| I received my order very promptly. I really like the helmet. The bluetooth works pretty well. The only use I have applied is connection to my phone. I do not have a second helmet to try the driver/passenger communication. As most modulars there is wind noise but not significant. I had read a previous review that said the helmets run a little small so I ordered one size larger. I do wish I had stayed with the original size because the larger size is actually a little to big for my head. The dual visor works really well and comes in very handy for the bright sun. I also like the design, however the helmet does scratch pretty easily. Don't know if you could get a good hard sealer for it or not but I would recommend doing so as soon as you get the helmet. |

| I received this helment today, yes Saturday delivery from FEDEX at no charge. My other helmets are LG, but I ordered XL for this one because of the Bluetooth ear gear. It fits perfectly. Looks great, not too heavy and very comfortable. I will PAIR the Bluetooth tomorrow. The battery box was a challenge to find. You need to remove the rear lower trim pad (back neck area) and you will see it. It only took about 1.5 hrs to fully charge. The price is great and I really like the Aviator sun visor with this South TX sun. HIGHLY recomend this Modular Helmet !! |

| Really like the helmet. The front flap is awesome for cold weather. It really keeps the air from blowing up inside the helmet. The noise-cancelling mic seemed to work fanstatic. Even while riding at highway speeds the party I am talking to cannot tell I am even on a bike. The only downside to the helmet is it was very difficult for me to hear whom I am talking to at highway speeds. If the volume went a little bit higher, I would be completely satisfied. My bike doesn't even have the loud pipes on it. If it did, I think I would not be able to hear with it at all. |

| I ride everyday and wanted to get this helmet to add some comfort on my ride to work. I have owned the same helmet without Bluetooth for the last year and a half, and loved it so much that I bought this one!
I have had this model for about a month now and am a bit disappointed in it. First and foremost, the volume is not very loud, and after about 30 miles an hour I can not even hear it. The stitching on the left side pad is already starting to come loose. The snaps that hold the right pad on do not snap at all, so when you put the helmet on, the enire right side has to be readjusted so that it is not in your face. Also, the extended chin cover is too long and not removable. When the helmet is flipped up, the chin cover can fall down and obstruct vision while driving.
The helmet is very solid, and does very well with noise reduction while at highway speeds. Thae graphics are cool, and I always get lots of comments on it. The dual visor is in my opinion, the absolute best feature on this helmet! I work odd hours in the military and it is great not to have to change out lenses from clear to dark. The quick connect chin strap feature they added in this model is nice too. All and all, I would recommend this helmet. |

| Overall I'm really pleased with the combination of features and price, but I can only give this helmet 4 stars. PROS: Its very comfortable, lightweight, and I love the modular option when I need it. I also love the seat belt style chin strap instead of the D rings. I love the graphics, and the fighter pilot lens is very handy on sunny AZ days. Still using it in Nov. I like the microphone mounted in the L side cheek padding, as its out of the way, and even when the face is flipped up I can be on a call.
Cons: (1) The fighter pilot lens is distorted near the nose area, so I have to tip my head down to see w/o distortion. Not a real big deal, just kind of annoying. And the lens isn't dark enough to really block the full glare. I'm going to put some tint over it to solve that problem. (2) The helmet ventilation is terrible. I will not wear this helmet in the summer. (3) Biggest issue with the communication system is volume. I ride with a windshield and do tons of freeway commuting, I really wanted a helmet that I could make calls on, not just listen to music. I have a samsung smart phone. I am told that I sound clear to everyone, but I can't understand what they say back me. I can hear most of my music just fine, but over 40 mph even with a windshield I can't understand a cell phone caller at all through the stock speakers! Its just not loud enough, and the voice isn't clear. (4) Another annoying bit is that the speakers sit in a pocket right on the chin strap, so when the helmet and buckled the speakers sit at a 45 deg angle to my ears, and they dig a little. It would not be a big deal if they were clear and loud at highway speeds, but they aren't.
TO SOLVE the problem cheaply I'm going to keep the helmet and re-wire some earbuds to a 2.5 mm male plug for each ear. The stock speakers have a built in 2.5 mm female connection. I bought some 2.5 mm male plug adapters online and will wire those to some earbuds so I can plug them in and test them with the stock set up. That should solve the problem of not being able to hear on a phone call, and since I'm on my ride for an hour plus each way I expect it will be worth the hassle.
If hawk reads this review please tell me of a way that I can boost the volume even if sacrifices battery life. |

| This is a super great helmet. I did not think it would be with others saying the road noise above 30mph was bad, but that is not the case for mine. I don't know if they just did not use the chin flap but I get good sound and transmission all around 5X5. And the venting is really good. This is the helmet to get and you can't beat the price. I'm getting another one for my rider and already gave away my other helmet. I will not go back to any none blutooth or aftermarket add on Bulky bluetooth helmet. The controls are easy to use and mate with your cell or other devices. |

| Nice helmet for the money. Blue tooth is nice but useless above 30mph due to the wind noise. Below 30 it works great. The helmet is comfortable, the blast shield is nice and the modular works great. intercom bike to bike is nice as long as the following distance is less than about 30 meters and the speed is below 30. |
