Does anybody have any experience with any of these? Any particular headphones you recommend? One feature most of these seem to lack is the ability to fold up for easy transport. But I'll take toughness and comfort (no hair snags, covering the whole ear) over foldability if that's a choice I'm forced to make.
Wondering why you want some that cover the whole ear? Have you experimented with toddler and other earphones? We had some similar to the pair linked above, which my offspring quickly came to hate - he didn't like anything that completely covered his ears.

Our greatest success was with the old [ancient, actually ] earphones from my Sony Walkman. They only partial cover the ear, but have decent sound quality and are comfortable. We use these with the DVD player as well other portable sound equipment.
