Scott, I've been experiencing the exact problems you outlined. I have a couple of questions: 1) What is a "windsock" for microphones, and where can I get them? 2) What suggestions do you have for mounting the mic next to your lips? It is currently mounted 2" away on the inside of the mouth guard, which picks up all the pumper noise. Is there a secret, or do I just fab a little gismo for it?
The earpieces is something I've already planned to do. Thanks for you input.
