The fibers literally cause the wind to slow down by creating drag, thus reducing the noise made when air flows over your ears. Other reviewers commented about not being sure if these make a difference. There's a very easy test. Just pull the strap away from your ears when you are riding. Oh, boy! These make a big difference. I ride with Aftershokz Aeropex because riding with earbuds is just dangerous. The bone-conducting Aftershokz headphones allow me to also hear ambient noise of other riders, cars, people talking, etc.. When going fast, the wind noise is significant. The Cat-Ears are really simple and probably a tad overpriced at $15. But it's worth it for me. I'd definitely buy them again. If they were any more money, though, I'd head to a craft store to find a solution. I do want to mention that you shouldn't expect a miracle solution. They do not remove all wind noise. I got the medium ones. The thicker, larger ones probably remove more noise, but they make you look like you've got sideburns. The medium ones are barely noticeable. They look like the straps of the helmet. When you turn your head, or if the wind shifts, you can definitely notice a difference in the wind noise. And as I mentioned above, if you pull them away from your head, you can immediately hear how effective they are. They allow me to keep my headphone volume at a lower level, and I can hear more ambient noise. Cycling purists who are looking to remove every possible ounce and minimize drag probably might have a hard time adding something to increase drag. Me, I got a PR the first time I used these. So, I'm not concerned. IMHO, the tradeoff (if there is one at all) is worth it. Review: When properly fitted, the AirStreamz work as advertised. - Make sure before you start your ride that you properly positon the AirStreamz. It's going to be different for everyone, and it may take some time before you figure out the best positon to wear them in. I strapped them to my helmet and placed a simple desk fan on full blast about six inches away from my face. If they are in the ideal position for your face and helmet, you SHOULD hear a significant reduction in wind noise. This will be even more apparent when you get out and start riding. While I had these in the right spot at first, after a few weeks of riding, (I ride anywhere where from 15 to 40 miles a day) I noticed they weren't as effective as when I first bought them. After sliding them up and down in every possible position, I realized that the straps on my helmet had shifted out of place. So I had to take of my helmet, re-size, and try again and again until they were in the proper position. I highly recomend that once you've found a spot that works best for you, that you take a picture of your face profile for future reference. While they can be finicky as hell, once positioned properly I think its worth the effort. I can now actually hear the music while im riding, and hear cars better as well since they arent being drowned out by the wind. My only complaint is that they seem a little small. Im pretty sure the user experience could be vastly imrpoved if they were made a little bigger. ## Features - ~90% Acoustic Polyester, ~10% Blended Spandex - Proven Effective: AirStreamz are road / trail / wind tunnel tested - Aeroacoustic Material: Decreases and disperses turbulent wind flow - Acoustically Transparent: AirStreamz don't block surrounding sounds - Moisture Wicking: Air permeable material stays cool and comfortable - "Our Favorite Cycling Wind Gear" - Bicycling Magazine (Liu / Lindsay) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06VY6MH3Y | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparel Closure Type | Hook and Loop | | Best Sellers Rank | #45,715 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #109 in Bike Helmet Accessories | | Brand Name | Cat-Ears | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (824) | | Fit Type | standard | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Neutral | | Garment Size Country | United States | | Item Type Name | Wind Noise Reduction | | Manufacturer | Cat-Ears, LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | ASCE1 | | Material Type | Pile Fabric | | Noise Attenuation | 14-16 dBA | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) | 14 Decibels | | Occasion Type | Bicycling | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Style | Professional | | Single Number Rating (SNR) | 14 Decibels | | Size | 3 Inches Long | | Style Number | ASCE | | UPC | 857405004764 | ## Images ![Cat-Ears AirStreamz Cycling Wind Noise Reducer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51L56o3P1FL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Any testing on motorcycles?** A: If your motorcycle helmet has straps similar to a bicycle helmet, then yes, these will help lower wind-noise. **Q: How can I use these without a helmet?** A: I don't know that you can. Their intent is to be used on a helmet to block the wind which then cuts down on noise. **Q: Any recommendations as to a classic, xl, slim, etc? i ride road bikes and have a kask helmet.** A: The Classic is our most effective product and reduces the most wind noise. The AirStreamz and AirStreamz XL are a close second. We recommend the Slim for competitive or younger cyclists (or those who don't like the look of the larger products). Feel free to contact us with any other questions. admin@cat-ears.com **Q: What’s the best way to clean these? I am concerned about the material being damaged.** A: I hand clean mine with liquid hand soap and water. I let them dry over night and they’re ready in the morning ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent solution if you ride above 15 mph *by E***C on September 7, 2022* The theory behind these things is the same as those fuzzy windscreens that you see on microphones outside.

Game changer! Works like a charm - and so simple! I’m a Road bike rider and saw immediate change in the wind noise that my AirPod pro 2 would otherwise amplify. The noise is totally gone and it’s pin drop silence now. I use this with a Giro helmet and ride at about 17 mph average. It only is the wind noise gone, the silence has helped me ride faster - must be psychological. The product is expensive for what it is - but totally worth it for the benefits. I wish I could invest in the company that sells these! ## Frequently Bought Together - Cat-Ears AirStreamz Cycling Wind Noise Reducer - Continental Race 28 700 x 25-32c Bike Inner Tubes with Presta 60mm Valve (Pair),Black - ICO CO2 cartridge 16g C02 Cartridges Threaded For Threaded CO2 Inflator Cycling, Co2 Canisters for CO2 Bike Pump for MTB or Road Tires --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/41100348-cat-ears-airstreamz-cycling-wind-noise-reducer](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/41100348-cat-ears-airstreamz-cycling-wind-noise-reducer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
