Hardware Bluetooth adapter for headset

[smoere]

Hi I am looking for a bluetooth adapter to connect my Sony WH-1000XM3.

I found the Gulikit Route Air that has a super slim shape. This looks ideal but the specs say it only does Bluetooth 3 (http://www.gulikit.com/article_read_215.html)
Then there is the ZIOCOM adapter that does bluetooth 5 but the shape is not ideal. (https://www.amazon.com/ZIOCOM-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Compatible-Headphones/dp/B07SHG81SF)

Any idea if the Gulikit does the job or what the difference might be in the end?

I'm using the Gulikit Route Air. They're alright and I haven't had major connectivity issues except with first gen AirPods. The AirPods frequently stutter and occasionally one of them just drops out completely but I think this is a problem caused by the AirPods and not the Gulikit because no other headset I've tested exhibit this behaviour.

Using the Skull candy Hesh 3, I'm getting just below 200ms latency with excellent audio quality. It's good for games that don't require accurate audio timing like Zelda (the latency didn't stop me from parrying Guardian beams) but for music games like Taiko no Tatsujin they're unsuitable.

I haven't tested any dedicated AptX or LL headsets so I can't comment on how they perform.

Thanks NekoMichi.
I have received the Gulikits in the meantime and they work fine with my Sony headset, although i havent really used headset for playing since then.
The Sony do support APTX & APTX HD but not LL.

I have to check for delay. Curious to see how this will turn out.
