So I figured I would ask my favorite group of gamers in the world on thoughts or experience with headsets. I was thinking about getting a headset for my Xbox, as I just experience what it was like using a headset (other than the default headset for talking). I have a Bose set I use with my phone and laptop for travel on airplanes. It's a compact headset and no mic. But I tried it by plugging into my controller and WOW did it sound amazing. I put on my headphones because my wife doesn't want to hear the shooting while she is next to me either reading or watching the TV that is next to my gaming TV.
I have these:
But I don't want to use them on the Xbox as they have no mic. Also, after awhile they hurt behind my ears as they press my glasses against the side of my head.
The other big thing is, I have menieres in my left ear, so I lost about 90% of my hearing in that ear. My right ear is 100% fine. So I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a gaming headset that might let you direct more sound from one ear to the other ear to give you even better surround awareness for issues like I have. I mean with my Bose, OMG, I could hear someone walking up next to me as I was hidden under a bush in Blackout. It happened twice, and it was sick that they got that close...but I was prone, and they didn't see me, and I heard them start to walk away.....but I couldn't tell the direction they were walking most likely due to my left ear.
So I am looking for:

So I am looking for:
- Quality
- Surround control for each side
- Works on Xbox is most important, but if it works on PS4, bonus
- Does not hurt my ears with glasses on after prolonged use
- Wired and wireless, doesn't matter to me
- Price is really no object
