Hey all,

I'm in the market for a new helmet. I suffer from tinnitus and it is currently far more noticable after a long ride, especially motorway miles (wind noise).

After doing some research the current Schuberth SR1 seems to come pretty highly rated for low noise. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Obviously, I'd need to see if it fits before I buy...

Sorry, I forgot to mention I use earplug always anyway! I can't ride without them.

I was reading about the S2 but some said there was quite a bit of buffeting from underneath: http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/s...

Maybe they weren't using the chin curtain though.

So, After trying the Schuberth S2 it didn't fit amazingly well, also I haven't heard the best things about it noise wise and then it turned out you couldn't fit a Sena to it. So I ended up buying a Shoei GT Air, which, after my HJC, is much nicer in every way. It is also quieter than before.

I feel like we should change the earplugs things to IWE (I wear earplugs), or IAWE (I always wear earplugs!)
