Riding is a great way to enjoy the sensation of the wind in your hair and on your skin—but no one likes listening to wind noise. Not only is it bad for your actual ability to hear, it’s just an unpleasant thing in general. What’s a rider to do?
You could, of course, wear earplugs. It’s what I do on every ride, in fact, and it’s served me well so far in terms of not suffering serious hearing loss while riding. The thing is, in 2022, a lot of us also like to hear things like our GPS navigation of choice feeding directions into our ears, or even music or podcasts.
