Do you need the bluetooth built in

I've been looking at the Shoei Multitec
and Schuberth do one too

both will fit the Sena SMH-10 bluetooth comms kit ...

I got a Shoei Multitech with a Scala Rider clipped on, it works great for me.  The helmet is top quality, not cheap but worth the money.  Scala rider is the old type, 4 yrs old and still going strong.
I know you can get helmets with bluetooth built in for between £100 and £150 but the quality shows.  Depends really what sort of use your going to put it to.  For long times in the saddle I'd recommend the best quality you can afford.  I haven't tried a Schuberth C3 so can't comment on that although some seem to like them, hell of a price though.

I'm a fan of the Caberg Justissimo - mainly because I've got a Caberg shaped head.

The bluetooth module is a separate purchase, which means I've just moved it into my next lid. Battery lasts for at least two weeks of regular use, and haven't had problems pairing to my last three phones.

Find a lid that fits, and then worry about the BT - you can always add something like the Scala to a non-BT lid

cOOl.... Cheers blokes, wil start research on pricing and stuff... I want something that doesn't need to be charged every five minutes, it does my t*ts in driving down the m4 from Bristol to Sussex and getting to Reading and the battery on the BT dies!!!!  :violence-uzi:

Not a terribly cheap option, but I love my Nolan N90 and can be fitted with the N-Com unit (I have a starcom instead)

if you are on facebook - look up SMH10
like their page and they run regular competitions giving away 10-20 units a month

I had a bash and won a dual set worth £350!

so far so good - have called people and they can't hear any background noise

it will also link to Sat Nav and mp3 player (I think it plays stereo) and you can control tracks etc from unit - works on my blackberry!

not tried long distance trip yet or bike to bike but gets good reviews
