Inexpensive, durable headphones?

I'd like headphones that are small/portable, can take a lot of abuse getting carried around in my bag, are capable of playing at a pretty high volume, and hopefully cost under about $20.

I have JVC marshmallows that I bought for about $3, great sound quality for the price, but I don't like how you have to squish the foam before sticking them in your ears, it's awkward in public. Also, I feel like it would be safer to have headphones that can let more outside sound in (though hopefully not making my music sound too loud to people near me).

I'm stuck at college in the middle of nowhere without a car, so I will be ordering online and shipping to New York.
What has the best sound quality within my requirements?
Thanks!

I'm using a set of Skullcandy right now. They stick well in your ears, have great sound quality, are small...

They can block out sound well but you can get good sound out of just one earbud. If you are listening to exterior noise, you can hear, it's just a bit muffled. Quite nice, comfortable, and almost never fall out and make people laugh at you. :)

Forgot to add: price range goes from about $5 to $20, depending where you get them. Good luck!
