Hey, Internet, I'm in the market for new headphones

Ummm, well, quality, I want a pretty decent range of sound to be audible, but I'm not picky. I'm not planning on doing hardcore sound editing with these on, but I will be listening to podcasts. My main concern is that they be sturdy enough to last me around a year (preferably more). Every pair of headphones I've ever had before now have broken within a few months at the most. It's been pretty frustrating
Style... I'm not sure. I think I'd prefer either over-ear or earbud to the wrap-around ones, because it's really kind of a crapshoot whether the wrap-around headphones are gonna fit the ear properly. If it's earbuds, I want them to be guaranteed to stay in the ear snugly instead of constantly falling out like a lot do. If it's over-ear, I want them to not be too heavy. Either way, the sturdiness is the main factor I want.
When it comes to price... same. I'm willing to invest a fair amount of money, if it means I'm gonna have headphones that I'm gonna use for a long period of time, rather than spending, I dunno, $5 at a time for crappy headphones that'll last me two weeks at most.
So yeah, that's it. Thoughts?
