I purchased this helmet in May for a 50 day 24,000 mile motorcycle ride to 63 capitols.
The dealer now tells me that you should not ride with the shield in the raised position. I broke 3 shields by riding with them open in the first ten days.
Apparently the dealer is clueless about how hot it is in a helmet at 80-90 degrees. In the 40 years that I have been riding I have never broke a shield when riding in the raised position.
The INC is cool when it works but It usually only worked for 30-40 minutes per day and I wore the helmet for 12-14 hours per day so it was nearly worthless.
The ambient doesn't work well. The static is so loud that you cannot hear anyone talk nor could I hear my Harley run. I have to take the helmet off to pay a toll.
Both black mounting plates; which are the things that fasten to the helmet so the shield can be installed on the helmet; broke. So far I have not been able to purchase new plates or return the helmet.
The helmet was quit tight at the begining of the ride a very loose after 50 days of riding.
When you open the shield, the bottom of the helmet raises above your eyes so it is impossible to see traffic.
The sound from my GPS is perfect but I can barely hear a voice on the intercom or music.
The helmet is loud with the shield open or closed.
The sizing chart was accurate.
Seriously, you can't say integrated camera in the details and cleverly say in the comments it doesn't.. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!!
Ok, its not the most good looking helmet I've ever had, but the functionality and quality makes me simply not care. Excellent sound quality allows me to have full conversations at 120 km/h, with the caller not even noticing I'm on a motorbike. Music quality is perfect, and the auto volume adjustment based on environmental noise really does work well.
The Intelligent Noise control feature could be a bit stronger, as it really only removes the bassiest noise from the wind, which basically means I can't hear my engine as much. It's optimum speed for you to notice this noise cancelling is between 80 and 100 km/h, but after that the wind noise is just too much to overcome.
Despite measuring my head using Sena.com 's helmet sizing guide, the helmet is slightly on the small size. I think this is because Sena have chosen to make it as snug as possible around the neck and ears, which does make it a bit difficult (and sometimes painful) to remove the helmet.
All in all a very good helmet.
I especially like the noise cancelling headphones built in. It works really well at 65 mph. I generally don't drive faster than that. The music sound is pretty darn good and what you would expect for a motorcycle helmet - I have owned bluetooth helmets before. I wear glasses which steam up easily - this helmet is well ventilated. It's a really cool with the noise cancelling feature, looks good and performs well.
Love the features, but the only issue was the voice command for sena. It was difficult. I tried with a high/low voice and it was more of even tone, but tried running with it on while using it. If I had difficulty with it not moving, it would a lot harder on the road. That’s the only thing, but I wished they sold their camera helmet tho.

Description
Since 1971, HJC has specialized in manufacturing motorcycle helmets exclusively.
I had expected the INC system to actually do something with the noise. But not. Can’t hear a difference with or without above 40km/t. Can in no circumstances be compared to the Bose in-ear-noise-cancelling-system, which is about 50 times better...
The thick ear pads was to thick, so I swapped them with the thin ones; more comfortable but not thigh enough to the speakers. In some way , the speakers should have been closer to the ear. As it is now, It is too much room around the earlobes, so I will try to put in a part from a hearing protection aid to lessen the wind reaching my ears. The mic function well, but it is difficult to use voice commands above 50km/t. The integrated intercom is nice and easy to use.
I also have to question the aerodynamics of the helmet: It’s very noisy, seems to lack any form for spoiler or deflecting zones to avoid turbulence around the helmet..
After a year of use my Bluetooth battery is dead, not happy. Also the helmet is comfortable but very noisy ! If you already for a built-in bluetooth helmet I suggest look for the upper end helmets
Once you manage to put this helmet on if you can then everything is alright, more then alright. Sound quality is amazing and INC is functional and I can totally see how it can save your hearing. Build quality and material is on or about of the $150-$200 helmet, design is just ok.
Fit is important
