When I ride with the pod on low, it actually seems like I can hear traffic better at speed. The buds cut down or eliminate the wind noise enough to improve the hearing for ambient sound. Sounds crazy I know, but it seems to be the case.

I do want to find [or invent] something to decrease wind noise. I have a couple 30+ sections every day and the wind seems very harsh[loud] against the eardrums.

I tried the slipstreams a while back... didnt work very well at all.
