Bought arctics gamebuds specifically because of this, they have a dongle to hook into your Xbox or PC. I use them at work now too and just move the dongle between work PC and Xbox. They’re great.
Bluetooth is atrocious. It's not just delay of 80ms or so, it's the weird distortion in apps like Bigscreen. It sounds like slow motion audio underwater lol. I tried about 5 sets of buds and headphones/headsets. I don't think the Quest 3 has low latency support like my phone does.
What did work for me was a pair of SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds that I sometimes use with my PC. It has a USB C wifi dongle. That works perfectly, so that's what I use.
I suspect anything that has a 2.4ghz wifi dongle the Q3 recognizes instead of Bluetooth will work.
Can't charge the headset while I'm using them.
I have these and they work well for me.

They have no lag when using 2.4Ghz, the connection has never dropped on me, even when I go into other rooms it stays connected and they sound decent to me.
AMC works decent and the charge lasts long enough.
I just bought these in the BF sales.. half price. Epic buds to be honest.. I'm using them with my phone and also with the Claw 8AI+. Also using them with my Simracing Rig with VR as my Steelseries Arctis Nova pro wireless headphones are too bulky with the VR headset on
They use a higher quality when using the usb-c dongle, but the quality is on the lower end. The Sony Inzone, Jlab Epic Lab, and AKG N5 Hybrid all have a better mic with Jlab and AKG being the best. But the Gamer Buds mic is still better than most Bluetooth mics. I'd say it's close to like a airpods Pro quality. The advantage the gamer buds have is the 12 to 9 hour battery life per charge, wireless charging, physical buttons make controls easy to use, and it's just a couple click to swap between two devices on USB/Bluetooth. They have a fully custom EQ which is also nice and sidetone to help with hearing your own voice and ambient sound. But yeah I've gotten a few complaints with this mic I'm discord with my friends every once in a while. I don't know if I have a bad set or if my settings are affecting it, but they don't ever complain about my other buds. I've almost sold mine a few times but I've kept them around. They have one of the smallest lowest profile dongles that is also case friendly for phones and tablets and handhelds which I love. So yeah, probably the best overall value for a true gaming earbud.
Edit: I will say if you buy these, try and get the Xbox version, they also work on Playstation. It works on everything. The Playstation version works on everything, except Xbox.
My favorite higher end for sound quality, build quality, ANC/transparency, features, and mic quality? AKG N5 Hybrid.
My favorite mid-range all around? Probably Steelseries Gamer Buds Artic X.
Another good all-around are the Jlab Epic Lab. Let me know if you want them, I'm trying to sell them and I can post them on hardware swap.
Best deal? Sony Inzone buds. I think you can still find these used for under $60, sometimes under $50. I wouldn't spend a full $200 price for brand new though.
Best budget? Anker P10. New they are around $60, used they are around $30.

Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.
