What is the highest and lowest temperature when you are wearing your cans?

I mean the lowest because the durability of cables (has the low temperature any impact on the quality of sound?) and the highest because of the sweat (I think it is not very comfortable wearing the cans durung hot summer or spring days).
My lowest: -14 C/8 F
My highest: 26 C/78 F

I've worn my shure e5c's at 20F and over 100F on the hottest day. I walk to work every day 20 minutes each way.

E4s and V6s in -15C weather, and soon to be set record of 30+ C with E4s in Cuba.

Always between 55º and 80º. That's what I get for living in the Bay Area.

Wore my E4Cs while shoveling snow a couple of times (would guess about 20 to 30F).

When I listened to my K1000s with the Aleph 3, I would guess that the room temperature got up to about 500F.

I am happy to report that both headphones came out just fine.

I've worn my Shures outside in -30 C (lower, with windchill) weather. It gets quite hard to bend the cord, which is pretty stiff to begin with. No major problems, though.

I've also worn them in +30 C weather, again with no problems.

Well, at the moment, all of you is talking about IEMs (except azncookiecutter and his V6s), but my question was more on sealed closed cans (like my DT770s or DT100s).
I know for IEMs, there is almost no problem with the temperature, but what about the closed ones and hot (or at least warm) days?

 

[krmathis]

Anything from -25ºC to +30ºC, and experienced no problems so far.

Most electronics will include in the spec sheet a list of maximum and minimum operating temperatures - two sets: One while stored and inactive, and the other for while being operated.

Myself, I've worn my cans for decently long durations as low as -20C and 30C.

Dang! It's 33 C outside right now! This is too early in the season to be this darned hot!!
