I made plugs for the Linkbuds Open to reduce wind noise while biking
TL;DR I love the fit and sound of the Linkbuds Open, but couldn't use them while biking due to wind noise. Made these plugs to block it while still being able to hear street sound. Print file here
This might seem a bit counter-intuitive and something that might be specific to me... I listen to audiobooks while biking but haven't been able to use these earbuds because the wind noise drowns out most audio. Overall I love the sound quality and fit of these earbuds and don't want to use closed or in ear earbuds to keep situational awareness.
So I created these TPU plugs for the doughnut hole and it's been quite successful at blocking out wind noise, while still allowing me to hear street sounds! I tested this across the Shokz bone conduction, Bose Ultra Open and the Linkbuds + Plugs worked the best by far!
3D printed with TPU, they fit in the case without modifications and can also be taken off and left in the case when not needed.
Print and source files here if anyone wants to try them out!
