Headphone reccomendations?

Well... It has come to my attention that taking my headset to school and back again may be putting it under considerable wear. Also that it would look rather stupid (and possibly unsanitary) to workout with a headset whose cushions are squishy and could possibly trap bodily junk. So here I ask: What headphones have you people found are good for more 'casual' wearing, but deliver good audio quality, are durable, and are cheap?

I must also mention that the reason why I'm opposed to earbuds is that my ears have a tendency to make mroe wax than a crayon factory... even after I've cleaned 'em out...

If you use old style earbuds (not the new fit-to-size ones) you won't get problems with wax getting on them. That being said, check out Sennheiser headphones. I use Sennheiser MX560 for my MP3 player. Check their site for a complete range.

Ahh, I usually use that top kind, and unless it's got that squishy foam on them they sloooooooooowly slide out of my ears... Perhaps I should get something to get rid of my wax with >.>
