I've got Turtle Beach XO, amazing sound quality, removable flexible microphone, free controller adaptor with 2x bass boost settings and volume control. I use it for my phone and PC too.
I got mine on Amazon for £30, they've gone back up to £44, maybe you could find them cheaper elsewhere.

I am currently using the Turtle Beach - Ear Force XO One Amplified Gaming Headset and my game play has improved quite a bit from when I was using a cheap-o headset. The headset was great for the money, I think I got it at a local BestBuy for $40 on a sale. Worth, every penny.
Comes with the adapter for the 3.5mm jack. Adapter has an easy way to adjust game vs voice audio, as well as easily mute. If you ever upgrade, at least you'll still have the adapter.
I've plugged the the headset into my computer and it works great. People always think I have a fancy mic setup.
The mic also detaches so you can use them as normal headphones.

I just got the Turtle Beach XO One headset. It's great, the sound is clear yet deep, it comes with an adapter if you have an older controller, and was only $60 on Amazon.
Also doesn't have to plug into another source besides the controller, my 360 headset always drove me crazy because it had to be plugged into the controller and another USB device.
FYI: You need an adapter for Xbone, which is another $24.99. You're better off buying a better headset with an included adapter like this one
You can find Turtle Beach XO ONE below $50, theyre great and come with a good adapter. They have mic monitoring too.
Theyre at $58.08 rigth now Turtle Beach - Ear Force XO One Amplified Gaming Headset - Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KSVXSZU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bfXWxb943BWBK
I've ordered these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KSVXSZU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00. I know they're at the budget end of the range but they've got decent reviews aren't too much more expensive than just the standard Xbox One headset.
A quick google search points out that they're over the ear aswell. A bit small , but over-the-ear nevertheless.
Small advice , not trying to be rude, but there are a lot of threads about headsets every now and then, so people might just downvote you into oblivion. Try being more specific on your thread title and you might get more answers. Cheers
EDIT: Amazon's description says they're "around-the-ear" , so I guess Over-the-ear is what they mean.
Really wish they had the gun metal available instead of the red, but this is a pretty good deal.
Anyone know if these are worth getting over my current Turtle Beach XOnes?

This one? I don't see anywhere where it says wireless, and the image looks like it is wired?
So I just read this post, and was wondering whether there is a headset with a mic, a standard 3.5mm audio jack and a $40 price range that is truly decent all around.
I was looking at this and it seems decent all around, but does anyone know how it really is? And can anyone make other suggestions?

This is what you need. It also comes with the adapter so you have physical volume controls and a mute button.
thank you. I want to get him a nice gaming headset though with a mic. Not just ear buds.
Like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KSVXSZU/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
Im just afraid they will be too big
I just picked up some wireless ones; the Turtle Beach Earforce XO One's and they're pretty decent.

Don't get the Xbox One Stereo headset, for $20 more get the Turtle Beach XO One
http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Gaming-Headset-xbox/dp/B00KSVXSZU?tag=igndeals14-20
I have this. I managed to get it for a good discount.
The sound quality is fantastic, and it comes with its own adapter. The headset itself is detachable and mostly universal (I often use it with both my computer and smartphone), and while plugged into the controller provides mic-monitoring with almost no delay—you can hear yourself as though you had no headset on.
Also, since the adapter is detachable from the headset, if the headset itself breaks (or you want to upgrade at a later date) you can just buy any new universal headset (such as this, for example) and the adapter should work.
The headset is comfortable for extended periods (within reason—I've had some ear pain after a full day of gaming). I only wish it were over-ear, rather than on-ear. For gaming headsets under $100, I think this is a major contender, and highly recommend it.
[Edit] Almost forgot: if you just need a pair of headphones, you can detach the mic (it plugs into the left ear with a 3.5mm jack), and they work as a really good pair. My only complaint is that the cable is pretty short in this instance, so don't expect to plug it into your computer and walk away. I'm personally used to a 6-foot wire on my re-wired sennheisers, so unless you're spoiled like me, it shouldn't be a problem.

~~Neither of these CoolerMaster headsets seem to have a removable mic.~~
Here are some examples of ones which do:
Search on the amazon page for the gaming headset for "removable" or "detachable" and see if it says the microphone is removable (as the above two examples do show).
The Elite Pro Tactical Audio Adapter is pretty good, I use the first Edition of it.
Maybe you will find it somewhere, it seems to be out of production.
Edit: The first Edition comes with this Headset in a bundle.
I've just purchased Turtle Beach XO One Amplified Stereo Gaming Headset few weeks ago for £42,99, it's lightweight and it includes an Xbox One turtle beach Headset adapter.

Not to be ride but that Payson headset was horrible for me. The absolute best headphones that I've ever had are these. https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU.
I use them for my PS4 and with my Xbox one for everything.

Really? I liked mine a lot, although I have an Astro A40 now.
How about one of these?.....
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Turtle-Beach-Amplified-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU/
It's £7 over your price limit, but it gets decent user reviews on the whole.

Turtle Beach XO Ones are on sale for $52 at Amazon.
I would recommend the XO One headset if you're looking for something new. Comes with its own chat adapter and doesn't require batteries either.
