for $150, i'd consider a few decent models from the likes of edifier, baseus, soundcore, etc. then maybe get one of those "gaming" headphone stands with usb ports to facilitate charging?
>I've not experienced any on my devices. Maybe I'm just undiscerning
I'll second this... I've a Samsung Q80C (2024) TV, to which I Bluetooth with Sony 1000XM3s (for after-SWMBO's bedtime).
No issues of lag - no tweaking by me - it just works. Don't do any live TV anymore, but YouTubes & LAN playback all work just fine.
So until you prove your TV's got a problem with BT - don't give up the search.
Inexpensive BT phones that self-charge on a rack is a tiny niche - I don't know of any. I suspect that with headphones now going 15+ hours on internal battery - you may have to accept a couple of USB-C charges per week.
If you like earpods - then you can just drop them back in their case (which stays plugged in) to recharge.
I've just (yesterday) picked up some Sony WF-1000XM5's that do this - but at double your price limit. I believe you can get similar devices for much less - just with inferior NC - which you probably don't care about..
So ... I tried my BT headset, BT earplugs and BT ear-muffs with the TV at the weekend. They all had no obvious issues with syncing between audio and video. At least no worse than watching via TV speakers or soundbar.
