Most Durable In-Ear Headphones?

I need new in ear headphones and I need some recommendations. Something near or under $100.
 
Number 1 priority is durability, I’ve been through like 3 pairs of skullcandy’s and my 2nd pair of Klipsch S4i’s just broke. I stuff my headphones in my pockets so they need to be durable, especially the cable. I've had one side of the headphones break many times. 
 
Number 2 is sound quality, I want something with nice bass and great clarity. I listen mostly to hip hop but I listen to many other genres frequently. 
 
I really want volume control too but it’s not completely necessary.
 
Any recommendations?

Hrmm... You should consider finding an IEM that is small to start with, and then get a small, crushproof case for it. All IEMs will eventually break somewhere if you are shoving them in your pocket like that so it doesn't really matter if you get IEMs with bulletproof housing because the cable will break, or the strain-relief will separate. If this is not an option for you, the only IEM under $100 that I have experience with that has both a very durable cable and driver housing is the Sony MH1C. Decent sound for $30 and pretty sturdy. If you go down the case root, there are many options available to you.

Hmm, I think I have a case that would work then.It's just a hassle sometimes because I listen to music almost everywhere all the time.  Regardless of the case, what are the most durable headphones under $100 with the best sound quality? Something with a great warranty would be nice.
