I've been very pleased with my Creative GigaWorks T40 II set for several years. I recently added the desktop Schiit Fulla 2 DAC and headphone amp (yes, the "fulla schiit") for $99 and now they really shine. Smooth, balanced and punchy with a cloth dome tweeter. Bass isn't rattling any windows but what's there is tight and musical, and one could always add a sub. They look good, too.
