What is the best bluetooth adapter for headphones?
I am looking for ones that don't compromise on sound quality much and are  under 50$.

I need to know this as well.  One using APT-x codec.  One that will work with Win 7 64bit and win 8.1.  Thinking of getting Sennheiser M2 wireless (I know there is a BT issue right now being sorted out).

I think you are looking for Bluetooth transmitters (not receivers), am I right?
 
The Miccus Mini-jack TX4 is a Bluetooth 4.0 audio transmitter with APT-X low latency.

Yes, I'm looking for BT transmitter.  The Miccus minijack product to which you refer looks effective [though requiring charging seems pretty annoying], but I am really looking for a USB adapter that can be used to pair things other than just audio receiving devices (mouse, keyboard, etc).  Many Desktop PC's (including mine) don't have built in bluetooth, and even if they do, they don't have APT-X codec for better audio streaming.

Searching on the APT-X website yields:

I played with the Noble BTS briefly before CanJam SoCal, and that was a pretty cool Bluetooth receiver. I wish I could add input on transmitters, but admittedly, I pretty much use my iPhone 6 Plus for wireless transmitting audio.

Noble BTS is fantastic. I have tried lots of bt headphones - none are truly listenable. The BTS allows you to plug any headphone - although I doubt it will drive big cans. I use it with both Noble K10 and Sennheiser earbuds at the gym, and it's remarkably good.
