Finally an easy fix for lousy helmet sound
I had an existing bluetooth helmet with the usual problem of the sound being drowned out at highway speeds. In my case the right speaker was much fainter than the left. I got the two strap open version of this product, detached the ear flaps and ran the straps through the top of my liner. My speakers fortunately have quick disconnects. I removed them and slipped them into the ear flap pockets after making a small hole where the wire would need to exit the pocket. There is a light grey foam insert inside the pockets. I removed this first and then put it back in over the speaker for added ear comfort. I reattached the ear pockets to the straps, plugged the wires back in, and used a rubber band to hold the chin strap to the chin straps of the helmet. Now after putting the helmet on, I tug the chin straps down to make sure speakers are over my ears, engage the velcro of the straps, then cinch my helmet strap down. I now have clear sound at any speed. An added benefit is that it made my helmet fit better...it was a little loose before. If your helmet is really tight this might not work for you. Money well spent.

there are better ways
I bought these hoping they would reduce wind noise when I was bicycling with my Jabra earbuds in. I find them clumsy to put on and take off, and uncomfortable to wear. They might reduce wind noise slightly? Not sure. Not enough to let me listen comfortably to music or an audiobook. A pair of behind-the-neck winter fleece earmuffs are easier to don and doff and do a better job of reducing noise. But for summertime: I ended up buying Beats Flex earbuds. Don't have to worry about they falling out and getting lost because of the cords. And there's less wind noise if I use them without either this headband or the earmuffs.

If You Love Goofy Looks...
I laughed when I donned this thing because it looks completely goofy. I snapped a picture of myself wearing it and sent it to a buddy of mine. His words were “Are you going to be shot out of a cannon?” Yes, it looks cornball, but I have worn it a couple of times under my bicycling helmet and it isn’t noticeable. It comes with four plastic cup-like plates that are supposed to fit over your ears to prevent AirPods from falling out of your ears. I find the cups to be uncomfortable so I haven’t worn them yet, but the headband itself will prevent pods from falling out. So far I’m not convinced of the usefulness of this thing and the comfort factor is non-existent so I’m giving it 4 stars.

Excellent design, works perfectly!
bought the two-strap version. I tried to make something like this for myself several times for my moto, ski and bike helmets and failed. This product works perfectly! So comfortable that I forgot I was wearing it and cuts out ALL the wind noise even at 30+ mph (in open bike helmet). I used the included earcups and I use earbuds. One can still hear outside traffic and conversation if you need to. Not hot to wear either. Excellent product design, materials and manufacturing. From a professional design engineer, I say kudos! to the designer of this product. They nailed it. Highly recommended and is worth the money I paid, less than $20, but its worth 30, so functional.

Holds my ear buds in my ear with half motorcycle helmet
This ear wear cover works great with my half motorcycle helmet going 80 + mph holding my ear buds in my ear listening to music with No funny look.On My modular helmet this ear cover was tight and a tad uncomfortable.

Grudgingly- It does work
This DOES work but it was NOT an automatic, or easy, setup. It took a good bit of manipulation. One of the things most problematic is that the ear covers are designed to be placed on the OUTSIDE of the head strap. Being on the outside of the headstrap allows the helmet to pull the earpieces off the head strap, if you're not careful. Also, the headset makes the helmet noticeably tighter so, a larger helmet may be the thing to buy along with this device. Of course, now that I have a decent fit with the headset I may sew it together in an effort to address the issue of the helmet pulling things apart.

Overpriced nothing.
Besides looking ridiculous, it doesn't fit over the ears correctly and is uncomfortably awkward. Just gets in the way.

Definite Noise Reduction
Had (naively) expected zero wind noise.Will never ride without it because it does reduce the wind noise to where I would purchase again should I ever lose it!Is a nice upgrade. Music is so much more enjoyable!
