Is there an adapter which lets you use a USB headset with the controller? I would rather not have to buy a new headset.

I don't have any evidence to show that it is NOT possible, I can however link you to an eHow of how you CAN. It seems to be simple enough:
- Plug in the headset.
- Go to the
Audio Device Settingson the PS3 and set the headset as bothInput DeviceandOutput Device.
You'll need to use an audio/mic joiner to join the two separate headphones cable into one, it should look something like this:
Take note of the three bands on the plug and the different colored sockets. This is how you can visually identify the cable has three channels, one for the microphone and two for left and right audio.
A quick Google/eBay search leads to some promising results, just make sure you get the correct cable.
Don't forget to turn on in game audio through the controller port as described in this question.

USB headsets should work with PS4s using one of the USB ports, according to IGN: http://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation-4/Headset
However, I have seen one or two single 3.5mm to USB adapters. I don't know if those will work with the PS4 controllers, but the worst case scenario is to either buy a new headset, or to just plug your USB headset into the console (which will save you money).
