Are the Arai pretty quiet? For the price I hope they are about perfect |

I usually rode with my Shure EC2 headphones (noise elminating) and never had to turn my ipod past half way to eliminate all but my bike's rumble 3/4 would wash everything out. |

My biggest piece of advice with the AGV that I own is...buy earplugs. I have the XR2 Rossi replica and it is very loud.
All in all, I like the helmet. Maybe the the TiTech is quieter Arai will be my next choice

It seems like I read a helmet comparison article where they test noise levels of all the brands...if I find it I'll let you know. I think it was Motorcyclist or Sport Rider if you want to check their sites. If I'm not mistaken the Arai Quantum/Signet was the quietest. It's a balancing act tho',usually quiet=lack of vents. My AGV had excellent ventilation but was as loud as my Arai Rx7rrIII which was way loud! Good luck! Btw I've gotten some dealers to let me test ride helmets,maybe you can find one that'll let you try a helmet out before you buy...

just found an interesting link
http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcyc...lmet-noise.htm about halfway down they have mp3's of the different helmets. I listened to the AGV then the Suomy, both seemed like alot, then the Icon Mainframe...it seemed whisper quiet in comparison |
