I dont know if this site is the right place to ask but I dont really know any audio sites so here goes.
I work offshore on survey vessels and I need a pair of headphones principally for listening to music from my mp3 player and for my laptop.
Could someone suggest a pair that are:
Comfortable to wear for excessive lengths of time (a normal shift is 12hrs)
Isolating. Ships are noisy places.
Not noise canceling, I dont wana burn to death listening to sweet tunes because it muted the ships klaxon.
Reasonably robust. These things are gun be thrown in a rucksack or duffle-bag to be carted on and off planes potentially as either hold or hand luggage on a fairly regular basis. Naturally Ill do my best to pack em in but baggage handlers will be baggage handlers.
Stuff gets drop squashed and broken all the time.
Over-ear headphones only. I have these inner ear ones:

/www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EO3DYKM/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and I do like them but for extended usage like all inner ear headphones they make your ears generally uncomfortable.
No more than £150 really. If they do get broken by the aforementioned baggage handlers, I dont want to spend a month weeping over the small nation I could have purchased instead.
Any suggestion/advice would be welcomed!
