I have Bose QC15's and Sennheiser HD280 Pro's. My dog chewed on the Bose
pair and they survived. I dropped a drill bit (http://bit.ly/1MP7xvI) on
my Sennheisers and they died. The Bose do feel a little flimsy, but they
came with a pretty robust (but lightweight) case that's kept them in
decent shape. I don't know if the microphone would be sufficient for
class-style use.
I haven't tried a Sennheiser headset, but I did like the headphones. You
could try something like this:
http://en-us.sennheiser.com/gaming-headset-pc-350-special-edition
I prefer passive (mechanical) noise reduction to active noise reduction,
but that's more a matter of principle than anything.
You can also try out PC/gamer-style headphones at several stores. Like
Target (in the video game section) or GameStop (e.g. Turtle Beach
http://bit.ly/1hD5yxO).
