[quote=XxSuperMoFoxX]usually 10 to 20$ ones last me about 3 to 6 months, the jack or the cable gets really messed up since i bike with them, so i would like something thats higher quality and could possibly last me a few years, seriously i probably bought at least 20 or more in the past 2 to 3 years[/quote]
If you're spending that much I'd get IEMs (in ear monitor)

Compared to most over-ear headphones, they're actually quite lightweight and the pads are just large enough to cover the average ear.

EDIT: Just read that you want something for biking.
Honestly, you're better off with IEMs or those with the weird attachments that go around the ear to keep them in place.

My favorite headphones ever are the JVC HA-M750 headphones, but probably not if you're biking. Why do you want headphones if you're biking? Get earphones instead.
