I remember the XM3's had issues with the touch the first winter they were released, but I think a firmware update resolved or reduced the issue, a friend of mine have the XM3's here in Sweden (west Finland?) and i have not heard him have any issues

Here's something I learned as a southerner who moved to Finland: observe the Finns, buy what they buy and do what they do. They know.

And given a choice between a product made in Finland bearing the avainlippu mark and one made by someone else, go with the Finnish product: the mark really does mean genuine quality that really does work in the cold, and it's usually worth the extra money.

Wait this is a thing in Finland?!

If you use over the ear headphones while walking, skiing or bicycling, it will be difficult to keep them warm. A few years ago I got Bose QuietControl 30 semi-wireless buds, and they are a lot easier to keep warm due to their size and shape.

The battery, and most of the electronics are around your neck, so you can easily protect them with a scarf. The buds are smaller than headphones, so they can be protected with a proper hat.

Op, you have the xm3 model that had problems in lower temperatures from the release. I heard they fixed it way later with newer batches. I think owners of the old ones are stuck with disabling the touch-area in the app.

I have the XM2 and XM4 and use them while riding a bike even when it gets really cold. No problems. https://i.imgur.com/IeU3K2a.jpg
