Please explain the headphone situation for me

This is correct. Using the Xbox One Stereo Adapter (support.xbox.com/.../stereo-headset-adapter), you can use any of the following types of headsets:

◦A single 3.5-mm audio cable headset.

◦A dual 3.5-mm audio cable headset with 3.5-mm CTIA audio cables.

◦A headset with chat audio provided by a 3.5-mm audio cable and game audio provided by a separate cable with RCA or optical connectors. (Only chat audio will be enabled through the Stereo Headset Adapter. For RCA/optical connectors [game audio], follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to connect to the console.)

◦An Xbox 360 Wired Headset with a 2.5-mm audio cable. Connect to the Stereo Headset Adapter by using the 2.5-mm-to-3.5mm adapter that’s included with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.

As far as suggestions, that is a little harder for me to do. I am a huge gamer on console and PC and I strongly recommend Steelseries headsets, however, if you are an audiophile or use them for more multimedia related things, someone may be able to suggest
a better headset/headphones.

Hi PsychoGoldFishi,

See the link below for the adapter. I did a search on Amazon for "Xbox One 2.5 to 3.5 adapter". I cannot guarantee this works as I haven't used it, however if you do a similar search with Xbox, you should be presented with a few options. If you have questions
about the adapters I would reach out to the vendor to make sure they're compatible with the Xbox One. Radio Shack, Frys, and Best Buy would be good local places for this.

If you do not have the RCA out, the only way this would work is if the Headset uses the Optical Out of the ONE

•Some third-party products come with a stereo headset adapter that may look different from the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter made by Microsoft, but they all function the same way.

•You can only connect an Xbox 360 Chat Headset using the stereo headset adapter with a 2.5-mm to 3.5-mm converter, which comes with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. The Xbox One Stereo Headset does not include this adapter cable.

Apparently you can but you need extra equipment.

Pulled this from a website that mentions the Microphone you said you have:

Yes, it's possible! You just have to buy an xbox stereo adapter, an splitter 3.5 mm cable and a 3.5 mm cable! You plug the stereo adapter on your xbox controler, the 3.5 mm splitter cable on the stereo adapter, after, you plug the 3.5 normal cable
on the mic port of the splitter cable. Finally, you plug the 3.5 mm normal cable on your Blue yeti or your blue snowball. But, don't forget to plug the usb cable(of the mic) on your xbox!
