If you're going to call "Dupe" on someone's thread, you should provide a link to the original thread.

 

I also have a Schuberth C3 for me and the wife and it is an expensive piece. I can also tell you that the C3 fits very snug and is not really designed for oval heads, it's designed for a rounder head. I had to do quite a bit of work inside the shell to make it comfortable but it finally is at the point where It's tolerable. If you fit the C3 with head-sets and speakers this adds to discomfort and requires added fitting so they don't bother your ears. Just an FYI about the C3! Noise level is good and airflow is decent. One thing I do like about the C3 is the stability of the head when the helmet is fully closed. It's very still and has no buffeting whatsoever. I also like the ratchet type chin strap. If you have a more oval head, I would go with the Shoei Neotech.
Either the C3 or the Neotech are pretty much the top of the food chain when it comes to modular helmets. It a matter of fit at this price point.

 

Shoei has a corporate office in Tustin by the 57 I believe.

3002 Dow Ave, Tustin, CA 92780

 

Road noise is dramatically worse with my FF compared to my half. But my FF is not high end by any means. I only put up with it in really cold weather. YMMV.

 

I have a Sena setup on my Shoei Quest full face. If I wear the orange foam squishy earplugs the Sena sounds great for phone and music even up to 85 mph. Also stopped the headaches I get from engine drone.

I like hearing what is going on around me when riding, it has saved my @ss a few times...

 

Earplugs bro. Your hearing will thank you later in life.
