The Schuberth M1 helmet

The Schuberth M1 is a cracking open-face helmet; most certainly the most sophisticated on the market. In concept, it is like many other scooter-style, open-face helmets, with its full length visor and excellent peripheral vision. But the M1 carries a trick up its sleeve; it's outstanding comms. capability. The comms. module of the helmet is purchased separately, but literally just clips into the back of the helmet. All very neat. The amazing stereo headphones are already installed, but the pièce de resistance is that the M1 has no microphone boom. Using military style ‘bone technology’, the microphones are concealed in the cheeks. So no annoying boom to get in the way. But you still get amazing clarity, and the ability to take phone calls, receive updates from the GPS, and listen to music. What’s not to like?
