And the X-540s are good, but they're not so amazing for music.

These are what I'd choose.

I guess I should say: I'd take the X-540s for gaming (their positional audio should be much better, due to there being many speakers, useful for FPS gaming where things like that are important, you'll be able to hear them coming

), but the speakers I linked for music.
Up to you which is more important.
Headphones are generally better for music at a fairly budget-ish price point anyway.
Edit: I've got no idea which drivers are better, actually.
But you've given me a plan: I'll do a comparison of Creative's drivers, the danielk drivers and the Youp Pax drivers, keeping all the other variables the same, then make a thread with my results.

I think thats ok.
Ill more than likely be playing more games on it than listening to music.
Even if I don't I should be getting a good headset soon.

If you're going to get a good headset/pair of headphones, make sure it's a pair of stereo headphones.
Surround sound on a pair of headphones/a headset is nothing more than a gimmick...
For rock, you can't really beat Grados. For bass-heavy music, I'd probably take a pair of JVC RX900s. For classical/acoustic music, take the Sennheiser HD555s/ATH-AD700s (The ATH-AD700s are also some of the best headphones available for gaming). Of course, this isn't taking headphone amps, into the equation, and it's a fairly budget list as far as audio goes.
Edit: And a Zalman Clip-on microphone, to make them a headset.
