If you think the heat can damage the headphones in a tanning bed but there is certain conditions in which headphones can be damaged.

If the operating temperature of the headphones in the tanning bed is between 0^oC to 40^oC (32^oF to 104^oF) then this is not enough to damage the headphones.^[3]

This operating temperature is warry between different headphone brands.

Manufacturers of the headphones like Apple state that the ambient temperature is about 0^oC to 35^oC (32^oF to 95^oF).

I think heat does not impact headphones because you are not going there in a tanning bed forever. Every session of the tanning bed is almost 8 to 15 minutes. So heat is not going to have a significant impact on your headphones.

One thing you should keep in mind is that the headphones are not loose enough to fall from your head in the tanning bed. It can damage your headphones.
