This is my first communicator and so far it's been great! Install was a snap on a Shoei Neotec modular helmet.
The speakers were exactly what I was looking for. I've used ear-buds for years but they never fit quite right or they would pull out part way and make it uncomfortable.
The bluetooth paired right up to my Droid 3 and works great with Iheart radio app. I had the helmet open when the wife called and she said she could hear a little wind but I was clear even at 40 mph.
I'm going to buy another for her helmet now and I'll be able to test out the intercom ability, but I don't expect a problem.
Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet Evolving on previous designs, Shoei has revamped its modular helmet style with a streamlined and attractively sculpted shape that conveys the feel of freely moving through the outdoors in the Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet. Overall shell size is kept compact by incorporating the internal sun visors open/close mechanism inside all ventilation mechanisms are shaped and positioned in such a way as to reduce any possible drag. A redesigned aerodynamic spoiler also helps to cut lift, reducing neck strain on long, cross country rides. In the Shoei Neotec all these features combine to create a premium helmet that excels in appearance, protection, comfort and performance. The Shoei Neotec Helmets chin bar is connected to the same axis point and mechanism as its shield, minimizing extra parts. This also enables simultaneous closing of the shield with the chin bar, which is then held in place with an easy-open lock release button. The shield lock system offers secure closure or the ability to keep the shield slightly open to allow for increased airflow. With the Shoei Neotec Helmet, Shoei now includes a built-in sun shield, the QSV-1. The visor tucks neatly away beneath a non-intrusive shell built into the helmets liner, and can be lowered with the easy control of a sliding button.

I picked up the NEOTEC 2 weeks ago to replace an older ICON full face helmet. The SHOEI fit's per their sizing guideline which put me in a large and my other helmet was an XL.
For me this helmet is just a little louder than my previous one but I think it's more attributed to my riding position and windshield positioning (riding an 08 Concours 14). I also do not wear earplugs like many do.
The visor removes quickly and is replaced just as fast. The Pin-Lock insert is great too! This is the first time I've had a fog insert and it's exactly what I've needed riding home from work on colder mornings.
The internal sun visor works as advertised and without a hitch.
Now to save up for a communicator and we'll see how that fits into this helmet in the precut speaker pockets.
