Cat-EarsClassic Slim Cycling Wind Noise Reducer

Too hot for regular riding earmuffs so these work amazing for summer time. They don’t look super great, even with the thin ones, but man it’s nice to have such a significant decrease in wind.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well these "cat ears" wind noise reducers work on my bike helmet. While they don’t eliminate wind noise completely, they make a noticeable difference—especially at higher speeds. Conversations and surrounding sounds are much clearer now, which adds to both comfort and safety. Considering the low cost, they’re a smart, worthwhile upgrade for any regular rider.

I have hearing loss which makes it hard to discern conversation above the wind noise. These Cat Ears do quite a bit to reduce but not quite eliminate it. I can tell how effective they are because if I'm tilting my head straight down while riding, the cat ears are below and not in front of my ears and the wind noise is greatly increased. But when I have my head in a normal riding orientation, the wind noise is almost gone.

They work really well

Eh! They were just okay!

The reviews seem ambivalent but these are working for me. This is the ear fairing I imagined I was going to need to invent before discovering that they are already on the market. They mounted easily and they do significantly reduce booming and wideband noise. I will note that it makes a significant difference whether your head is pointed right into the wind or just off, and it makes a difference whether your head is pointed up or down too much, but for my riding posture these work with my natural head position.

Don't work and look dorky.

Anyone who says these don't work has installed them incorrectly and they are NOT difficult to install. I even saw pics in some reviews of incorrect installs.Do they completely remove wind noise? No, but the reduction is dramatic.I listened to a podcast, hit a max speed of 27mph in to the wind (downhill), and did not miss a word of the podcast.If I look straight down the wind gets over the cat ears but when I'm looking forward there's no issue. Made sure to wear glasses over the helmet strap and situate the cat ears at the temples. Also, a lot of people wear their helmet straps loose below their chins. I snugged mine up so the strap stayed in contact with the side of my face.I wish I didn't wait so long to get a pair of these.
