Which headphones do you use? I've had a pair of Sennheiser HD 485s for 6 years and they still work as well as they did when I got them. I usually use a pair of cheap ear buds when I'm bench pressing body builders in the gym. However I'm planning on getting the PX-100 IIs soon for mobile use.

Bose AE2 and IE2. I used to buy cheap $50 headphones but they would constantly break (in 3-4 months the sound would either fade or the magnets would die/come loose) For ~$50 more I bought these Bose ones and they haven't broken in years.

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 800s for use at home, and a cheaper set of Westone UM3X RCs for when on the bus.

The Senns are fantastic and have a very neutral sound signature, but they're bulky and have a high impedance, so they're not very portable. My Westones are in-ear with great isolation, have a fairly middle-of-the-road impedance but are also very sensitive, and they have mildly accentuated bass and treble which makes them well-suited for use in a non-ideal listening environment.

I have a pair of Logitech H530 usb headphones for use at home.  The black (smooth) material on the foam ear pieces is starting to flake but I've had them for at least 5 years.

On the go, I've got a simple pair of earbuds that I got at a cell phone store for $20.  Nothing fancy really.

Apple earbuds. :[

I've had various <$50 earbuds over the years, as I am poor and have no money. I'd like to get some new ones soon because Apple's are not very good, but I never really even know where to start looking.

I, like Parsifal, have the HD800s.  However my audio source and amplification equipment are shit, I will get around to upgrading it, spent too much on the headphones.  I use my Audio-Technica ATH-M50s studio monitors pretty regularly.  When going for walks, I use my Apple earbuds so I can hear the traffic.  On planes and other loud places I have Shure SE215-CLs.

I don't own any headphones. I don't have tinnitus, headaches and can hear like a bat.

Using headphones doesn't require the volume to be insanely high.

Most people who only know very few people have trouble admitting it. Good job, buddy.
