My full face finally gave up the ghost. I want a modular, and possibly something I can bluetooth some music into.

Any suggestions?  I can't find crap here to look at.  I'll likely have to order one.

I don't like modulars right now, it's a good idea, but I've heard of a lot problems with them ripping the chin bar off if you go down..  I would suggest just sticking to a good full face for now until the modular tech gets more advanced and they fix those issues.

I don't have a link, but I have seen complaints about it on the ADV forums and a bunch of other forums.

I love the concept and idea of a modular...but I have yet to find one that I actually like wearing.

I like my current one, but it's old. I'm not concerned about the shield integrity.  I wear a skid lid the rest of the year.

I just bought my wife a Nolan N-103 Saturday and she really likes it.  Most flip-up helmets are going to be heavier and maybe noiser than a good quality regular full face but the Nolan fits her well.  She says it's quiter than her old Shoei RF900 and more comfortable.  I wear an Arai Profile, I never found a flip-up that was comfortable on my head.

We use the Sena bluetooth headsets for intercom, music and phone.  They work very well and do everything we bought them for.

The Sena is good for music?  I was looking at the Vega V-Tune, but reviews said it sounds like crap.

It's as good as any I've found.  It's hard to get much bass from those speakers at speed.  I've used ear buds that work pretty well but I don't want to fool with wires and these are good enough for me.

That's my thought.  I've had ear buds fall out, which is annoying.   Maybe i'll give the Sena a look. Thanks!

Too much chance of failures. I use a Scala Q2 with speakers paired with phone or itouch.

Webbikeworld.com has a few reviews. There are even some reviewed modular helmets for sale cheap on there.

Shoei, AGV, Nolan, and a few others have models now. I've always been a shoei guy because they fit my head the best...

Try a Caberg Konda.  Ear pockets already set up for aux. speakers.

Modular lids are a tradeoff against full face, however, you have to decide if the benefit out weighs the potential (minor) of teh front popping open in a crash.

IME, I've seen more than a few pics of modulars that got crashed and stayed intact, yet no pics of the ones that failed.

Looks interesting.  Can you get it in the US?  the only review I saw said they had no plans to import it.
