Product Review Comments (read more and expanded product reviews on our News / Reviews page):
● "I had the opportunity to try some of your products this weekend... About halfway through the ride, I suddenly realized that I could
hear EVERYTHING that was being said in my group of 5 riders! I could still hear some wind noise, but I was very impressed with
the fact that I could hear riders several bike lengths in front of me." League (of American Bicyclists) Cycling Instructor/Coach
● "We rode several Cat-Ears models and, despite some initial skepticism, the concept seems valid and the effect on wind noise is
undeniable. It isn't completely suppressed - especially at downhill speeds in excess of 50kmh (31mph) - but the more generously
proportioned models decrease the din by a surprising amount." James Huang - Technical Editor at BikeRadar.com
● "Getting around by bike is enjoyed by all the senses... the simple and ingenious Cat-Ears allow us to hear what is really important...
without the distortion of the air (wind noise)..." Translation from the product review by Manel Ibars at Bicimag (Spain)
. ● "With these (Cat-Ears), you’re blocking that front noise, that noise coming from the wind, now you can actually hear more of what’s
coming up behind you (also, if you are in a road race or mountain bike cross country race, you’ll be able to better hear your opponent
attacking you from behind and this will give you an advantage over the other racers." From the product review on Bike Sport Radio
From News / Reviews:
"You can try this yourself if you lay your
index fingers over the skin directly in
front of your ears. It's a big difference.
Every helmet, especially kids helmets should come with these to hear cars approach from behind because cars keep getting quieter - especially electric cars. You can hear your friends talk, listen for mechanical problems, and have less fatigue on a long ride."
so simple can make such a difference... I wish you'd been making these back when I was racing." (SS - California)
"I have to hand it to whoever came up with these... nothing better than riding in peace. Thank you Cat-Ears!" (EC - California)
"Tried my new Cat-Ears today and LOVED them! I've been annoyed by wind noise for a long time and these really work. Thank You!"

Some of the many comments we found on cycling forums regarding Wind Noise:
"HELP! This may sound trival but it is a big deal to me... anyone found a way to reduce Wind Noise while riding?"
"I wear a lightweight (name brand) headband over my ears which blocks the wind - but it doesn't reduce Wind Noise."
"While riding into a 20 mph headwind... I can't hear anything but a very loud and annoying bunch of Wind Roar in my ears."
"Anyone who wants to have a conversation with me while riding will find themselves saying the same thing over and over again."
"It's dangerous to have Wind Noise when cycling... It's best if we can hear the road, but the Wind (Noise) can make that impossible."
"I had a car honk behind me once and I could barely hear it!" "Wind Noise... interferes with hearing the rest of the ambient sounds."
