Weirving,
The most durable in-ear monitors (not "buds," since buds don't go into the ear canal) that I have found are custom. In particular, UE customs since you can replace the cables. I have a pair of UE10s that got caught in the spokes of my bike while riding (long story), which ripped them out of my ears, shredded the cable and threw the IEMs down the street. The cables were trashed, but the UE10s still work flawlessly to this day. My favorite portable headphones!
Hope that helps. My wife destroys her Shures (E3s, E4s) on a regular basis after only a few months. I won't let her touch my ER4s!
Enjoy.
