I do plan on getting monitor speakers, and I do have normal computer

this set-up) but I'll need to otherwise make do with headphones for

I strongly recommend setting up the monitors ASAP -- they'll sound very different from headphones. Even just a pair of old, but decent, home stereo speakers will do the job nicely -- you should be able to pick some up for pennies at a thrift store or yard sale.
