These work and are comfortable
These work great for me. I have a Garneau Raid helmet and a small-medium head. With the way the helmet fits me, the Wind-Blox is a bit longer than the strap, but I was still able to attach it. My helmet is actually a little more comfortable and fits more snugly with these attached. They do not block 100% of wind noise, but they eliminate the worst noise, the high-pitched wind that seems to go directly into your ear canal. With these, the wind sounds more distant and more like a hum. I wear earbuds while riding on a bike trail, and the Wind-Blox make it much easier to hear the audio. This allows me to turn the volume down considerably, so now I can also hear external sounds better. The materials seem to be very sturdy and top-quality. The velcro is strong and the outside feels like soft neoprene.

Updated review 1/28/2025
This product works, the key is to understand there are two main lengths; 3" and 4", and needs to be mounted correctly. I originally purchased the longer one that didn't fit well with my helmet/sunglass setup. I later exchanged for the 3" length, and now I am happy. I cycle with POC spin helmet, Smith reverb sunglasses, and classic mirror, along with one I-pod in the R ear. This helps to reduce whistling at the I-pod at high speeds, I can also hear approaching car traffic/cyclists to my rear better which has increased safety. Granted there are some humongous glasses out there that may not work. But overall I always want a safer ride with less noise. Hope this helps others, ride on.

Blocks the wind, but also blocks your glasses
The wind blocking ability of this product is better than other products. However, wearing this product with glasses (prescription or sunglasses) poses a problem. Placed over the product, the temples are forced apart and do not sit on your ears (or, if forced into place, are quite uncomfortable). Placed under the product, the temples force the product away from my head and create a gap for wind to pass through, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the product. A fix here seems like it could be implemented and would be a real necessity, as riding without eye protection is not an option.

This really works!
This really works like it says. I have been wanting something like this for over 30 years, but just too lazy to do it myself. For me, they reduce 80% - 90% of the wind noise in my ear.FIRST off, be sure to measure your front ear strap first, with my helmet I got the Short Wind-Blox and it fits just right, the normal/regular one would have been too long for my strap.The only glitch I found was the thickness, fitting it with my helmet straps. I have the Giro Register MIPS helmet, and the straps around the ear are sewn together and do not adjust or extend. The instructions state to attach the noise reducer with the thick part of the unit inside the strap, next to your head, but for me, it made the strap uncomfortably tight. So I just turned them around and attached with the thick padded section on the outside of the strap, with the Wind-Blox logo next to my head. Sorry Wind-Blox, no one can see the logo now.... oh well!All-in-all, I do recommend the Wind-Blox for reducing wind noise. I wish I had some YEARS ago!

Not very effective with thick stemmed sunglasses
These work great if you don't wear glasses, or use glasses with very thin stems. My sunglasses have thicker stems, so lift the devices off the side of my face and let the wind go right through. Since they are so long, you can't really move them out of the way. Since they are so thick, you can't really put the glasses over them. So, the wind noise reduction is nil when I wear my sunglasses. On a 90 mile ride this past week I tried them with and without my glasses...big difference.There doesn't seem to be a reason the Wind-Blox are as long as they are, so I'll try cutting them down so the stem of my glasses goes over the top of the device and report back. I figure 1/2" off each side should do the trick. But notice nowhere in the advertising or instructions is anyone shown wearing glasses. So they do the job "as advertised." As I said, my thin steel stems worked fine...anything thicker made the device very ineffective.

Works great!
What a simple yet effective product. I don't think I'll ever ride without them again.Of course they don't block ALL wind noise...and the company's assertion that they block 80% seems a bit optimistic...but they absolutely do block a LOT of the direct headwind noise.I was underwhelmed for the first few minutes; but then I sat up and pulled them away from my ear and was pretty shocked at the difference that they make. And they are rather slim and don't look bad or even all that noticeable.Huge thumbs up!

Good Quality but WAY Short on 80 percent noise cancellation claims
The 3 inch fit my Specialized helmet perfectly but do not offer the 80% wind tunnel results as claimed. I would say they might offer a 10 percent wind noise reduction. Ear plugs might work better. Interestingly enough I ordered a second set in 4 inch for my brother's helmet. The design was a little different and I found that installing them on backward in contrary to the instructions, which made them stick out further past my ears and worked much better. You can get better noise reduction by extending your finger along side and in front of your ear. Ordering them from the companies site they gave me a $5 discount.

They definitely help
Are they perfect, no, but they help and makes my tunes that much clearer. Wind sound is reduced and you don’t notice that they are installed, at least for me and how my helmet straps are positioned.
