Default Headphone shopping, again

I'm shopping for headphones, again, and I'm looking for suggestions
(again).

My now-broken headphones are Sennheiser HDsomething (220, maybe?), and I
never particularly liked them. I find the construction poor (the ratchet
that sets the headband size has been broken since they were fairly new, the
covering on the headband pad is disintegrating all over everything, the
screw-on 1/4"-3.5mm adapter came apart and nobody else's fits right, little
stuff). Yes, one is supposed to be able to get replacement parts for these,
but Sennheiser Canada has been difficult to deal with in the past.

What is most important to me is robustness/reliability and good isolation;
these are the phones that will go in my mobile kit and get dragged through
festivals and fields and all kinds of nonsense. High efficiency is also a
plus. Ultra fidelity isn't so important. Price is a bit of an issue, I'd
like to stay under $200.

Should I just say to heck with it and get a set of Sony MDR7506's? Or am I
missing something?
