You can you know and I do. What's needed to defeat wind noise is a small length of pipe-cleaner wrapped around the section which is just below the mic i.e. where the clear plastic tubing ends and the solid plastic section begins. This acts similar to an outdoor events microphone with a hairy cover in that it provides a wind buffer. Works fine and allows you to hear your riding companions slagging you off.
