On topic I don't think any solid non-moulded in-ear headphone would be any good because it gives you horrible pain after 20 min - several hours depending if you're leaning your head on anything.

what do you recommend up to 15$

I have no idea :-p You probably can't get anything really good for $15, so just find something that is soft and fits your ear to minimise ear pain (or have it be longer before pain starts, at least). I bought a pair of Skullcandy Hesh 2 second hand from a colleague 2 years ago for $20 and they are still going strong. The ear cushions are really big so they go over your whole ear and they don't cause pain. Going over your whole ear means it keeps out non-wanted sound also. The audio cord is unpluggable too which is great because the original broke a year ago, so I bought a new one which meant I didn't need to throw away the whole thing. The cushions fall off occasionally if I'm carrying them around, but I was able to buy a new set on eBay for like $2. Plus they are purple, my favourite colour. If they ever died I would immediately buy a new pair. I generally carry them around wherever I go just in case I want to play 3DS or Vita (whichever I have with me) or listen to music on my phone. I am not an audiophile so I can't comment on if they are good for bass or whatever but I have zero complaints about the sound as a layman.
Edit: talking about this has made me realise maybe they won't be for sale when I want a new pair. I might go buy another pair right now to keep in the cupboard for when my current ones die :-s
