Can't say much about headsets. I have a 7.1 headset and the only thing I can say for sure is that headsets in general suck for longer periods of time and surround is utterly pointless.
I've got the T40 and they do ok. Still not as good as back in the days when I had a dedicated subwoofer though, but they're perfectly fine for an all in one package.
I've been using these speakers for a few months now (gaming, watching videos, listening to music): https://en.creative.com/p/speakers/gigaworks-t20-series-ii
They are nicely compact, sound great, good build quality and are powerful enough to replace my old giant 90s Sony hi-fi system.
They come in a bigger version (https://en.creative.com/p/speakers/gigaworks-t40-series-ii) but you can't really max the T20 out as computer speakers or they'll blow your ears out. Maybe if you want to listen to music in a big room.
