Sorry for the misleading title, but I'm looking for earbuds I won't break every two weeks. Mainly that means the joint near the audio device must be extremely robust and flexible. What would you suggest based on the following criteria in order of importance?

1. In-ear
2. Robustness
3. Sound Quality
4. Button to change songs
5. Button to change volume
6. Cost

I'm willing to pay if its going to last me. I use earbuds constantly, and they never break on me while running with my iPhone in an arm strap. They always break from casual use getting bent around in my pocket, at that joint almost every single time. A couple times it broke at that song changing button or whatever its called. I've tried every style from thick and thin round or flat wires and various quality joints, but all have failed on me before too long. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Just to clarify are you looking for earbuds (which sit in the outer ear and don't offer much in the way of isolation)

or in ears (which are like earplugs so do isolate)?
