Default Full Face Helmet Question

I am thinking about getting a full face helmet. After trying on several of them I like the Shoei TZR. What I was wondering is if anyone has one of these and how did it work out putting the HD headset in it.

I have a Shoei TZR and it is great, I bought it about 3 months ago, I have had several Shoei's over the years and they seem to fit me better than HRC or KBC brands. Sorry, but I have not put the headset in yet.

Give the Arai helmetsa hard look. Pricey, but the best quality going.

I read the tzr is a very quiet helmet vs the arai.

I have a scorpion for those cold or rainy days. I think it's almost as comfortable asmy last arai but a lot cheaper.

I Really like the KBC they are great deal for the money. Fit is as good as my ARAI. Venting is better though. I have never installed a intercom in one though.

Nolan works best for me - J&M audio works well too. N-102 flip-up.

What I have done to my Harley headset is to change out the speakers. I tried the J&M but did not have good luck with them although they were a big improvement over the HD. I wound up getting some Sony headphones and using them, which works great sound wise. Cost was $22.00. I am curious to know haow the boom mike is used witht he full face.

I can second the fact about a scorpion helmet I have the exo 700 and 400 with speakers they work fine.

I've got the Nolan 102 flip-face w/ the HD headset installed and it works great. I like the Nolan vs my other helmets to include Arai. Just works better for me with flip-up face, sun shield, quick ratchet buckle, etc. Installing HD headset was a snap and it works quite well. Just my 2 cents...
