Quality headphones?

Ok so my current ear buds keep falling out. Apparently I haven't mastered the fine art of jabbing them deep enough into my ear to make them stay in.
that and I hate the sound on them. So I'm gonna buy some new ones, ones that clip around my ears.
Anyone know of any brands I should look out for? I'm looking for relatively cheap stuff here. Like, no more than 20 bucks.
Is quality, cheap headphones an oxymoron?

Sony makes nice cans.i have Sony MDR-V150's, $20 at walmart. Sound better than my $50 logitech cans.

Which earbuds are these?
I currently use Shure's E3C and haven't had one fall out or even become bothersome in my time of ownership.

No idea, just know they're made by Sony.

Senheiser MX500s are GREAT... You can get them on Amazon for less than 20 bucks and they sound GREAT!

Go cheap. I once bought a set of $50 headphones, fancy ones with muffling pads and everything. They broke. My $2 earphones have lasted 10 years.

I'll second that opinion on the sennheisers, but I prefer their normal old headphones. Earbuds annoy me mightily.

The $20 Senheiser gets my vote. They sound like $200 enclosed headsets.
