just throwing this in here, I'd suggest a pair of the Bone-Induction headphones. My wife got me a pair last year and I'm already at two pair. They dont go over your ears, so you can hear conversations in the room (as long as it's not blasting full volume)

My last job gave me a bunch of crap about headphones and in-ear plugs, but for some reason, they couldn't figure out what the new headphones even were... and a super cool bonus? You can wear ear plugs and still hear the music, pretty cool when you have to work with heavy equipment.

Bone conduction?

I had someone think mine were a hearing aid.

actually, another cool part is, you can wear ear plugs and be able to still have a phone conversation... not that they'll be thrilled about all the noise tho.

Any recommendations on brand for those?

Aeropex sound good. Mine keep breaking, but they also keep replacing them in warranty. So, just don't plan on them lasting past the warranty period, which makes them pretty expensive.

What is causing them to break? Is it daily use? Poor design?

I use mine a LOT. Almost constantly, really.

I think there's a design flaw, as they all break the same way at the same spot, and combining that with my rough treatment may be too much for them. They may work great for people who don't wear them nearly 24/7.
