Thanks kinda what I figured, I've done the same thing multiple times.

I was using a pair of Sony earbud type ones (can't remember which 'model'), but I lost the rubber bit from one ear piece. To listen to music over background sounds takes either 1 ear piece in (comfy) and volume up full (not good for your ears & hurts after a while) or 2 earpieces in (not comfy, 1 without rubber bit starts hurting quite quickly) and still need a reasonably high volume to compensate for the 'gaps' around the ear-piece with the missing rubber bit.
I then picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD 407s (over-ear type ones, but with a standard headphone jack) and they are awesome, given I paid ~£20. They cut out a reasonable amount of background noise through simply covering your ear so don't need them turned up as loud, they are quite comfy but I find that they can slide on my head some of the time and after a while my ears get a bit warm in them. They have also survived being chucked in a bag for carrying around uni most days (along with books / coats etc.). As to music quality, I'm no expert, but I'd say you'll struggle to find better at that price. Mine also get a lot of use whilst gaming, especially late at night so I don't disturb my house mates.
If you don't mind having over-ears ones, I'd recommend the 407s.
