If you have the best of windshields!! yes - then "There is a slight
improvement in resistance to wind noise with omni's," - but as is obvious,=
most people don't have very good windshields.
I know lots of people going on these birding trips to different countries
using only a 10 mm electret
omnis with a minimum of foam around it. No problem. The ones having
directional mic's have problems all the time.
It follows out of the design, where directional mic's always have openings=
also to the back of the membrane.
