I need to update my posting about the bell qualifier helmet I own.
I had posted that it was the noisiest helmet I ever owned and that I would not have purchased the helmet had I known about the noise issues.
I need to rescind this review. Due to the fact that I made an intereting discovery the other day.
I pulled all the liners and padding out of the helmet for cleaning and discovered that the foam around the left ear piece was broken. This is where I was experiencing the most
annoying wind noise. I had no idea! And I never even thought about pulling the liner and padding out of the helmet when I received it, in order to give it a good inspection.
So the wind noise I reported was not a design flaw. It was a manufacturer, distributer or shipping issue.
I now know just how thoroughly I need to inspect my next helmet.
My bad Bell.
I'll give you another shot on my next helmet purchase. Since I do like the weight, shape, fit and venting.
 
Haven't tried the actual Bluetooth helmets but I do use a scala rider g9x on my shoei RF-1200. It functions as rider to rider com, music from phone, Siri control, and am/fm radio along with a few other features like being able to connect up to eight riders at once. It's a little pricey ($300) but I would say it was worth it. Especially if you go riding with someone else who has one.

It goes on and in(mic and speakers) most helmets.
 
I have a Shark Speed R that I wear. Very comfortable, has a built in sunvisor and the red and black colors match my cr, 1000rr and daily rider 250r.
