SeekerRazer Kraken Ultimate
The Razer Kraken Ultimate are decent for wired gaming. Since they use a non-detachable USB cable, you won't be able to use them with the Xbox One. However, they're fairly comfortable headphones with cooling gel so your ears won't get too warm, even during long gaming sessions. They also have a good overall performing retractable boom microphone and you can tweak their sound using their companion software's graphic EQ.
