Skullcandy has been a good experience. Cheap and durable. I've had two, a pair of Smokin' Buds 2 (died from a broken cable, now discontinued), and a pair of Jib True (my current earbuds).
I bought the Jib True five years ago for about $40 and so far they've survived a dog, getting dropped in the toilet, and multiple drops onto a hard surface. I haven't noticed any battery degradation. The audio quality is kinda mid (I used them in a factory at my previous job) and I can't speak for the microphone, but they've served me well. My biggest issue has been some oxidation on the charging pins and contacts.
Seconded.
I've got a pair of Skullcandy Mods. The sound quality is decent but not stellar, battery life is good, charge time is good and they feel pretty solidly made. Pretty good deal for $40 on Amazon.
I previously had some of their ANC overears that while not spectacular, were much better than I expected given the price point.
