Which helmet?

Yesterday I completed the helmet with inyercom and tested on the road.
I noticed these main things: freling of quality was really high. I don't feel the weight on my head abolutely. Also ventilation is super, specially through the chin intake. I also like the outer design of the intercom.
But...The helmet is much much more noisy than my old X-lite 703. After opening chin air intake it is like in wind tunnel. After installation of intercom I feel higher pressure to and nearby my ears and helmet is now uncomfortabely tight. On loudspeakers is foam and cheekpads foam and textile by pressing of my face covers the loudspeakers maybe 1-2 mm. This duplicates the amount of foam. Periferial view to sides could be a bit better, i see border of pinlock and world behind glass is blurry. But not the biggest issue, I can live with it.
Intercom SRL Mesh has worse sound than my 5 years old Sena 3S and is not possible to hear it on highway speeds, it is probanly due to loudness of the helmet, because at home is the sound relatively ok. I tested also the voice commands, intercom does not understand lot of them. I tested it offlnr or with blocked google assisstant. Buttons on intercom are too small and too close together, but ok, this is not for touching every minute.
In general, very mixed emotions. I hope, the helmet becomes half cm wider.

Hi all,
Which helmet do you use? How experience do you have? I use now X-lite and have ordered Shoei GT-Air 2. Some say that it is great and silent, some that it is loud.
Do you have also experience with intercom Sena SRL2 or SRL- mesh? Or with borh of them?

Ive purchased the new Shoei Neotech2 and have installed the Sena SRL mesh. The helmet is very comfortable as every Shoei ive ever owned is but because its modular its pretty heavy. It's also IMHO not as quite as they seem to claim. The SRL Mesh is my first com system ive ever used, and am liking being able to talk to my wife when she rides pillion and to my kid brother on his Goldwing when we've ridden together. Also listening to music while riding alone is the tits!!! I will say that because of the wind noise in the helmet, music and communication are severely compromised once you reach speeds over 70mph which is way too easy to do with the Rocket!!!
