Default Low level listening, budget, pc speakers.

I started a new job last week that does not really allow me to do the 8 hours of straight headphone time like my old one did. Getting up and down from my desk all day, and having to keep an active ear for corporate types is not conducive to being strapped down

So I need some recommendations on a low volume, mid-fi set of small PC speakers. My budget is around $50 at the max.

Max volume on these will be VERY low, so I don't really know if I am asking an impossible question here. I will mostly be listening to classical, opera, and slower IDM (some Aphex Twin, Autechre, etc.), so i would like to keep full sound definition. I know most small PC speakers lose all bass when the volume is very low.

Powered and unpowered are both fine. I mostly likely will not run a dac, but running a small amp (possibly T amp) is an option.
