Overall really nice helmet. Well built with a nice looking design. It is snug, like others have said, but I’ve grown to like the fit. It takes a little force to get it on/off, I won’t lie, but once it’s on, it is quite comfortable. It needs to be snug and make a good seal around the neck and cheeks though, in order to block out wind and external noise and help the acoustics, which it does nicely. Keep in mind that the helmet breaks in after wearing it a bit too, so it only gets more comfortable with time.
Sound quality for music is pretty good but it doesn’t have much bass at all. So just be aware of that. None of the communicator systems out on the market right now have good bass. Aside from that though, this is a top notch communicator from an industry leader, Sena. It’s basically a 10S communicator that’s built into the helmet and it offers crystal clear sound on phone calls and intercom, great features such as FM radio and voice control, well thought out controls that are easy to use, and phenomenal battery life.
The big difference between the Momentum Lite and the regular Momentum is that the latter allows you to connect to 8 total riders in group intercom mode (lite only does 4) and it has audio multitasking which allows you to listen to music (at a lower volume in the background) simultaneously while you talk over the intercom (lite cannot do this). I personally think this is a really nice feature. But the Momentum is more expensive, so...
My only real gripe about this helmet is the lack of airflow and cooling. The vents on top and bottom don’t do much at all. I live in Florida so on a hot day, my head does get warm. But with all the other features built into a quality helmet, I can live with it. At this price point, you’re getting a lot of bang for the buck. Good helmet with an excellent built in communicator.
I really like this helmet. It’s really quite considering I can from a cheap fly racing helmet. The quality of music isn’t the best I’ve ever heard but considering your going down the freeway at 70 it’s still really good. The biggest thing I’ve noticed is there is there is almost no wind drag on the helmet even when you turn your head to look over your shoulder. I have a little more of a round head so it’s a little snug around the cheek and chin area but it’s not uncomfortable. All in all I would definitely buy again
DO NOT BUY this unless you want to put your helmet on and sit down in your living room with the other person, on the bike YOU CAN NOT HEAR anything, there is no isolation whatsoever and my mic already stopped working !
As others report, this helmet is very, very tight. Even though I ordered XL it hurt my ears to remove it. I initially decided to return it but the seller wanted me to pay return shipping and a restocking fee even though it was shown as Amazon Prime and still in mint condition. Amazon offered to refund the shipping costs but I ultimately decided to keep it because the Bluetooth speakers are very good and it is a very quiet helmet. After some use it is getting easier to put on and remove and I’m pretty satisfied with the helmet. Not so much with the seller. I did not have problems with keeping the face shield partially open as other have reported. I have struggled to get SERI to consistently work using voice commands and you must press and hold a button to perform all functions. The more expensive model offers some voice control as I understand it.
I was right on the high side from sena's size chart for a medium. Last two helmets I purchased were a large and one of them is starting to feel a bit to loose so I thought I'd go with their size chart and order a medium. It barely went over my head. I had to return it, if it was easier to get on and snug I would have waited for it to break in but it was crazy difficult to pull on and off. No large were available otherwise I would have exchanged for a larger.
Experts say most of us ride with helmets too large but this was crazy tight to get your head through.

Description
The LS2 Helmets Metro V3 modular motorcycle helmet is one of the most innovative flip-up style helmets ever developed. The chin bar has four large adjustable intake vents. Opening them gives you ventilation similar to an MX helmet for those tours through the hot desert. Close them up for the cooler temperatures of the high altitudes. The Metro V3 includes a removable MX style peak for the ultimate in on-road/off-road designs. Our lightweight, aerodynamic shell is made from LS2's proprietary Kinetic polymer alloy (KPA) - 3 shell sizes to allow for a perfect fit and the smallest shell possible. A full metal latch assures the chin bar will stay locked when closed, and a solid detent at the top so it won't drop unexpectedly. There's an additional locking switch that allows you to lock the chin bar in the open position. The Metro V3 is dual homologated as both a full face and an open face design. The Metro V3 uses our Twin shield system drop down sun shield. Its cable-operated switch is smooth, and easy to use even with a gloved hand. The removable, washable comfort padding uses -form" technical fabric and is easy to keep as fresh as new. Our cheek pads use ultra-high quality foam that is cut to shape using LS2's 3D laser technology. A DOT approved quick release chinstrap makes it a breeze to get the helmet off and on your head. Our designers at our world headquarters in Barcelona, Spain interviewed touring riders, adventure riders and commuters, and then set out to design the ultimate in a modular style motorcycle helmet. Built in our own factory for the best value on the market. Long oval fit. Meets or exceeds DOT certification.
Product was not new as stated! Scratches on helmet couldn’t get it to pair , couldn’t get it to work with other riders called company and they said you just have to keep trying and offered no assistance.
Can't complain however this is my first helmet so take my rating with a grain of salt since I have nothing else to compare it too. However works beautifully
Very cool product. Wish it had more padding around the eyes.
As far as helmets go it is average. But for the price and the Bluetooth paired with phone, and built in radio you get way bang for your buck. Great buy !!
