I'm a student so I think you can imagine the beating these will take no matter how careful I am with them. I just need a pair of earphones (preferably) that I can enjoy and won't burn a hole in my pocket. I used to have a pair of UM2s and loved them, but after selling them... I'm out of the IEM...

SO, I realize there are literally around 50 of these threads and they've given me a great idea of what to get but I still need help deciding. Here's a little background info: I listen to mostly Rock, heavy metal, and some House/electronic. I know that's quite a wide range for a tight budget...
