Do you have a boom mic headset for your PC? The mic for them often has a
foam cover.

I use a Plantronics M3000 in the car, but I have found that if I have the
dashboards vents angled towards my face It has the same effect as outdoor
windnoise. Of course its easier to switch off the 'wind' in the car! - but
you would think the designers would have considered this problem as these
devices are designed to improve mobility.

Try angling it downwards? Pointing it into the wind will cause all sorts of
noise. Mic too good/too sensitive Or try some other models, that point
DOWN instead of directly facing the front.

Any decent auto store should be able to provide a "sock" for you. I doubt
that they would have a specific on, but with so many different mic's in the
music industry, I'm sure that they'd find one.

Why do people use these things ... don't you realise that you look like a
member of the Borg collective?

Because some of us have to use our phones *handsfree* , and do NOT want long dangly tangle prone wires.

This is why I use a SE HBH-200 BT headset.

Because I am in enough danger of loosing my licence with the dreaded speed
camera revenue pumps, with holding my phone while driving.

I have a full car kit - I only bought the BT headset for when I am walking
etc. which is why the wind noise if so annoying.

I can't help but wonder how long the money grabbing police will take before
they start fining people with headsets in for decreasing their natural
hearing!
