Listening to a melodious song on your TV is a pleasant experience. But, what if other family members are complaining about your morning routine of listening to songs loudly that disturb everyone at your home? You have a simple solution.
Use wireless headphones. Connect those headphones to your TV and enjoy your music. But what if your TV doesn't support Bluetooth? You can't connect your Bluetooth headphones to your TV.
Almost all new TV models support Bluetooth connectivity, but if you have an old model, you need to find a golden mean. Here Bluetooth transmitter comes into the picture.
Choosing the correct device is necessary, or you may end up frustrated. Few checkpoints will help you to choose the correct one.
- Audio codec: Bluetooth audio codec is a technology that encodes and decodes the audio. The transmission of audio and bandwidth decides your listening experience. If your Bluetooth transmitter doesn't support AptX, AptX LL(low latency), and AptX HD, you may face latency issues. Choose a transmitter that can work with these audio codecs
- Bluetooth version: Almost all the latest devices are with the latest Bluetooth version 5.0, but some of them are older version 4.2 which may affect the range and connection stability. Choosing the latest version is a smarter move.
- Choose the audio transmitter that supports the analog and digital audio output.
digital audio output
- USB
- optical audio
Analog output
- RCA
- 3.5mm audio jack
Other points like switch modes (transmitter to receiver and receiver to transmitter modes), bypass, and passthrough mode are equally mattered to look at while buying a Bluetooth audio transmitter.

Avantree Oasis Plus
Our first pick is an example of the best Bluetooth transmitter. It has all the features and quality to make your day delightful. Avantree Oasis Plus supports AptX HD and AptX LL audio codec that transmits audio without decreasing audio quality.
Advanced Bluetooth version 5.0 that can work smoothly up to 164ft (50m). Though notice that this distance is achievable when there are no obstacles like a thick wall. Bluetooth waves are the same as sound waves. Performance in the open field will be different, but the same may not be true in your house.
Avantree Oasis Plus support analog and digital mode which is rare to find.
Avantree Oasis Plus allows you to use two pairs of headphones at the same time. That feature makes it possible to enjoy TV with your partner or friend. I haven't faced audio quality issues while using two pairs of headphones.
It has another useful feature that very few transmitters have. It has a bypass mode and passthrough mode. It can connect to your Bluetooth headphones and your external speaker at the same time.

1Mii B03Pro+
1Mii B03Pro+ is another Bluetooth transmitter in our list that is slightly bigger than Avantree Oasis Plus. It has a solid build with ABS plastic. 1Mii B03Pro+ has All the features you get with Avantree Oasis Plus but, it's slightly ahead of it.
It has a Bluetooth range of 265 feet which is excellent in my point of view. 1Mii can also use as a receiver. It also accepts inputs from 3.5mm auxiliary, RCA, and optical. It has ESS SABRE DAC.
It is a Digital-to-Analog converter that delivers a top-class audio experience that any music lover will love. The only downside of 1Mii B03Pro+ is the lack of pass-through support. I would love to recommend 1Mii B03Pro+. Especially if you are an Audiophile, this is the best-suited device for you.
1Mii B03Pro+
Why Should You have 1Mii B03Pro+
- If you love the top quality audio with DAC (digital to analog converter)
- You want a durable build with a slick design
- if you are looking for a Bluetooth transmitter with a stronger and more stable Bluetooth range
- If You need a digital and audio output
- You want dual benefits in a single device. 1Mii B03Pro+ works as a transmitter and receiver
- built-in volume control
Downside
no pass-through mode
ZIIDOO Bluetooth Transmitter & Receiver
If you don't want to spend much and need a device to perform a necessary task ZIIDOO Bluetooth Transmitter & Receiver is a good choice. It's not as feature-rich as Avantree Oasis Plus and 1Mii B03Pro+ ZIIDOO can do as a transmitter and receiver.
You can connect ZIIDOO to your TV via 3.5 mm. Though it doesn't offer a long Bluetooth range 33ft is more than enough for daily use. you can't get dual output like the other top two transmitters in the list. It only has an analog output.
You might be thinking it will not give a good audio quality but that's not the case. ZIIDOO supports to AptX low latency codec which ensures no latency issue you will face while enjoying a TV.
overall, It's not the best choice for you if you want a feature-rich device. it's for those who want to spend a few dollars to get the basic functions. ZIIDOO does the job quite well with such a cheaper price.

Avantree Orbit is the next pick on our list. You might be thinking why another product with the same brand is included in the list. Let me tell you that it's one step ahead of Avantree Oasis Plus.
I don't say it's perfect in all areas. If it's perfect, it would have been in the number one spot, but it's an impressive device delivered by Avantree. For an extra few dollars, this is a good deal.
It has all the features that Avantree Oasis plus has but, also has some additional features that make this device better than Oasis Plus in some areas. It has mic input support.

Anker Soundsync A3341
Anker isn't a new brand to me. I reviewed some Anker audio devices like Anker soundcore liberty pro 2 and Anker soundcore Bluetooth speaker. But, the Anker sound sync a3341 Bluetooth transmitter is the first Anker transmitter I reviewed last week.
It's a square-shaped device with a size of 2.8" x 2.8". Lightweight and compact size make soundsync a3341 easy to carry anywhere. That's all about its size and weight but what about its features?
Though it's much less price than Avantree it has almost all the features like the Avantree Bluetooth transmitter. Sound sync a3341 has digital and analog audio output, Transmitter and receiver mode, Supports AptX, AptX LL, AptX HD, and, of course, AAC and SBC audio codecs.
The only downside is it is a battery-powered device that needs frequent charging. Power backup is 20 hrs for transmitter mode and 16 Hrs for receiver mode. This battery-operated device has power saving feature.
So, when there is no audio it goes to sleep mode. and, every time it goes to sleep mode you need to on it manually. overall, Anker Soundsync A3341 is a decent, affordable and compact 2 in 1 bluetooth transmitter come receiver.

This type of design is convenient to use in your car too. On the top side, you find an indicator that indicates the audio codec you are using. TROND BT-Duo S supports SBC, AptX, and AptX LL codec.
It has the advanced Bluetooth 5.0 version. The connection remains stable but not so long. 30 feet isn't a great range but it's sufficient to use. though in the house it's even less.
TROND BT-Duo S works as a Transmitter and receiver. You can also use two headphones at the same time with it but you have to sacrifice the AptX LL codec for that.
