The ~$39.00 Altec Lansing 2.1 I mentioned earlier do not sound worse than my $300 bookshelf speakers. Even with the subwoofer included the entire Altec system does not occupy as much space as just one of the Klipsch bookshelf speakers. For late night listening a set of Koss headphones (the full surround type) ~$20.00 make a nice addition, even a ~ $9.99 set can suffice for the occasional listen but cannot IMO fully replace speakers.

Most audiophiles would disagree. Thread title is "best computer speakers for music".
You can "feel" the music with a $50 Logitech 2.1 system (model X-240) but will it sound good? Doubt it. They are designed as low budget speakers; the satelittes are coaxial meaning there is no seperate tweeter for the highs which will compomise sound quality, total system power is a measly 25 watts RMS which is not enough power to "feel" the music, 10% THD for both satelittes and subwoofer which is not good for music, and a 4-inch subwoofer is a oxymoron. Logitechs are not too great for music.
A good set of headphones will not cause ear fatigue. That is caused by distortion and high volume.
