Anyone using any of the Nolan helmets with the built it blue tooth? I am wonder how well the work with cell phone communication and GPS as well as how high the volume goes on the units. I also wonder how much wind noise the new Nolan modular helmets have compared to the regular full face ones. Thanks guys!

I have a new N103 flip helmet.
The only difference I can see from the 102 is that the sun visor is internal rather than external.
It would have to be THE noisiest helmet I have ever owned...even noisier than my open face...
Maybe it's just the way it fits around my neck but I think it is because there is no seal from the visor down to the base of the helmet.
So, maybe a smaller size would have worked better for me...I don't know.
Don't get me wrong...It's a comfortable helmet...maybe it's because they leave a cutout for the speakers and there is not as much padding around the ears.
Perhaps a set of in ear headphones would resolve the problem...but personally I don't like riding with plugs in my ears...
Maybe the retailer will let you take the helmet for a test ride, or at least let you take it back and change it for another one....not likely!!
As for the bluetooth, I have read so much negative on this lately that I have finally decided to go with wired even though I have a new b/t gps unit and a gps phone
good luck
cheers

I agree with the X Man, my Nolan is a bit noise, leson learned, next time if they dont let me road test an exspensive helmet, i'll pass.
