I am looking to use my Grado SR325e with both my mac mini, Evo150 and iphone via bluetooth as i will mostly be in another room from the evo and mac. Any recommendations gratefully accepted

The Apple AirPod Max 2 via USB-C wired connection is pretty awesome.

I think most people would say these though:

And £100 cheaper.

I not needing headphones, just a bluetooth dongle to allow me to connect my Grados- I have airpod pros for other use

I have this one and it’s really good:

Or there is the Wiim Mini, depending on what kind of connection you want:

What you need is a portable Bluetooth receiver.
There is a (dated) list on my website: https://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/HW/BluetoothPortable.htm
Spec wise this one looks rather impressive: https://en.shanling.com/product/471

Surely you just get a connection in the other room and it’s cheaper?

The Grado is a wired headphone. If you want to use it wireless, a portable Bluetooth receiver is the answer.

The Shanling not only has excellent specs (amp & DAC), it is battery powered.
The Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Audio Receiver is AC powered so not suit for portable use.

Edit:
But I must admit I do assume a mobile solution.
If this is not the case, a stationary box with Airplay or Bluetooth and a headphone out is a good solution.

Correct with the mobile solution as I do work from a couple of different rooms from the source so a deskbased/stationary is not an option.
Trying a fiio one out which should be with me in a few days so fingers crossed
