headphones & wind noise



Hello -

I spent today recording sound on an island in Boston Harbor, and I'm
hoping someone can suggest a solution to deal with wind noise around
the cups of my headphones.
How about a fuzzy hat on top? Like a watch cap, or at worst say one
of the Russian rabbit fur caps. Imagine it as like a Zeppelin for your
head. It would probably be fiercely hot in Boston, though.

I might add that this is another advantage of the Etymotic in-ear phones.


The recordings are clean, but I'd love to find something that would
reduce the amount of wind noise that whines and whistles around my
ears. I do recordings on the coast three or four times a year, and
this problem drives me nuts. Can't hear properly, can't tell if I just
captured this or that low-level sound, driving the HP amp hard doesn't
help, etc. I've tried HP's from AKG, Sennheiser, Sony, the list goes
on.

So, does anybody make a "Windjammer for cans?" Anyone have a
work-around?
