Hardware :: Earbuds - Best Sound Isolation ?

I think its safe to say that the ibuds are utter crap. I've gone through three pair in 2 years.

I now realize that I end up changing every 5 months because they just don't last.

Granted, I mistreat them. Rolled up in pockets, stuffed in backpack, etc.

But I HAVE to believe that there's a solid pair out there that has the 4 things I absolutely NEED:

a) Durability.

b) sound isolation. I'm always at the library to stand my music being heard so I usually keep it very, very low. I'd like to change that.

c) Earbuds...I hate headphones.

d) Nothing too outrageous price-wise.

I had an old pair passed down by the guy who sold me my iphone. It was amazing but unf. i lost one of the earbud cushions (has to be screwed in) so I cant use it anymore. It was azur blue, no name or label on it, white ear cushions, a MICROphone (with just a press 'on/off' and 'mic' on it). If anyone knows this brand I'd love to track it down.
