Schuberth's are a bit heavy and a bit expensive. But, you'll probably be happy with it. I like mine.

No, I am not cool.  Yes, it really is the journey.

Actually, they're damned expensive.  So far I love it!

How are these trendy spendy lids on wind noise? As a rule, I find that the cheeper full face helmets make MORE wind noise than riding bare headed or with a half lid. I only wear 'em when it's cold out. Also, I can't get mine on and have it work with ear budz, so no toonz :(

IMO the Schuberth is kinda noisy.  Many folks think it is the quietest modular helmet on the market, but I have not tested all of them.

A lot depends on your windshield. Mine is pretty short so the bike is kinda noisy at speed. A taller windshield would be much quieter (think LT or Goldwing).

Yeah Chaos - didn't mean to rain on yer parade, that IS a pretty spiffy lookin' lid. I just wish I could find one that's not noisy, and maybe even has built in headphones - there's Gotta be one out there.

This is my 5th modular since my first BMW system 1 back in 85.  Including system 2, Schoei, & Caberg.  With the C3 pro Schuberth addressed noise and comfort issues with the C3.
It is by far the comfiest and quietest helmet I ever owned, right out of the box.  I must have a Schuberth XXL head shape. There is still some noise, but it's so muted it's eerie. And I can ride with the visor shut, the included pinlock lives up to it's hype.  20F and it only fogs at stoplights.  Clears up soon as I get moving.  My Caberg I had to leave the visor cracked and froze my face. Never would have spent so much on a lid but this was a gift, it would be really hard to go back to a "normal" helmet.  No interest in communication systems so can't comment about that.  No guarantees it will work for anyone else, but I like it.  And I've got enough crunched helmets on my shelf I rarely venture out bareheaded.

Congrats on the Christmas present; nice helmet.  I currently use a Shoei Multitec modular helmet.  It can be noisy but I did discover that the noise is significantly reduced if I wear a scarf or my WWII RAF flight jacket with the large collar when riding.  This cuts the air from entering around my neck.  Obviously, these two solutions only work in cool riding conditions.
