Not big on buds or in ear pieces.

My budget allows me to spend $60 for new headphones. What do you recommend for someone who listens to music on portable devices for 3-4 hours a day, and sometimes in sweltering heat? Must have great sound, be both comfortable & rugged as I spend much time outdoors.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Here's a link to the Sennheiser PX100. I gave my teenage son a pair for Christmas '03. He's taken them on bus trips for band and basketball. He's taken them to Japan. And, last summer he took them to Austin, TX. He lost an ear pad on the Texas trip (church youth group on a van) and found a perfect replacement at a Radio Shack in one of your malls for $2 or 3. I've tried them and was impressed with their sound. I prefer the sound of my Grados slightly better, but the PX100's win hands down on comfort and portability.

BTW, I agree that the heat is "sweltering" (and a few other adjectives) in Austin in the Summer.
