I'm currently using IEMs (JVC Marshmallow), but for a while had gone through several pairs of Panasonic RP-HT355 headphones (and before that had a Sony MDR-360 which I just came across the other day). Quite often, especially while wearing my headphones outside on a summer day here several miles east of San Diego, CA, my ears would be sweating almost Niagara Falls after a half hour of mowing the lawn, for example. I'm sure the temperatures of 95-105+°F (and a couple summers ago we had a few days up to around 115°F or a little hotter, but I don't think it quite touched 120°F) didn't help, either. So far I haven't had the problem with my IEMs at all (except the inside of my ears sweating sometimes and "lubricating" so the IEMs (including the Phonak Audeo PFEs I had before the JVCs) break the seal and eventually fall out). If I was going to switch back to a closed-back headphone, is there a type of earpad that would be more forgiving in this type of weather and use? (The type that sit on the ear would not work for me, as my brother had a pair and I tried them, and I just don't like that type. I prefer my ear to be completely inside the ear cup.)
