So I bought a pair of Cat Ears and overall, I have been very happy with them. I would say they cut the wind noise 50%-70%. They work best when my helmet strap is snug against the side of my head. They don't work nearly as well with a looser strap.

Two minor complaints.
1) They are goofy looking
2) They smelled like cigarette smoke when I got them but washed them with soap and water and that fixed that

Overall grade A-
That would really gross me out.
