every time when i ride my bike, wind and air keeps making noise in my headphone...
this is a simple (30 minute) way to stop it with tools you probably have in your house!

first of all, this is my first instructable, so any critisism is good, as long as its helpfull for me :)
second, im not responible for any damage you, your property, or anyone (including aliens and your imaginary friends) else suffers from this instructable.
third, START!

materials:
duck-tape (or something similar)
headphone of your choice (i used my lowrider skullcandy for this, the headgear already broke, so i replaced that already)

tools:
small screwdriver
sharp knife (mostly the point) or scissors

no, dont take your hammer, you dont need it! (remember the tools!)
first, take off the speaker section from that headband (vague huh?)
then, locate all the screws and unscrew it. gently pull it apart, this shouldnt be to hard (unless theres a click connection, put your smalles flathead under it and take it apart then)

This isn't really a "noise cancelling headphone" but it does illustrate how to reduce outside noises in an existing set of headphones.

Another tip to add into this process is to take some low density foam (soft and squishy, pillow foam is the first thing to come to mind.) and fill the cup behind the speaker. This would further reduce outside noise levels from wind. (I had to do this to my motorcycle helmet because the wind noise was so bad.)
