I use cheap in-ear headphones.
The best cheap pair I ever got were like $0.86 on eBay, they actually had pretty decent sound quality and got pretty loud, they were way better than a $20-$30 pair of in-ear headphones you can get at like Best Buy or Walmart.

That's because Best Buy and Walmart sell ear buds that SHOULD be $1 for $30. Buy online.

I saved that file from somewhere on Head-Fi a while back for situations just like this  But it was a year or so ago I couldn't possibly remember which thread I got it from but it's legit. It's how I got my spare assemblies. I'm super super gentle to my Denons though so I don't foresee me needing them but I figure it adds value for the next owner if ever I go to sell them.
I'd like to eventually get a self contained DAC instead of running through my receiver but getting anything 24/192 with multiple types of input is $$$ right now so I'll wait a bit. I haven't modded anything before. My first mod, is I want to replace the cable with a D5k or D7k cable but I don't know how to solder and I am scared of ruining the drivers so that's pretty much on hold indefinitely. I did put some foam spacers between the ear pads and the cups to help with sound stage and a bit of the bass bloat they have. I'm not even sure it did much but it felt better saying I modded my 'phones.

IMO they have better bass (probably due to the better seal) and you don't lose any sound quality in the rest of the range.
They do degrade over time, but not that quickly. It's about $2 a set and they easily last 2 months of hard use, more if you don't use them too much. I replace mine every 4-6 months or so.
Oh yeah you're getting different foamies I was talking about Comply fucking $10 a pair that lasts a month or two of gym use. Shit's outrageous price man. Outrageous!

I heard great things about the olives, always meant to try them in my Monster IEMs but never got around to it since I highly prefer my M-80s for portable use. They're better in every single way anway. Glad they work for you.

I had the opportunity to pickup Audio Technica ATH-ES55 at a discount today. ($60aud)
I considered buying them
The earphone size isn't big enough for me, I'll need something to cover (closed-ear)

i grew up as a raver kid and played around with dj'ing in my 20's. i picked up a little knowledge about sound equipment along the way. i just replaced my headphones and am on my second pair of these.
great sound quality, best price you'll get for professional grade headphones. my last pair lasted me 13 years (and they're still okay - i keep them in my closet as my backup pair).

You want cans for exercising? That's a horrible idea. Get IEMs.

I've got me some Denon AH-D2000s as well. I modded them with J Money lambskin-covered foam cups. I run them with an Objective2 headphone amp. I think they sound pretty damn good (very neutral sounding).

My daily buds are Skullcandy Ink'd. Cheap, replaceable, and have awesome bass. I've got Shure E2c, Skullcandy cans, Studio Dre. Beats, and Grado SR-60i for home use. I bring my Skullcandy cans and Beats out once and awhile.
