Hi, I'm new here. My budget range is something that's less than $100US on Amazon preferably (less is better). Can anyone offer any advice on the following 3 I have my eyes on?

$52.99 : The "INFURTURE H1" due to the low latency feature. Not sure how much of an issue the low latency thing is honestly.

$59.99 : "Soundcore Anker Life Q20"

$44.99 : "OneOdio Studio Wireless (Y80B)"

Basically, my wants in it would be wireless and over-the-ear.. and if possible, something that has decent quality for music listening as well (somewhat decent bass). I came across the term "aptx" in my research.. can I buy a tv transmitter with this feature for any headphone and it will not have audio sync issues?

Apologies if this post if formatted horribly, I'm still learning how to use this forum properly. Thanks in advance if anyone takes the time to help me make a choice. Ps, I don't have the tv yet but it may be the Omni Series 43" Fire TV.

Another route to consider, and may be more economical in the long run, you could get yourself a Bluetooth dongle amp/receiver and plug in whatever headphones you have/want. Here is a basic/solid suggestion: FiiO BTR3K

This may be worth considering for your price point because while wireless headphones have gotten very cheap, they still have to do multiple jobs in one package. They are a headphone, battery, and wireless amp/receiver all in one package. That is convenient, but to make that cheap, you typically have to sacrifice on many of those fronts. However, if you put that same wireless headphone budget to just a wired headphone, you would have vastly improved audio quality because it is just doing one thing - being a headphone.

Similar goes for the FIIO BTR3K. It is doing only two jobs for you. Being a battery and handling all the wireless audio. Less to break, less to go wrong, and more options for you to plug in your favorite headphones without settling for Amazon's cheapest. Treat yo self.
