Fur Microphone Cover
« on: September 22, 2016, 08:32:06 PM »
I recently purchased a nice aftermarket Microphone Cover for my Sena.

It doesn't cost much and works brilliantly for cutting out the wind noise |-i

I purchased it from eBay for AU $2.62 (Link below)

Strewth!
Looks like a Beatles hairdo!
Dale McLean told me the mike cover was more for stopping breath condensation from entering the mic, rather than stopping wind noise.
But I'd like to try that, since the wind noise from my pillion's mic is really loud.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Mic socks ARE for reducing wind noise AND physical barrier  for protection.
PROPER mic covers reduce or stop wind, ordinary foam usually makes more noise.

So is that miniature British Royal Guard bearskin hat "PROPER"?

 :blu13 I now have the same one as Shiney and it works quite well on my Drift camera mic. Although the mic on my $48.00 BT S2 works exceptionally well  :like :blu13left
