    Not sure about durable, but under 20 is throwaway range.

    This one is an earbud type, whereas i want over the head type.

    @spandexninja. This one looks good.

    Still I would like to consider more options :)

    Got my Koss Portapros from Amazon for $20. Seems they've actually increased in price, now around $30. Still totally worth if if you're willing to go a little above your budget.

    Monoprice 8323s or PortaPros are probably the most durable headphones you can get in your price range. Panasonic HTF600s are probably the best sounding, but they're not a solidly built.
