I dont know how you feel about modulars, but I just got a Shoei Neotec 2 a couple of months back. Very high quality, but pricey. Although I have no use for it, it has the built in spaces for a dedicated Sena system...sounds like you arent interested in that either.
Supposedly it is quieter than the comparable Schuberth. I always wear ear plugs ( Earpeace brand ), so I really cant say it is noisier or quieter than any other full face or modular. I do like being able to open the chin bar to get air on my face, and the Neotec 2 has an extra semi locking detent to allow riding with the chin bar open ( which I would never do ). That said, there is good air flow through the helmet top vent, and the vent on the chin bar. All stainless steel dual chin bar locks, internal adjustable sun visor, and now there is a stainless micro ratchet chinstrap latch, instead of D rings. That ratchet is easy to insert, or release with gloves on.
Head shape fit is neutral oval. Comes with a pin lock anti fog clear insert as well. I wear a size Large, and the standard cheek pads ( 35 mm ) squeezed my face too much, so I replaced them with 31 mm pads. Stopping for gas, or talking to people with the chin bar open is much more convenient for me than taking the helmet off.
