I'm wanting to buy a headset. The only reason I'm looking at one is because I like to listen to music while I play and I don't want it going over my mic annoying people. Ive fought off getting one for a long time because I have a decent surround sound I play with but I can't really use it while I play online with people.

Here is what I'm looking for in the headset in order of priority.

1. Sound as good as possible with music.
2. All in one. I don't want a separate headset and mic. I know I could buy some nice audio headphones and a separate mic but I want it simple.
3. Wireless.
4. Surround sound quality.
5. Price isn't an issue. Bang for the buck isn't part of my deciding factor. I just want the best set I can get.

I've been researching sony gold and astro a50 but I've only seen one review mention music and it leaned toward the sony ones but said the Astros were a good bit better at gaming.

I'm also wondering how it works using an optical for some headsets. I want to be able to still use my HDMI for sound while not using the headset. Does ps4 output sound over hdmi and optical at the same time? do I have to switch back and forth in ps4 settings if I want to switch between avr and headphones?
 
Have you considered the Sennheiser PC 363Ds?

Apparently amazing for music and seems to meet all of your requirements. It was voted the 2nd best PS4 headset on this list.

Not cheap at over $200 but cheaper than the Astro A50s and you said price isn't an issue.
