I don't do any gaming but listen to a lot of music and like great quality sound. What would be my best bet?

There is a company called HT Omega, check out their stuff. I have the Striker, but they make a Claro and a Claro + which are supposed to be amazing.

Striker is around 60 bucks,
Claro and Claro+ are 100+ range.

Creative is hit or miss.
