It's normal because inherently this needs to take sound input from the microphones and invert it. So if you have wind against the microphone, you are getting inverted wind noise which is audible.

The Galaxy Buds Pro have a wind shield and are better at this than others (and I think the new Buds 2 Pro also although I haven't tested it). They are better than any other TWS I have, like the Buds+, Buds2, or Sony XM4.

While these are better at it, they still probably have more noise with ANC on if moving, than just having it off. There will still be the occasional whoosh from the wind.

I would question the advisability of using ANC while biking, for me it's the opposite, I would use the transparency mode because I want to hear around me, but the wind shield also affects that. Transparency is sort of usable while biking with the Buds Pro, but totally unusable with other stuff, it's just constant static.

This totally makes sense, thank you!
I decided I'll adjust the controls on my earphones so I can easily tap out of the noise cancellation while biking.

Passive isolation over ANC. Shure TW2 + negative profile, deep insertion IEMs (like SE846) + Shure olive foam tips. It'll block everything out and then you can use transparency to let sound back in.

This post has been removed. Please note the following rule:

>Rule 2: Ask purchase help questions in the Shopping and Setup Help Desk found at https://reddit.com/r/headphones/about/sticky > >Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping and Setup Help Desk found at /r/headphones/about/sticky instead of a new post.

You may also use r/headphoneadvice but please search their resources and familiarize yourself with their rules first before posting.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

  • A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

  • Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

  • Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?

What if the link doesn't work?

  • The post can usually be found on the top r/headphones, and titled Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk.
