Are they wind-proof, that is, do they allow wind to get into the ear?

I use them for pre- and post-season driving in my convertible. I've had no trouble with cold seeping in - including highway speeds in low 40 temps. Unsure if using them in true frigid weather would keep you warm enough - but then again, layering is always best.

these glasses don't wrap around enough to be called wind proof. they won't work for say motorcycle riding but the regular wind outside, sure they help from normal conditions.

They are not noise canceling but they do have noise isolating. In other words they will block quite a bit but not everything. I like the way they feel. I have worn them for about 4 hours for my longest stretch. My ears got slightly warm at the 4th hour.

The headphones have noise cancellation, but all that does is block out outside/ambient sound. So while they prevent outside noise from getting in, they don't stop noise from getting out. From my experience though, even when turned up loudly, it was not able to be heard by others.

These are only a windproof/water proof shell. they have very little insulating properties. I do wear mine in the winter over my insulating layers to stop the wind and they do that well.

Since no one else mentioned it, the cord on these earplugs amplifies the wind noise. It sounds like the wind howling outside a window but inside your head. They work fine for me inside a shop but I think it would be annoying if you used them for outside activities, especially riding.

Yes, these headphones go over and around the ear and seal to the sides of your head. Although they are not noise-cancelling, I find that they block out most of the ambient noise. I like these headphones a lot but they are fairly heavy.

No they are not designed to be noise canceling, however they do reduce outside noise a little because they cover your ears completely.

No, these are not waterproof. They may slow down a gentle rain but not a wind-driven rain.

No, they're made to keep you cool so the wind goes through them. They are warmer than bike shorts and with decent socks and warmer underwear warmer than bike shorts

As far as I know they are waterproof. Mine are outside in the weather and I never take them down or turn them off. So far so good!

I'm not 100% sure if they are "officially" water proof or water resistant, but I did ride with them while it was lightly raining and they seemed fine. No issues.

Hi Juan, Wearing the headphones alone, they are secure. For swimming they are in the silicone case and so don't really hook over the ears then. You can sort of put them in place, but that wouldn't be enough to hold them there. The swimcap holds everything secure with the headphones just protruding down a little [see swimming image]. Hope that makes things clear.

I wear them in the gym because the music is too loud when I take spinning and cardio classes. I would think they would block out wind noise too. They are very durable and you can wash them too. I have several pairs and have used them for a few years. Love love them.

For us yes. My boyfriend has standard issued gloves from his work that offer no wind protection. These help with that on cold windy days. But he does wear them under his work gloves not alone.

There are small vents on the sides. If the small particles are circulating around your head, it's possible dust could get in. I use them for windy dusty conditions in the desert, as I walk everywhere. They work GREAT!

My guess is that they would work OK. The ear cushions and headband are covered with a plastic that seems to resist water.
