Show off your own speaker systems/expensive headphones/etc. in this thread!
Also, here's what I've got:
I have a Logitech stereo system around the desk that I installed only today, you can see the left speaker above the CD rack. The right speaker can't be seen, but it's there. The subwoofer is behind the desk. On the floor to the left, there's the stereo system controller with volume and power controls.
Skullcandy earbuds for on-the-go quality listening.
Sennheiser headphones for nighttime usage mostly. I prefer using them over the earbuds any time I can carry them along.
And finally, my HTC Thunderbolt which was practically made for media, the (as far as phone speakers go) high quality speaker is located on the back.
Since I have a recording studio, maybe not the best idea to list everything, but...

Headphones: Ableplanet (Forgot the model)
Audio Interface: Tascam US-122 (My dads old one)

Computer Specs: 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 RAM- 320GB 5400RPM Hard Drive- Dual Core Intel Core i5 2415M @2.3 Ghz- Intel HD 3000 Graphics- Only $1200! Yeah, I got a Mac, because I'm stoopid. Scratch that: Intel i5 2500k, 1TB 7200RPM Seagate Barracuda, Gigabyte Z68-D3H-B3, 8GB 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM, Radeon HD 6850, Running OSX.
You use headphones with ANC? Doesn't that degrade sound quality? I always thought studios used KRKs (both speakers and headphones), Beyerdynamics, Shures, Fischer Audio (the FA-003 is incredibly neutral), just to name a few. Never heard of Marshall or Alesis either. All studios I know use KRKs active speakers. Then again, I only know a few people who record.
Generic walmart in-ear headphones and my monitor speakers, that's all I've got. I've got a pair of Tritton AX 180's for my PS3 that I could use, but I'd rather get a nice pair of headphones and a mod mic.

They all suck. They just suck differently. Sort of like prostitutes.

The speakers built into my monitor. It's a Hanns.G HG281D 28" monitor. I've got some old gray speakers lying around, but they look hideous with my setup so I just use my monitor for sound.

I've got some logitech 5.1 speakers. Can't remember the model number but they are decent. I'm trying to get more bass so i'm thinking of adding two of these in a sealed box using an old computer power supply as a stand in for the car battery. I think it would fill out the system nicely and i listen to dubstep so i liek bass

Ohhhh, I thought you meant monitors. As in studio monitors. My bad. Too easy to jump the gun when I see the word "monitor".
I don't have speakers unless you count these two little tin cans that I suppose were intended for you to carry around with your CD player, they are very quiet.
My headphones are that generic iHome pair, they aren't THAT bad.
Microphone, Zalman clip on mic, and a rosetta stone microphone/headset pair that is actually pretty good.
Ya know, I could have an excellent computer sound system if I really wanted to. I still have bits and pieces of audio gear from my younger days, back when my ears were still good and I considered myself something of an audiophile. Much of that gear still works, so far as I know. Problem is, my speakers are BIG, and would take a major room renovation project to situate properly. I'd need a new computer desk at minim. Nothing wrong with my current desk, so it likely ain't gonna happen. Plus, the receiver I could throw in is fairly high powered. Considering how much it would be called to do during any given day my electricity bill is apt to suffer.
That said, my computer sound setup as it is today ain't all that bad. My computer houses a Creative Labs X-fi sound-card. I run the outputs of that to an old analog Yamaha four-channel power amp. (It would be considered low wattage for a living room audio system, but is plenty fine for the computer.) Ancient Realistic bookshelf speakers in front. Not quite as ancient Polk bookshelf speakers at rear. The sound I hear is pretty darn nice. I even get half-way decent bass, though not sub-woofer class by any means.
No pictures. I never bothered to replace my film camera when it went belly-up some years ago.

i5-4690K @4.6GHz ~ ASRock Z97X Fatal1ty Killer ~ EKWB Supremacy MX ~ Watercooled SLI STRIX 970s
Project RedShift
Hope to keep these for a while and upgrade to either the Alessandro MS1is, Grados SR225is, or the Denon D2000s.
EDIT: Also have a CmoyBB v2.03R and Fiio E5 in terms of amps.
Thinking about coming a mod to simply not moderate.

What kind of speakers?

AMD Phenom II 970BE - Asus M5A97 - 12GB DDR3 -300GB Western Digital - Cosair CX600 V2 - Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 - Cooler Master HAF 912 - Windows 8 - Cosair Vengeance K90
Wow those are some oldies. You like the sound signature?

I have a power sequencer in the rack now but the bottom rackmount is a Behringer Eurorack pro, top is a Behringer Ultra-Curve pro
Stereo setup, 2 18inch subs. These things are POWERFUL. About 1/4 of the way up they make shotgun blasts sound like real life.
