Next time while riding extend your "pointer finger" in front of your ear and against the cheek strap and notice the reduction in noise. I've made "cotton pointer fingers" about the same width then spray painted the cotton black and attached them to the straps with Velcro or thin strips of tape. Not too "dorky looking" and works.

The use of headphones, etc against the law here in FL. --- https://floridacyclinglaw.com/blog/a...headphones-law
