You can get active monitors, yes.
Therefore other monitors must be passive.
Therefore passive monitors are just hifi speakers attached to an hifi amp ?
Is this just jargon ?

Yo Briggsy:

Most monitors are just speakers designed to let the mix come through clearly so tweaks can be made on various tracks such as bass, voice, etc.

The newer breed of monitors are powered. Since I don't own a pair, I can't tell you much but I have heard that the Mackies are very good.
You need monitors to adjust the mix because what you hear in a good headset is NOT WHAT you may get in the mix. Headsets are cool but you do need to run a cut through a few times and listen and tweak where needed, as well as pan, etc.

Have fun,
