Hmm, yeah, I don't think there's going to be anything you can do to convert a wireless USB headset to mono, short of being an electronics genius, physically taking it apart, and rewiring it.
It's a shame that the PS4 doesn't have an accessiblity setting for mono, and they're the only console that doesn't.
I just submitted a suggestion to https://share.blog.us.playstation.com/, but we'll have to see if they even accept it.I just noticed that the most recent suggestion they've even posted is from October 14, 2016, so yeah, I guess that site is dead.There's some guy who disassembles these headphones and stuffs them inside of these earmuffs, resulting in a headset that plays both channels into the same ear, allowing you to tell left from right by listening to whether the sound comes from above or below. Pretty interesting concept. (As you can see in his comment, to get them working on the PS4, you'd also need a separate microphone and a Y adapter.)
If you look up "mono gaming headset" on Amazon, or even just "gaming headset", you can see plenty of them that only have one ear, but it's hard to be certain that they will definitely downmix stereo to mono. For example, in lots of comments, the Turtle Beach people sound really adamant that the Turtle Beach Recon are "chat only", which suggests to me that something is wrong with them. There are ones like this that would definitely work, but then you're gaming with an earbud, or this but the reviews are pretty terrible.
Stereo-to-mono adapters do exist that you can plug into your controller, and then plug a 3.5mm headset into. However, I can't seem to find a single one that would work correctly with a TRRS connection (the type with 3 black bands that supports a microphone). So to make a 3.5mm headset work in a PS4 controller you'd need a pretty ridiculous setup with like 3 different adapters.
If I was in your shoes, I'd probably dig around looking for a decent looking single-ear gaming headset (either USB, or 3.5mm TRRS), and then email the manufacturer asking them to confirm that it will play both stereo channels through the one ear. Either that or buy the wacky homemade set from the guy. Or pester Sony to add mono support to the PS4.
I've had a few of those scansound 1-Bud earbuds. They're not bad, especially for the price. (I tried upgrading to the 1-Bud Pro Gold and didn't notice much difference fwiw.)
However, recently I gambled on a similar but different single bud from Sharktooth and found the sound and quality both to be much better.
I still use the sport 1-Bud for running. I've gone through 7-8 of them (they wear out quickly), but I've tried other sport models and don't like them as much.
