Thanks for the review. It is great that you don't pull your shots and tell it like it is. I was going to purchase3 a set of these for my 360X3 specifically for my trike tour business but now I will give them a miss as they don't work. Oh, and as always with your posts a BIG thumbs up. Keep em' coming.

[ATTRX]

I think it still needs to be a mini-deadcat that is flush against the camera, not sitting on top of the valcrostirp. I am still looking for a solution.

[EquivalentDrive]

Thank you for the review. My X3 is externally mounted on my car and I know the wind is always a factor. Guess the foam muffs won't do jack when I'm driving over 65mph.

[notallwhowanderarelost]

YouTube just put this in my feed now, two hours after I ordered a bunch of accessories for my new X3, which WOULD have included the earmuffs if they weren’t out of stock 😆

Love your videos, btw

[Jcool]

Hi, these muffs work great in POV like in chest mount. Not good in selfie stick.

[hollowhelmet]

Thank you, you saved me money and time

[taclow]

Hi Rich, can you try another video but instead of just using those, add on each one of the muffs (either cut or full) foam covers and/or fur covers for lapel type mics?

[Sparky_D]

Years ago when i used a Contour action camera i make my own wind block with some really light weight fluffy padding stuff. It worked really well. Then i found a product by a company "wind cutter" which was excellent, but i don't think they are in business anymore

[ElrocStone]

Weird that it only uses 2 muffs for 4 microphones. Are the 2 uncovered ones adding to the noise or have you disabled them?

[RoentX]

Yeah another boo is most if not all, protective cases for the X3 leave no room for wind muffs. Maybe if someone modified it but out of the box, nope.

[ltcbio]

So not only do they not work, the made them backwards! I found that the "hook" part interferes with the rubber lens hood. They should have made the part that attached to the mike the "loop" part making putting on, and taking off the lens guard easier....

[cversion]

On the product page, they seem to market toward a motorcycle rider. But you didn’t test it at motorcycle riding speeds. I was looking at this specifically for bicycle riding (10-30mph) and this video did not help me in making a decision there. Likely, I still wouldn’t need it.

If this one location were the main or only location shot at, I could see this definitely not being viable for improving wind noise issues.

I love the quality of the video and comparisons of the audio. I just wish you had/were able to test in more situations (and I know that bears cost). Many thanks for being direct and to the point!

I can tell you the Wind Noise Reduction on the One X2 was superior to the X3. I fly Hang-gliders and I have a video where another pilot called me from his cell phone (in the air mind you) and I answered the call on my Apple Watch. With little wind noise you could clearly hear me speaking but more impressive was that you could clearly hear my friend's voice coming through the Apple Watch (FYI 360 cam was on a 1 meter carbon boom from the glider control frame, so about half meter in front and above me). Anyway, that was the One X2 which I cracked up a bit on a hard landing in Mexico. So now I've been flying with a One X3 since April and even with the wind noise reduction feature on I'm getting unacceptable wind noise. I don't know if's a firmware thing or what but I think I'm just going to try some black gaffer tape over the mics and see how it goes.

[rogerhearn]

Bought these a few days ago. They cut the wind noise a little but not enough.

[hellsguenni]

Question: the Insta360 has 3 different audio modes and 4 microphones. So I am just curious if the recording mode can be setup to use only the two mics on the side - else it makes no sense to use the adhesive muffs. Found nothing in the manual - did you try playing around with the audio recording setup? However, thanks for the review 👍

[MooSurfer]

SO disappointing!! I literally just took delivery of my X4 today and my X4 wind muffs. PAH! This is so I can speak to my viewers whilst hanggliding - which inherently has wind. I haven't even turned it on yet, but I can see I'm going to have to invest in a microphone 😞. Thanks for the review - very helpful.

[ravensoutdoor]

So not to be "that guy" but there is a 3rd mic on the X3 between the function buttons on the front. If you put a muff on this it will interfere with the 360 camera, perhaps why Insta360 don't sell a third one it the set. however why not tape over this mic and see if the muffs make a difference? The amount of noise coming through that foam sounds a bit "off" to me? The pitch and everything just sound like naked wind, perhaps through the front mic? Or I may be missing something?

[Bikepacking]

I just seen you had 2 mic muffins on it but it has 4 mic

When I proposed Wind Muff at the end of March, it was for X2/X3 or new X4.
I shared the proto type picture of Wind Muff, results of front/rear sound removal and frequency/volume analysis too.
But sales team is selling the product without knowing how it works,
And tech team is doing nothing against false ads.
