Windfree Earmuffs - Silences Wind Noise - Bicycle Accessories for E-bike, Road & Mountain Bike - Ear Protection for Men & Women - Gifts for Cyclists - Black

As someone with hearing aids living in a windy part of the UK, I was keen to find a product that could reduce wind noise when out walking. Over several months now I have found that these protectors do reduce noise levels, sometimes almost to nothing, when the wind is slight to moderate. However in a stronger wind, there sometimes seems to be little difference. It does depend though on the angle at which the wind hits the protectors. For someone without hearing aids the product would probably seem more effective. So 'wind reduction', in general, is a better description than 'windfree'.As advertised, it is possible to have a conversation whilst wearing these, except in stronger winds.The product is also described as one-size fits all. I would describe my head size as being average but the ear pieces barely cover my ears properly. The plastic round the back does not flex much resulting in there not being enough width to enable the ear pieces to easily sit properly and create a good seal. Non hearing aid users might find them better. Due to the tightness of the fit, the protectors can become uncomfortable after prolonged usage.I have not tried ordinary ear muffs or ear bags, but have read reviews that generally say they do not cut out or cut down wind noise. This product is therefore probably superior to those. It is just a great shame that there isn't a size choice with a more flexible band and with slightly larger ear domes for people with external hearing aids. Some more R&D could make this product a real winner. For now I can only give it 3 stars.

They feels flimsy. I wonder how long they will last. They give a noticeable reduction of wind sound.
