I need new headphones

So my old Apple headphones broke, and I'm looking to get another headphone.
I like inbud or like Apple's old headphones, not over head ones.

I'm not that big into listening to music. Just casual stuff.

A few questions I had to ask:
Are the new Apple headphones good? Do they last for a while?
I won't get Skullcandy headphones because they break in 2 weeks.

Also, looking for suggestions on any good in-ear headphones that last for a bit, and don't look like they were made in China.

I had these, and they were pretty darn awesome. It came to about 40 ish dollars but it was worth it.

i think the term is earbuds

@MrPebbles:
That just looks like it will feel awkward in the ear.

do you guys know any good ones that rest on your ears, not go directly inside the ear canal?
I've started to dislike having to plug a thing inside the canal

I hated the marshmallow JVC ones. I don't know why. They felt so stiff in my ears.

Skullcandy has actually stepped up its game, they're not as bad as society has dubbed them. I have a pair of Monster Jamz myself that I got for 80% off at Future Shop (original price 120), if you can snag them on a deal I really recommend them. Others I'd recommend are Klipsch Image S4s or NuForce NE-700s (both under 100).

I got [url=http://www.walmart.com/ip/JVC-Marshmallow-In-Ear-Headphones-Black/17164154]these[/url]and they lasted me 2-3 years. No need to spend tons if you only listen for entertainment.

Budget isn't really an issue, though I have to put money in the bank and I do want to order them now. So I'll have to work with under $50~100 for right now.

Are you sure? Because every time I got Skull candies, one side of the speakers wouldn't work.
But I do like the idea of Apple's in ear headphone that doesn't actually go into your ears.

If you mean the headphones that come with the iPod then those are disgusting.
Try asking around some audio forums and just tell them your budget.

No, apple headphones are awful.
Skullcandy headphones are excellent. Mine last for more than a year and a half. Take care of your electronics.
