  • Creative Aruvana Live!
  • Some old STAX?

The list could go on...

I am gonna cheat here and say:

 

Logitech Z200. 

 

They're just a cheap set of desktop speakers. They sound shockingly good for $30. I find them 1000000x more enjoyable than any headphone. Because they don't make my ears warm and I can move around freely without having to worry about wires. If I had to pick a headphone it would be the Philips SHP 9500. They just sound good and are as comfy as headphones can be.
