Hello,
 
I would like to ask for your help in selecting my new set of phones.
 
The characteristics they should have are:
 

1. To be comfortable (this might be very subjective, I know, but give me you opinion) as I will use the for long periods of time;
2. To be durable (cables and specially connections should be resistant) as I am not the best owner for my gear;
3. To be noise insulating (I will use them to be able to focus while working in busy places);
4. To be portable.

 
The sound should be crispy (I mean I am not really a lot into heavy base) and light. I don't know if this is an accurate descriptions but it is what comes to mind. I listen mainly to pop/rock/indie music.
 
Now this would be all easy to achieve if I did not have budget limitations. I am looking for something around $50.
 
I was thinking on this ones:

Keep in mind that they do not need to be earphones. They just need to be portable.
 
Any suggestions, knowledgeable people?
 
All the best and thanks for your time

I am also looking for perfect headphones (if there are), but it is literally never ending story. 

 Anyway, I also would like to hear some suggestion fitted with your four criteria.

These also seem to comply with most of the needs I expressed:

They don't seem to be very resilient though...

Is this page reliable?

There is a CAL! on the F/S forum for $55 shipped.
 
I would suggest doing some research on it.
