The 1mii model that is a combined transmitter / receiver and supports audio bypass is $80, not $23.

I don't think there any Bluetooth device that does all the things someone complained this device is missing for anywhere near the price.
This is the one I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T2L9CTY

It does simultaneous TX + pass thru and you can force the LL codec. The only problem is you have to leave it powered on or it will disable the force LL codec every time it reboots. So I couldn't power it from the switched USB port on the TV.

No simultaneous tx + pass through and not sure if you can force LL codec.

I am in market for a Bluetooth transmitter. In this price range, could you suggest a better alternative.

Most are $40-50... The $80 ones have aptx hd.

Would this work for connecting via 3.5mm audio out jack in the minivan to stream to 2 headphones?

Based on the Q&A section it looks like you can pair up to 5 but only send audio to one device at a time. I need 2 headphones to work at the same time personally so will pass on this.

I'm looking for a device that transmits to many (10) bluetooth headsets.
@xSLIDEx, if you want to keep with Monoprice look at this #38071
monopricedotcom/product?p_id=38071

"I want to make sure I understand: it pairs with two devices. Does this mean my wife and I can listen to the same thing with our bluetooth headphones paired to this device simultaneously?
A shopper on May 20, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Yes, that is what we use it for. We have this device attached to the audio out port of our television in the bedroom. We can both be in bed with our own pair of bluetooth headphones paired to the device and both hear the same television."

I got this one for my projector to connect to my receiver and it works flawlessly. I went through two before this.
