sorry, gotta disagree with that suggestion as your primary playback option.  I enjoy listening on phones from time to time, but I like the experience of the soundstage opening up in front of me and the visceral effect of music can only be felt in open playback, imo.  I'm sure Alex would benefit from jonny's john setup, but I'm not sure what it has to do with anything.  I think getting yourself something with decent power from best buy or circuitcity is a good idea.  look around for open box deals for things with blemishes and full warranties.  don't spend a ton, but you'll get something very listenable for a decent price.

you can get a set of Sennheiser HD-580's off ebay brand new for around $125.  I have these and love them.  great full sound and non-fatiguing.  also very comfortable to listen on.  highly recommended.

I am a huge fan of the Grado series...while the open design takes some getting used to, once you do they are the most comfortable and natural sounding headphones I have ever used...I use the SR80s right now...
