A cheap headphone adapter that will let me use bluetooth headphones on an old turntable that only has a 3.5mm output? [SOLVED]

So bought a portable turntable with bluetooth built as a gift and some bluetooth headphones to go with it. But the bluetooth in the turntable is only for using the turntable as a bluetooth speaker (to connect your phone to it), it's not for connecting your bluetooth headphones.

So is there a cheap little device that I can plug into the headphone jack of the turntable and then sync the bluetooth headphones to that little device? I guess the adaptor would have to have it's own batter and some kind of interface to select the headphones, so maybe it's not even possible.

  It looks like that device can only receive bluetooth audio from your phone or computer, it doesn't actually transmit audio from the headphone jack to bluetooth headphones.

      Oh yeah that one says it can do it, cheers. It says transmitter is Bluetooth 2.1 only, but for a cheap record player that probably doesn't even matter.

      @AustriaBargain:
      
      Not the cheapest but I know this one works because I just set it up for my dad (not from that seller though):

      That looks pretty cool. I see that there's the same model (some without "mpow" written on it) for like $25 too. Maybe this smaller adapter would be more appreciated than the bigger $15 one.
      
      After much careful consideration, I ordered that mpow one for $25.07 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mpow-2-in-1-Bluetooth-3-5mm-Ster…

so the bluetooth in the turntable is actually just a receiver, not a transmitter?

  Seems that way, unfortunately. https://www.bigw.com.au/product/laser-encore-major-retro-3-s…

    maybe u can find a bluetooth transmitter and then connect the speaker output from turntable to said transmitter.
