31. This helmet will save my hearing

    Posted by Keith Arcilla on 20th Nov 2015

    I received the new helmet about an hour or so ago... I went for a ride and instantly I was amazed and very impressed with the results. With my tinnitus, I used to get headache after short or long rides... This helmet will save my hearing and I will be able to enjoy ridding again... You have a great product and I advise everyone to get this helmet before you lose your hearing....
    
    I thank you and my family surely thanks you!

32. It's almost too good to be true

    Posted by Justin Wheeler on 29th Oct 2015

    A few weeks ago, I received my Quiet Ride Helmets helmet. My immediate reaction was positive. It's lighter than my current helmet, has way more features, and comes way better equipped in general. Then I put it on my head. It fit perfectly. I used the pump to squeeze some air into the helmet. Immediately, my wife, sitting beside me became silent. She hadn't stopped talking; the helmet had stopped me
    from hearing it.
    
    Since that day, I've worn the helmet a quiet a bit and ridden in all sorts of conditions: sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy, dark, light, cold, warm. And the helmet has performed amazingly.
    
    I don't think you can really explain just how quiet this helmet is. At 80mph it's still incredibly quiet. At this speed, my old leading brand helmet sounded like I was in a wind tunnel behind a jet engine.
    
    I had also put a very expensive bluetooth module in my previous helmet. Its sound quality was absolutely abysmal compared to my quiet ride helmet. This is where the quiet ride helmet actually surprised me. I
    did not expect built-in speakers to sound this good. (Part of my problem may be that I had to jack the volume to the top in the old bluetooth kit to overcome the noise of my old helmet, whereas in the Quiet Ride, I don't have to go anywhere near max volume to hear my music at top speed on the highway.)
    
    At its price point, feature set, and what it comes with, my Quiet Ride helmet absolutely destroys the competition in value, price, and quality. There are cheaper helmets, but they're terrible. There are way more expensive helmets, and they pale in comparison to this thing.
    
    It's almost too good to be true.
    
    My only qualms are minor. There are three of them. First, with the helmet strap adjusted the way I like it, it's almost fully tight. This leaves the adjustment strap flapping in the wind. This can (and will) be fixed with an elastic band or something simple, but something on the helmet would've been helpful. Second, I'd have liked it if the helmet had a stay position on the visor where I could leave the visor mostly closed, but just a few mm open for air circulation in warm weather. Finally, removing/switching the visors isn't as easy as I'd like. I've
    gotten better at it over time, but still not perfect.
    
    All in all, this helmet is absolutely amazing. It's comfortable, it's unbelievably quiet, the sound is good, it's light, and it comes feature-packed.
    
    Quiet Ride Helmets has made a lifetime customer out of me (and I suspect many of my friends are going to follow suit).

33. It's the real thing!

    This Quiet Ride helmet does exactly what it says it will do....give you a quiet ride. You will notice it immediately when you slip the helmet on....all sounds are eerily muffled, something I'm definitely not used to! As a matter of fact, I found such a vast improvement in cutting down outside noises that I did not even find it necessary to pump the muffs up at all. The first thing I did was hook up my Ipod and ,holy mackeral, what a difference having the speakers nestled into the ear muffs makes....much clearer plus now I can crank it only 1/2 way up vs destroying my eardrums, like I used to do. Complaints about the strap being too long and flapping was taken care by velcro and also negated by the best ratchet buckle system I've ever seen. No more fumbling gloves trying to buckle a helmet, now it's just a sweet click! A gripe I do have is not having an integrated internal visor, but this was balanced by a smoke tinted shield, included, which I replaced the clear shield with. I love how this helmet muffles my m109r causing it to sound even sweeter to me now. No more ear buds and plugs falling out as my helmet goes on. No more ears being blasted by road noise or music set at decibels way too high thing to overcome all of the wind noise! This helmet makes me want to get on my 109 and just keep on riding!!!!!

34. Quiet

    Posted by Dale on 25th Sep 2015

    First ride I set the volume on my iPhone playing music before starting the ride. I heard the music clearly without adjusting the volume as I rode around town (up to 50 mph). I think the noise at 50 mph with this helmet is like 20 mph with my old helmet. So I am quite satisfied.
    There are some things to be improved. The quick release on the chinstrap is great, but there should be a snap or Velcro to keep the loose end from flapping. The website should have a utube type video on changing the visor. Also, I suggest that a choice of visor for the one that comes with the helmet be offered.
    

35. Very Pleased Customer

    Posted by Mark on 21st Sep 2015

    I had been looking for a quiet helmet for almost a year. I ride a Yamaha FZ-07 and the wind noise at highway speeds is deafening. When listening to music I had to have the volume at max. The Quiet Ride Helmet does what it claims.Wind noise is significantly reduced and I can hear my music even at low volumes.
    
    I was even pleasantly surprised that they even included the smoke shield.

36. Awesome noise suppression!

    I noticed that Quiet Ride were releasing helmets this year and I wanted to give it a try. In the not-so-distant past, I've always loved riding long distances. However nowadays, noise just seems to wear me out. With the new Quiet Ride full face carbon fiber helmet, I'm enjoying long rides once again.
    NOTE: I would have given the helmet 5 stars if I would have been able to order a modular helmet. Maybe you could work out a deal with ROOF helmets.. if so, let me know!
