Oh yes, it can be bent and twisted and so on...! -- I should say
I began using it after a fall that had left my head very edgy
indeed. Even so, I had to bend it so out of shape to make
it wearable -- I wasn't going to go on waking up with an
indented head! -- the mouthpiece wouldn't then stay in place.
(In fact it couldn't be put in place!)
For quite some months, until I got the Talkmics, I held
the boom in my hand. (I even find the Talkmics slightly
uncomfortable -- because of the fall -- but it doesn't
leave any discomfort behind.)

You can say that again.

Maybe. I think I just experienced a truly vicious headwire
with malign intent ;-)
