I use Audeze Maxwell (the 1st edition), I don't think it's sold anymore new but there is a 2nd edition (which i never tried).
Strictly speaking I would not recommend it, unless you don't use a mic very often - in which case it's awesome.
The sound quality is great (although I'm no audiophile). It works fine on both Linux and Windows. The chat control is part of the headset, not the software. Comes with a 2.4ghz dongle but can connect via Bluetooth too. You can also use them wired with a usb cable while charging. Battery lasts something like 60 hours and charges in about 30 mins (as above, you can use it while charging). It's rather comfortable, although I've replaced the ear pads.
I've mentioned the mic is the downside, the actual issue with it is that if you turn on sidetone it'll have static crackling noises. It's been a known issue for long and never got any fix for it. The mic can be removed or sidetone can be disabled, but since it's a closed back you might start shouting involuntarily. If you don't often use a mic, it's a great headset.
