Gladly wrote I want some in ear headphones for listening to rock and I need it to be around 50$ and be able t be durable as I will be skating with them on.

They'll set you back $59, but the GR06 is extremely durable and great for rock.

Do you want them to be portable? Not really, but I don't want them to be boulders either
Do they need to isolate well? Yes

Do you have any hardware like amps or DACs that you will be using? No
Do you need an amp and/or DAC? idk, but probably not
Have you had significant experience with certain headphones in the past? Gaming headsets but that's just about it.

The V-Moda LP is extremely bassy, good-looking, durable, and very portable. They come in different colors, too, which is always nice. Seems like they have the kind of sound you're after.

If you're moving around at all, IEMs are the way to go. The Shure SE215 has great comfort, isolation (noise cancellation), bass, and durability. The design has the cable going over your ear so it's very unlikely to fall out.

What kind of signature do you want? Do you want more bass, more treble or neutral? For more bass, the Sennheiser HD25-1-II will do, for neutral, there's the V-moda M80, Beyerdynamic DT1350 (if you don't have much hair) and AKG K550

I guess I'll go for neutral ones, since genres I listen to is quite wide, but mostly does not involves too much bass.

I've been recommended for these too :

• Audio-Technica ATH-A900X
  
• Audio-Technica ATH-M50
  
• Sony MDR-ZX700
  
• Sony MDR-CD900ST
  
• Beyer DT 770
  
• AIAIAI TMA-1
  
• Sennheiser Amperior
  
• [EDIT] Sony MDR-1R
  

Previously I was aiming for AKG K550 but for certain reasons I reduced my budget. Could you please give advance advises on headphones listed above? Currently had my eyes on ATH-A900X and ATH-M50. Thanks alot

The A900X might have too little bass for some, more of a mid-focused headphone than anything else. It is also very big, wouldn't call it portable
The M50 will definitely be too bassy to be neutral, a little heavy, but can be a portable. Benefits from amping
I can't comment on the Sonys but the ZX700 could work
The DT770 is bassy, but the DT880 is close to neutral and can be found for about $250. The DTXX0 line is pretty big, but small than the AT air series. The entire series comes in 32, 250 and 600 ohms. Most really benefit from amping
The TMA-1 is bassy, and the size is fine for portability, not sure on amping
The Amperior is bassy, also very portable, no amp needed
The 1R is new and I haven't heard it

The A900X's are DEFINITELY not portable. The cups are huge. They're sold at Best Buy if you want to try them (only the BBs with Magnolia sections though). You'd also be able to compare them to the K550. The ZX700 is a bit warmer than neutral; I wasn't the biggest fan of them because they were pretty warm sounding and fuzzy in the mids. You can also definitely cross off the AiAiAi, DT770, M50, and Amperior if you want neutral. I've yet to hear a CD900ST (I'll probably be buying one eventually) or MDR-1R, but they seem to be better options than the others.

Thank you both for providing valuable insights and guidance. Much appreciated. I'll try to approach a local store to test some of them to make the final verdict
