So last summer I fell down an audiophile rabbit hole and bought a whole bunch of headphones, including a few I thought would be good for the new consoles. I'm using Audio Technica ATH-G1's, which are light, inoffensive, and wired. Pretty much everything I need in a console headset.
The better thing to do is buy a decent set of headphones and attach a microphone. Gaming headsets are notoriously scrutinized for not sounding as good as they should at their price points. I took my M70x's and attached an ATG-M2 detachable mic. Much better sounding than my dedicated headset, but the wires drove me nuts, so I went back to the ATH-G1.
I can absolutely tell you not to get the ASUS ROG Theta. I lost my mind at Microcenter a few months ago and bought them. As I was checking out, the cashier convinced me to buy the insurance plan on them and I'm very glad I did. Those things are an absolute waste of 300 bucks. They don't sound good at all, they weigh about as much as the sun, and you have to install ASUS's bullshit software in order to configure them. There is absolutely no point in anyone spending that kind of money on that kind of thing. I ended up taking them back.
