I am looking at getting a pair of these :http://www.cat-ears.com/Classics-I.html. As the wind both natural and generated by my ride really bothers my ears (they hurt at the end of a ride) but I don't want to use ear plugs. In the winter I have a headband but it's really too hot for that now plus it affects my helmet's fit. Has anyone tried them or something similar?

No, I haven't. But I as well have inquired about such a product and was pointed to the same product. When you ride, hold your index finger up against the front strap of your helmet and you will notice an immediate drop in noise. Seems simple enough. So simple that it also seems like you could craft such an item to suit the need as well.0

I haven't personally, but a coworker of mine who's a cyclist tried them. He was supremely unimpressed. He kept them on for a couple of months and then trashed them. YMMV, of course.0

So any suggestions about how to protect my ears from wind? The most common recommendation seems to be ear plugs but I don't want to be unable to hear. Unfortunately not riding when it's windy isn't an option. It's always windy.0

They're actually quite tasty and chock full of vitamin C.0

I have "ear wind" too. I wear wireless headsets that keep the wind wistling at a lower speed. They don't cover the noise of say vehicle traffic, pedestrian/cycle traffic. Try those but keep them unplugged of any music?0
