Bluetooth adapter for iPod Nano 4th Gen and Beats Solo3

I'd like to be able to listen to my 4th generation iPod Nano with my Beats Solo3 wireless headphones. I've tried researching bluetooth adapters to transmit music from my Nano to my Beats, but I'm 1. not sure if the adapter/transmitter should be for the 3.5mm headphone jack or the 30-pin charger port or 2. not sure if a pairing like this is even possible. Some of the adapters I've seen also mention they only work for certain bluetooth versions (5.0-5.4?), and I'm not sure how that relates to my 4th gen Nano or Solo3 Beats. I have music on my old Nano that I lost during a computer migration years ago, and really want to be able to listen to it again.

Either, would work, but I{m pretty sure the 3.5mm adapter will be easier to find than a 30 pin one.

Yes. It should be possible.

It doesn't relate to the iPod at all. Your iPod nano does not care about bluetooth since it has none. The version will limit what devices you can connect to the BT adapter. There should no issue with beats headphones in this case if they are recent enough they should support at the very least Bluetooth 5.0.

Something like the following should work:
