In need of headphones / earbugs

Since I listen to music practically everywhere I go and my old earbuds seem to have broken (the left speaker now is significantly quiet, the other one is a LOT louder and it's annoying to listen to it like that) I'm thinking of getting myself new ones.
We're not talking about what I'd like to use / will use with my computer, since I have a Speedlink Medusa NX 5.1 there and I'm pretty happy with that.
My main three needs are:
1. Portability - Either earbuds or headphones that can be worn on the neck -> that don't look too bad. Would be also nice if they don't get broken too fast.
2. Sound quality - if it's headphones, the quailty will probably be okay, but with earbuds, I hate it if they can't properly enter my ear. That's why I prefer plug-ins there.
3. Price - I'd like not to go above 40€...
So some questions to you pros out there.
1. Is there any headphones you can recommend to me?
2. Is there a way to fix my old ones so I can continue using them? Was pretty happy with them.
3. Are still "in"? :D
and Im not talking about a headset, talking about headphones :)
are you judging headphones based on physical measurings or what... you get good enough ones for below 50e, just go buy from a solid brand...
the gap between 5€ headphones and 50€ ones is huge, anything above are marketinggags and/or for audiophiles imo
e: cheapest is 75 euros

Most likely causes:
* IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred.
* IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly.
* IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application.
* The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL.
* The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.
Things you can try:
* Ensure that the NTFS permissions for the web.config file are correct and allow access to the Web server's machine account.
* Check the event logs to see if any additional information was logged.
* Verify the permissions for the DLL.
* Install the .NET Extensibility feature if the request is mapped to a managed handler.
* Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
Links and More Information This error means that there was a problem while processing the request. The request was received by the Web server, but during processing a fatal error occurred, causing the 500 error.

would be better, but not perfect I guess :p
The Losers was also cool :D
BTW all the Skullcandy headphones i tried had terrible sound quality.
Porta pro's in a good offer at Amazon now, 30€ instead of 50€... Definitely in my consideration, thanks.
Get something over 100 bucks to get a decent quality, from Monster or JH Audio :)
