If its made well then plastic isnt an issue, for example Sennheiser 600 line and also most of HD800/s.

560s and 280 pro are like that too, but they're cheaper. 280 pros are especially well built and the plastic feels expensive
Sennheiser HD 560s amazon and bestbuy $149.95 i dont here any plastic sounds
On another note, you can get rid of the plastic noise as well. Get some Silicone Oil in a spray can with a precise nozzle, like Ballistol (brand).
Cautiously spray the joints, hinges, wherever you suspect the noise. Apply movement to help the oil crawl into the cracks. This completely eliminated the noise on all my plastic headphones forever.
Just be super careful, silicone oil is super slippery and next to impossible to wipe up, dose with care and cover all surfaces with newspaper etc.
If you want wireless, i am extremely happy with my B&O Portals.
Beyerdynamic custom one pro
My MMX 300 Beyerdynamik doesn't make plastic noise and has mostly metal frame
I've never had that issue with any plastic headphones.
Airpod maxes, no cables helps with the noise too
Yeah sure Abyss 1266 phi tc, focal utopia 2022, zmf,
But plastic isn’t a problem
I got the B&W PX8 and they don’t have such a problem my dt1990 also don’t make noises
Meze 99 are good for this! Not super expensive, they’re closed back, super well made
Audeeze LCD-X and I think Beyerdynamic dt 1990 pro, not really sure about that one.
Beyerdynamics don't have any movable plastic parts or plastic-on-plastic. the headband is metal and, although the slider mechanism has a plastic cover, the slider itself is metal-on-metal. The cups are plastic, but it's not flexible and doesn't move against anything
