https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Surround-Gaming-Headset-Playstation-3/dp/B006W41W4Q get that. youll need a talk back cable too but the quality of the mic is perfect and the sound is amazing as well!
I use the XP400 with the Xbox 360, and just ported it over to my xbox one with the adapter that you can buy for 24 bucks.

I tried using the 3.5mm plug instead but didnt get the quality that I wanted. Also can have it bluetooth bound to your phone, and answer calls while gaming.
I personally haven't tried it my self and only going off a friends recommendation but my understanding of the problem is the number of channels available via bluetooth.
You need two channels for stereo audio at 44100/48000 samples per second;
QC35 only has two and so if you want the microphone it changes to
1 bluetooth Channel for = 1 audio channel @ 16 bit 8000 samples per second
and the other is used for the microphone
the turtle has 4 channels or (dual pairing bluetooth)
so two channels for audio and 1 to 2 channels for the microphone so there should be no sacrifice.

That's the turtle one, if you're considering buying based on that recommendation please wait and i'll actually try it for myself and confirm, i've had two friends speak of the quality being decent and they play games on the computer and the sound quality between 8000hz and 44100hz is worlds apart, not even the cheapest pair of bluetooth headphones i've used sound like it.
I'll try record the output at some point and make that available as well.
Also note on the comments for that amazon is information advising against these particular headphones for PC (the turtle ones) and they recommend the others but i'll try and get the information for you as soon as I can.
>Please note the following from the Turtlebeach Support website: "The... XP400, PX5, XP500, Tango, X-Ray, Delta, and Phantom headsets were designed for use with PS3 and Xbox 360 game consoles. It is only possible to use these headsets on a PC or Mac if you have the correct configuration and hardware. We recommend using one of our many PC compatible models instead, such as the PX3 or Z300." I do not have the Bluetooth setup to use on my PC, so half of the function of the headphones is lost to me unless I spend extra money and time figuring it out. IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS FOR PC, GET SOMETHING ELSE FROM TURTLEBEACH.
This part does not make sense though.
> I do not have the Bluetooth setup to use on my PC
As the headphones came with a usb bluetooth adapter that works fine on pc (and works with my qc35)
I haven't yet tried a pair that utilized APTX but that seems to be the way forward regarding audio quality, If i was to get another pair I would look for one that has that feature or this "dual-pairing bluetooth/4 bluetooth channels"
The mic is 20x better you just need to get a cable to connect to the controler and the build quality is alot better.
