For many earbud users, it is important that you can be heard when calling outside. That is why we have made recordings of the same set of earplugs with and without wind as an indication.

Increasing expectations

Sometimes people have high expectations of the microphone of earphones in a lot of wind. It is best to remember that even high-end smartphones from reputable brands are still having difficulty dealing with windy situation. Nonetheless, if the person you are talking with over the phone is using a smartphone or an earphone in an area where the windy is pretty gusty, one way or the other, you'll hear that gusty wind on your end.

Another example is the microphone of a camera crew that makes recordings outside. The sound engineer always has a long stick with a gigantic microphone with him. Outside, they tend to use a foam cover for the microphone to eliminate wind noise.

Okay, having said that to dampen expectations a bit. Let's quickly hear the difference between earbuds with and without the wind noise.

Take the SoundPEATS Truengine 3 SE for example. This is a fragment without wind.
