Quietest Helmet

I've got some like these. I can hear my keys rattle, I can hear people
talking, but I can't hear the loud wind noise when bimbling along.

Shoei have moulded Pink & Fluffy earmuff fitting points to all of
their new black helmets* due to demand from customers.

I think one of the reports said that was the weak point of helmet noise
reduction, that they could do more to put in active noise reduction ear
muffs inside with decoupling from the helmet shell.

But yeah about the same as a car with windows up, with earplugs in, just
makes me feel a bit detached.

 

Just go around at motorway speeds for a few years and you won't need
them.

 

But then (a) the helmet wouldn't work as a helmet anymore and (b) you
would still have to deal with the noise transmitted straight through
your skull. Most of the noise you don't hear in the usual sense, it is
conducted through the solid structure.
