They work perfectly!
I bike 32 miles almost every day, listening to YouTube on my AirPods Pro. My average speed is 18 mph, even with winds reaching up to 15 mph. Wind noise has been a significant issue for me, whether I use noise cancellation or not. Additionally, I wear glasses for vision correction. I found a product that is comfortable, blocks out all the wind noise, and fits well over the arms of my glasses. I had been searching for a solution to the wind noise problem for a long time, and this product is perfect. Now, I can enjoy listening to YouTube without damaging my ears due to high volume.

Dont buy
They are awful. Scratchy porous hard foam. Very uncomfortable and poor fit. Doubt if they reduce wind noise.

Great improvement!
This item reduced wind noise as advertised! I wear hearing aids and ride over 100 Miles per week and the static on my hearing aids was so bad I couldn't carry on a conversation during a ride because I couldn't hear anything but the wind. I have worn these ear covers once so far on a ride with the wind blowing over 10 mph and what a significant difference. Group ride tomorrow. That will be the test! At this point I would say the noise reduction is near 80%

Sort of works but a number of disappointing qualities
I have tinnitus and sensitivity to loud noises, and when I saw this product I was hopeful that it could be helpful, but overall I'm disappointed.First of all, the quality is poor. The plastic is extremely cheap quality rigid stuff and the foam ear muffs aren't particularly attractive or comfortable either. It makes the product unpleasant to wear and frankly weird looking (and I've accepted a level of looking weird as a cyclist). This looks like something you bought at a dollar store, not a $35 item. Even the bare bones "packaging" (ring of plastic sheet held together with staples) seemed chintzy.And because I have a large head, and moderate sized ears, the thing barely reached over my ears and I don't feel like the seal/coverage was all that great.It did reduce noise to a degree, but not as much as I was hoping for and honestly I feel like it could be improved if it fit better. I had some steep downhills where I could get over 30 mph and that was where the noise reduction was most noticeable. At 12-15 mph? Not as much.I'm in Florida, in August. My ride this morning was in comparatively cool conditions, upper 70s to lower '80s Fahrenheit. Within 5 miles, the earmuffs were filled with sweat and I expect that will always be the case with this product. There is no information in the sparse materials on how to clean the product. I'm assuming water and liquid soap and drying it out.Do I feel ripped off? Kind of. I'm going to keep it and play around with the fitment but I wish the overall product was better thought out (multiple sizes or better ways to adjust the fit) and I wish the comfort and quality was better.

Great value and quality.
Got these to keep cold air out of my ears when I'm hiking. Works great and I can hear just fine with them on .

Significantly reduces wind noise
In a small graph on the package the manufacturer claims somewhere between 15 and 20 dB of noise reduction at various speeds. While I did not attempt to use a microphone to test this claim, I can tell you as an engineer who measures things that the claim is in the ballpark of the noise reduction actually achieved. The net result is that you can hear traffic and other sounds around you better, and this of course makes you safer. Ambient sounds are barely attenuated, and I mean barely.The other plus is that this device does not require you to use a helmet. Whether you have urges to sermonize about wearing a helmet while riding a bike or not, this feature also means other activities where a helmet is unnecessary can be enjoyed along with less wind noise.I've used these on several rides thus far, and there may be a weather limitation. For cooler weather below about 70 F they feel fine. With temps down at 60 and lower they will actually help to keep your ears a bit warmer, which is another plus. Although I haven't used them in hot weather yet since I just got them, usage in the mid 70s suggests that they may cause additional sweat to build up around your ears. When it gets to 80 and above this may be unavoidable. The question will be does it make them unwearable due to discomfort. I'll try to update this review next year when things warm back up.No 5 stars here because it is a "one size fits all" affair. One size fits all is for low end products. In my case I have a large head and would have preferred a frame slightly larger. I'm sure there are some people with large ears that would also like larger ear cups. So dear mfr., please step it up and offer sizes.Finally, it seems to me it is possible that the wind noise reduction could be even greater with a non porous material at the front of the ear cups where the wind hits. Keep in mind that sound travels at about 770 MPH, so a piece of solid plastic or similar is still not going to impact the ability of sounds from both back and front to reach your ears.

Don't waste your money!
These are cheaply made, way over-priced and only marginally effective in reducing wind noise. Basically a huge waste of money.

OK on it's own, but great when paired with Cat Ears
They don't actually do a great job of reducing the wind on their own. However, when used with Cat Ears wind blockers, the combination reduces nearly 90% of wind noise. The two together cost $50, which is pricey, but what a difference having both makes. AND, you can use them with hearing aids!
