Klipsch S4i rugged edition is going for ~$50 http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Image-S4i-Rugged-Headphones/dp/B008PEWM6S
The sound quality on these are the best for their price, and the rugged edition should keep the buds alive for a while.
Only downside is I've gone through both the normal (not rugged) S4 and S4i (ipod ver.) having the right earbud go out each time :/. 
Have you thought of bluetooth IEMs? (They are battery drainers, but I don't have to worry about them rattling in my pockets and whatnot).
 
(There are also brands like Brainwavz and Shure that have items w/ decent reviews pertaining to durability in that price range, but I'm not familiar with their "sound signature" nor could I give a personal account)

M50/X: Good choice, if you are going for some thing well balanced. I don't like the fit of these but it may be "form-fitting" for your ears.
 
DT770:  will be the most comfy, whole cups will surround you ear. It will have more treble presence than the M50s though. Some people don't like these for that reason but in my experience, it wasn't too big of a deal listening to metal.
 
Momentums: Not sure which ones you are going for. The on-ear version are not worth it IMO as it is just a typical bass headphone. The circumaural version lacks treble, IMO, not good if you are wanting to hear a sense of clarity.
 
K550: I wouldn't bother with these unless you are using them strictly at home and with minimal head movement ( no head banging). The clamping on these are crap and will fall off easy. Also due to the crap clamp, you lose seal which means you lose bass.
 
The only other recommendation I could recommend is the Mad Dogs by Mr. Speakers, they are well balanced sound wise and are super comfy. Perfect for trance but especially rock/metal.

I'm cursed with enjoying bands that I'll probably never hear full tracks for... Found a band called "Mr.davinci", and I've developed an addiction to the previews when the 1st vocalist was still there (re wind, etc.), come to find out only 50 copies were made for made for each single they released when he was still around... 3! Then a youtuber that I'm subscribed to liked a video with a band called "phase faith", I really liked the band yet the one favorite track I like by them is nonexistent on the internet other than a long preview the cuts off before the last minute or so before the song ends... Sometimes I wish I could never find these bands to where any attempt would go out Men in Black style and erase my memory whenever I bump into obscure bands I really like. The sad thing is, If I was fluent in Japanese and living in relative distance to the live at the time It would have only taken me a small trip to go out to the live (along with purchasing of a ticket) and buying the single for around 500 yen... FIVE WHOLE DOLLARS. THAT'S LESS THAN THE MEAL I HAD TODAY *queue heavy breathing*

This. I'm being teased too much... Waiting for an actual update of some kind... T_T
 
Anyway, here they are at Stylish Wave '14:
 

I have a feeling like the last 10 comments should be in the DIV artist topic and not on the news forum for a release.

^ Just reminded me that I have yet to post on this thread . This band has not only great vocals, but is masterful in the incorporation of electronic elements whilst retaining distinct instrumentals.
I'm the type that tends to prefer ballad tracks due both lyrically and in terms of melodics. LUCHe. not only excels in ballads, but puts out very catchy B-side tracks which holistically make the maxi-/singles that much greater.
 
Speaking of some of their more limited tracks, I managed to find the Resist x LUCHe. limited CD on Mbok (which I've been starting to transition to b/c selection). I'm most likely not going to be able to purchase it since my Paypal balance is running low >_>... If anyone is willing to bid on it (tbh purchase), feel free to do so.
