Default How durable are RE2's?

I work in a large non temperature controlled greenhouse. I work alone so a good MP3 player and headphones are a must. My current audio source is a Zune 120 in a Pelican i1010 hard case.

My main problem has been headphones. They just don't last. Sennheiser PX 100's lasted about 3 months. My current record holders are Zune Premiums at 6 months but they've had it due to sweat and now sound horrible. I really like the price of RE2's (if the cord gets hung up on something and tears off it isn't a huge disaster like a more expensive set would be) So how do they hold up to sweat and physical wear and tear?

Bi-flanges slip out when I sweat and there's the issue of sibilance. Filters will also need constant replacement (every month or so.)
