I recently purchased a Sennheiser eh2200 set. It is a closed set.
There are certainly much better ones around, but this one is very
affordable, good enough for me when in the field, and... even though it is
made of plastic, it can be twisted without any damage.
That last characteristic decided me when looking for one, as I broke a set a
year ago while removing it in the field (a set that should never have left
home, in the first place). With the eh2200, that seems practically
impossible.
