Question for you all out there. I have never been an "audiophile" by any stretch, but I do appreciate good sound. The main thing is my hearing is mediocre. I have had a Bose Companion 5 on my computer for what seems like 10 years now. I have run my headphones out of them for a long time but I am tired of all the wires...

Is there a good solution for around the ear cans and a USB sound solution? I was seeing some chatter about that Creative Super XFi but I am an audio newb and was hoping you could give me some pointers.

I use wireless cans at work but at home I prefer wired cans.
 
For my home pc I use a Schiit Hel as my dac/amp and it connects via usb to the pc. This powers my Beyerdynamic DT-880s 600ohm with ease.
 
For a non-audiophile, some Philips headphones have an excellent bang for buck. I suggest looking for reviews.
