As I have managed to break my fifth pair of in ear headphones in a row, it's back to these babes.

Can anyone recommend any indestructible and affordable in ears? (I'M DESPERATE!)

I would suggest a pair of Monster Turbine if you can get it for less than 100$.
I personally own one, I paid 89$ (CAD) for it during the boxing day last year, and I am very happy with it.

Oh man, those are such nice setups. I thought about investing into a good pair of headphones + amp. Seeing those pics makes me want them more.
 
The Turbine Coppers turned out to be defective... 5 times, so I got myself the IE8i. :D

I went for the Sennheiser CX300 II Precision ECO Headphones really good reviews, down side they brake alot i hear, but 1 year warrenty should help :p
 
My earbuds

I have Ultimate Ears Super fi. 4. I'm getting beats solo hd's in two days for my bday!:D:D:D:D:D
 
Now those are some nice headphone. It really bugs me that most of the in ear headphones don't really fit my damn ears. Always bad experience with them, although I hear the sound quality is so much better than normal earbuds.
Skullcandy is the best! They're cheap (usually on sale $10 on slickdeals or Radioshack) but they do break every 2-3 months later.
 
how do you like these?

Great sound quality for the price. Originally had a set of SE110's and then a set of SE115's, however the rubber parts of the casing disintegrated even after careful (but daily) use, these are a great step up in terms of sound (a lot more bass and crisper trebles) and build quality

I have heard some people have had connection problems with the detachable cord on early batches, but have only had these for a few months and they have been great :)

have you tried the UE superfi5's, if so any comparisons? I have these headphones currently but they leave me wanting more it seems...
 
I know they are overpriced but for $130 shipped I couldn't tell myself not to do it.

*not my pic obv
