I have some headphones with ANC and they have a flaw: if ANC is enabled, and if there's some wind (it doesn't even have to be strong), the ANC ends up amplifying wind noise, because it hits the microphones disproportionally hard. (this is very loud and nasty) This effect is neutered by wearing a hood on top of the headphones, but this is not practical during hot summers because it's fucking hot.
So I think I may try to glue some shit on top of them, but it needs to only stop wind but let other sounds pass normally, in order to let ANC work as intended. Do you have any good advice for that?
Also how do I identify the microphones locations? Are they under both arrows on the photos?
Did any of you do similar shit or not?
This particular model is Sennheiser PXC 480.

Stuff it with some cotton ball.
Don't pack it, just put a bit in.
do you mean this shit? en.wikipedia.org

Just turn off the noise cancellation. That's unnecessary for even low volumes.
He said get some cotton (you know, regular cotton), then put it in there. Do not squeeze it in.
Nah it's a very good shit when it works as intended.
Which one is regular?
Your preferred cotton brand. You're over-thinking this.
I think you fell for a marketing gimmick bud.

probably gluing something similar on them could work
I'd glue a tiny patch of fur on top of it. The kind you can buy for microphones. You could experiment with the fur length and cut some off with scissors. That's the only solution that's really working for wind noise.
