Amber Alert! (Gaming)

I'm hijacking your thread bit in case somebody happens to have made some kind of chat headset which is anything like what I want.If someone knows of such a thing, let me know. My desires are the following, in order of importance:

1. Does not cover both ears so I can hear the speakers around my room and I don't get cauliflower ear.
2. Does not cover even one ear too much; just put a speaker near my ear so I can hear people talking and we're all set, thanks.
3. Good noise cancellation so I can stop driving people insane with my always-too-loud-at-any-volume-aparently sound system (this seems less a problem on XBONE?)
4. Wireless
5. somehow functional on XBONE and PS4

I feel like this should be fairly reasonable wishes, yet…
