That is in the 'ears of the beholder', ie you... You can get decent sound, very decent sound from inbuilt motherboard sound cards.. If you don't like it, then get a PCI-e sound card, Creative still produce excellent cards, ASUS Xonar are good too... But as I said, its what you think....

On-board sound systems should work very well with headphones or ear buds.. but ensure the output is analog.. not digital! They do not require external power sources, so the output should be sufficient for good volume. If you want to test the audio system, here is a link to PassMark SoundCheck™ for a testing program. With it, you can test the frequency range and sound levels of the audio system.. and your hearing range/sensitivity.
The 'average' human can hear from about 20 Hz to 12 KHz frequencies. But those ear buds or headphones of certain models will suppress low and high frequencies with certain models.. to favor the 'speech' range.
