Best Full Face Helmet to use the Boom Headset
I have tried installing the boom headset in to 3 full face helmets, and none of them are really comfortable. The ear pieces stick out so far that they put pressure on the ears of all 3 riders. Any thoughts on what the best full face helmet is for using the boom headset? I don't see any that specifically call out that feature. Seems like the helmet needs a deeper cut out to accommodate the speakers.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have a Arai Access II FF. AFAIK most Arai helmets, like mine, have space for headset speakers. I don't even know they're there. The mic just slips in from under your chin... extremely comfortable.

The Harley (HJC) modular helmet has cutouts for the earpieces but I'm not really recommending the helmet. There is not a lot of room at the chin guard for the mic and the helmet seems quite noisy to me. Not sure if that's the general consensus.

That's a problem with a lot of helmets. I ended up taking a holesaw a razor knife and a wood chisel and forming pockets in the EPS in the ear-pockets of my helmets. I'm sure the helmet manufacturers would frown on that course of action.

what headset do you have? Can you post some photos of with the ear pads in and out and some of the mic fitted? I have an RXQ and would like something like that.
