I personally would prefer a nice set of speakers for a long listening period than headphones. The problem is, I'm pretty new to the audiophile scene (probably only been interested in all of it for about 3 months) and I'm young, too young to actually own a set of proper speakers for myself.
SephHaleySeph, I would start with a nice pair of powered monitors... It can get the ball rolling on speakers without having to buy all the components typically necessary for a traditional Hifi Stereo. The Emotiva Airmotiv line is quite reasonable and they've never let me down (I've got 5 speakers, 3 amps and a DAC from them, most well beyond the warranty and still kicking). You can get in for as cheap as $299 but I would recommend the extra cash for the 6's at $499. Another "cheap" option is getting a stereo receiver from Yamaha or HK and picking up some passive speakers. The pioneer Andrew Jones line has a good reputation as does his recent work with Elac. You can get a pair of the Pioneers + an HK receiver for like $400 or so with a deal.

ElectronicVicesThanks for the help! I was actually going to ask, I'll do some more individual research on these things you told me about.
