Problem with Audio Technica mic with Drift HD 1080

[YTStrider]

Is anyone else having problems with this combo?
I've heard some people saying that the Drift mic works better, but I don't understand why.
I have the windsock on mine, it's wrapped up and ziptied on, tucking into the cheek pad sticking out at the strap.
I have fine noise but I have heard several complaints about it being hard to hear, too quiet and muffled.
When I edit on PP, I am editing the audio to isolate my voice and I raise the levels to the point of them almost cracking and popping.
I use my earbuds on the lowest volume setting possible and they still say they can't hear well!
Please check out my videos for reference and tell me what you think.
What I want to do is add another layer of foam and maybe move it up in my face, but I'm not sure if that will even fix the problem.
I know there is too much wind noise without me adjusting, so the extra sock is necessary.
Advice please!

I actually have mine buried in the cheekpad completely on mine and it is fine, i then add the smoothing audio effect in sky Vegas to remove any highs. It took me many attempts and moving to get it in the right position in my helmet as most other riders will tell you getting audio correct almost becomes a fine art. Run a few tests with it in different areas

I've currently got it up tucked by the chin strap. the wind is unbearably loud and then my voice is muffled!!
