If they’re wearing headphones outdoors/in public instead of earbuds or noise isolating in-ear monitors, they deserve all the sweat lol.
Otherwise for those of you at home:

No more sweaty ears once I switched from noise-cancelling Sony and Bose bluetooth headphones, to a cheap bluetooth neckband type earphones. I swapped out the earbuds for some silicon noise-isolating ones that fit snugly in the ear canal.
Got a fancy open-backed headphone for gaming/music on the PC.

Open-backed headphones in public will have everyone around you hearing your music no? Doesn’t seem suitable for public transport for example.
And I just don’t like in-ear anymore… Used them for about a decade but it’s always discomfort and trying to get them in just right, and I tried so many models. Not to mention you need to clean your ears all the time or risk pushing the wax deeper into your ear canal each time (or getting it all over the ear bud)
For me personally, the sweat is a small price to pay for the comfort and sound quality of over-ear headphones. Plus they’re harder to lose!

Nah, I have a ton of pairs of open-back headphones and you cannot hear what’s playing unless you’re wearing them. If anyone else can hear what you’re playing, you’re playing something so loud it’s damaging your hearing, not good.

Alternating one ear out to keep the ear sweat down.

I do this with my testicles. Very practical.

Headphones are pretty much only a night shortened in the summer for me. And even then often on borrowed time.

Meanwhile, me in the wood shop wearing safety glasses, over ear hearing protection and a dust mask in 95 degree heat and 95% humidity be like:

I’ve been wearing similar but also a raincoat, during full sunshine, middle of day, with the humidity piling up on the hole I was working in.
It was pretty fun but I had to do that for long I would’ve died
