluetooth 5.2 transmitter with my TV and it's excellent, sound is fantastic, no drop outs and easily connect two pairs of headphones. Best £20 I've spent

What kind of headphones do you use, and/or what codecs do they support?

I have Aptx low latency headphones I use primarily for TV, and use this monoprice and an old MPOW with AptX low latency (this one I think) and find they both work well. I found the low latency support was important for me on headphones and transmitter at the time, otherwise audio sync was too far off. Also supports AptX HD and AAC for higher quality when primarily listening, and ability to use optical in and bypass my TVs headphone jack was a nice feature on the Monoprice.

Avantree is another good brand I've used in the past. Mostly would recommend you find something with the codecs and inputs that are important to you.
