Do you mean in the ear canal isolating earphones(IEMs)? What types of music do you listen to? Do you want something that sounds neutral, or something with extra bass? What types of music do you listen to?

I mean in ear headphones... I listen to EDM, generally house, trap and nu disco... i want something that is possibly bass heavy (Not too much), but they have to be obbligatoriely Resistant.
Anyways, thanks for the reply!

Sounds like you need to look for IEMs with good "strain relief" (that's the term you are looking for) where the cables connect to the IEMs. Not sure what the best is for that.

2 times that i broke a cablle i broke it in the middle of the union of L and R and the jack... so it isn't always a problem of stain relief.... I don't think that in ear monitors are totally for me, i prefer this tipe http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2421189,00.asp
i know a lot of them, but i don't know witch of them are resistant...

The cheapest IEM that comes with a replaceable cable is the Meelectronics M6 pro. It comes with two cables, one with a mic and remote, and one without. In the US it is $50. I don't know about European pricing. Many seem to like it, however some say the treble is a bit harsh initially, but not bad after it is broken in sufficiently. I haven't heard it myself. Search head-fi for reviews of it.

I have the Sennheiser CX300. The CX300II is very similar. It is an old design, and imo not worth the money. Imo even the $13 Soundmagic ES18 sounds better than the CX300. I don't know about the Sol Republic.

What do you think about jlab jbuds?
The problem of the sol republic is that they will probably broke in not much time...

So spend just a little more and get the Meelectronics M6 pro. It has a replaceable cable and comes with two cables.

Don't like the style of the m6 pro, so have you got other advices?(thanks, anyway)

I don't think there are any other IEMs with a replaceable cable for around $50. Perhaps you should either think about spending more, or perhaps spend less and buy  good $13 IEMs like the Soundmagic ES18, and buy a few at a time so you have replacements ready for when you break them. I haven't broken any earphones in many years. 
 
The Shure SE215 has a replaceable cord, but is around $100. IEMs with a replaceable cable or a a very strong cable are generally at least $100.

It's good having a replaceble cable, but to me is ok a pair that lasts long and sounds good for 40€/50$
Thanks for the advice of the soundmagic es18, just have a few more questions...
Do they last long?
Any other advice that lasts long?
