I'll echo what Roel says here.  He's not being arrogant, quality headphones are
a must.  To be a bit arrogant myself, I haven't heard anything from [for
example] Sony that counts as quality.  If they came bundled with a cd player or
you can get them at 'WalMart' or 'BestBuy', throw them out now. :-P

Another set of very good, reasonably priced headphones are the Grado Labs
SR80s (my personal price/performance favorites at roughly $80).
