“I know there are two versions of this headset (this one for Xbox One/Series X and one Playstation 4/5) but I plan on owning both systems. Is there any way I can use one on both without having to buy two different headsets?”

You would need a headset for each console due to the differences in how each headset connects to the new consoles and due to the differences in how new consoles will handle game and chat audio.

I too, have bought both. The PS version has a USB adaptor for it, where as the Xbox version connects just through the system. I tried utilizing the USB adaptor on my Xbox, it did not work. I tried just hooking my Xbox Stealth 700's via Bluetooth, it too did not work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.- If you are looking for a headset to use on both systems try the Xbox version of the Steelseries Arctis 1. I am currently using these for both of my consoles. Simply switch the USB dongle to PC and it will work on your PS4/PS5. They sound really good too. I simply plug in USB extenders to the rear my XB1 & PS4 and run the cords to the shelf where I keep my headset & dongle. - For me the down side of the Arctis 1 is they do not have a separate volume control for game & speech. When I'm playing COD Warzone it gets to hard for me to hear teammates when there's kill streaks & explosions. - I plan to get the Turtle Beach 700 Gen2 for my Xbox Series X. Turtle Beach seem to be the only brand that offer individual game/chat volume control on wireless headsets. - Keeping the Arctis 1 headsets for my PS5
