Best touring helmet for my ultra limited
Looking for a full face that opens up, or a 3/4 that will be best for my long rides that I can talk CB/Phone and that has the best sound to listen to music etc.
Thanks!

That's as subjective as what's the best oil or tire.
I get too much helmet buffeting to wear a modular helmet when on my Ltd. but love my Schuberth C4 when I'm not.
For touring (and pretty much anytime behind the batwing) my fav 3/4 is the Shoei RJ Platinum-R. This is pretty much my go-to helmet actually.

No need for Sunglasses it has a built in sun visor that pulls down, No need for Slimy Sun screen on your face either.
For tunes I plug in my ear buds to my phone and listen to Spotify, your Neighbors will not have to cover their ears when you cruise by.
With the pin lock No fog up face shield, No Damn D ring to f--k with it has a ratchet chin strap.
I love it, I just got over Cancer and can not be in the sun any more So this Helmet helps a lot along with sun blocking arm sleeves.

I picked this one up.. for cold weather and rain it’s nice.
I chose this over other full/modular helmets due to the very, very wide viewing angle.
Some full face/modular have limited vision on the left/right sides, this one has much more visibility. If you’re like me, head is on a swivel constantly. With the bubble/curved out shield, you feel like you have more room as well.

Look at a Shoei J Cruise or Neotec II.. pricey but extremely quiet. It has to be comfortable

Seriously. They are shaped differently, and you just need one that feels fine for hours on end.
A Nolan N100-5 checks those requirements you listed and fits my head well, but that doesnt mean itll fit your head.
