I bought this never worn off marketplace for $50. Best $50 I've ever spent.everything you read in the other reviews is true. Cheap plastic vents, terrible sound and such but ventilation is adequate and the sound can be made better with an equalizer/amplifier app found on play store for free. App works fine and records trips accurately. It is light in weight, functional and good looking. Everything works as it should.

Ghost Umbra Pros: I’m quite pleased with the lighter weight, great design, fit & easy connectivity. Safety ratings & features are definitely impressive. Cons: Like other riders have noted, the volume is inadequate, particularly during highway travel. I can barely distinguish what tune is playing! ☹️ (After a bit of research, I adjusted my iPhone’s audio equalizer to the “late night” setting. It helps, though not enough.) Also, I get a bit annoyed when the face shield is in the fully open position & doesn’t clear my field of vision entirely. Otherwise, would recommend.

This is a beautiful helmet first off, you will not be disappointed. My only complaints are that the stitching on the inside of the padding started to unthread which was an inconvenience, the built in audio system is good but could use a little bit more bass, and the helmets also run small. I ordered my helmet in medium going off the sizing chart & my usual size and it fits tight. Not uncomfortable for me but nonetheless it is tight. Other that that I am more than pleased with my purchase. I look forward to seeing how quin improves their helmets in the future.

I love the Quin Ghost helmet for the most part. Its light, fits well, looks great and has amazing tech built into it. Overall the fit, finish and build quality is there. But, there are few issues keeping it from being my go-to helmet. First, the bluetooth functionality is really nice. Easy to pair and the controls are very user friendly. The speakers work well, but are much quieter than other bluetooth units I own. It works fine, just not much volume. Also wish it would function as a rider to rider intercom. Second is the wind noise. This is a loud helmet. It has great venting, but even with all the vents closed, lots of air rushes in and around the inside of the helmet. There are large gaps on the top left and right side of the face shield (when fully closed) That lets lots of air in, accounting for much of the wind noise. It's not a winter helmet for sure. Again, I really like the helmet and hope to never have to use the crash tech that's built in. And I will use it during the summer months (with earplugs), But for now it will be my secondary helmet. If they would fix some of the noise issues and improve the speakers, it would get a 5 star review. They almost hit the mark, but just not quite there yet.

First need to start with the primary reason for a helmet purchase. Protection, comfort, visibility and last and not so important, looks. My Quin past those tests with flying colors. The helmet is comfortable (measure correctly for size) and provides great visibility, I do also love the retro design and look. Perfect Helmet. Now the not so good. The sound quality in this helmet is the worst I've ever encountered. Far more tinny than I was expecting, no bass what so ever. I have 3 helmets that have speakers in them, a couple of old Harley Set ups with the "user install" speaker and mic set up. The only problem with those is the ear pads are intrusive as they are not built into the helmet. My Shoei NeoTec 2 set up, built right into the helmet is very good sound quality and comfortable. Finally, why no intercom feature. My partner and I ride together all the time and we have grown very use to the intercom feature in the Shoei and HD set up. She wants a Quin Nero also but between the sound and no intercom it's a non-starter. Understand the price point of the helmet probably doesn't allow for better sound quality, but I think a "premium sound with intercom" upgrade that maybe adds $50 to $75 to the helmet might be worth a shot. Then I guarantee you another Quin would be on order and we'd both be cruising down the road enjoying the comfort, visibility and "sound" of the Quin.

Order a larger size than needed, had to return. Excited to actually try the unit itself.

Nice helmet. However, the manual did not mention the external application needed for use. Also, does allowuch wind noise.

I believe your sizing guide needs to be reviewed. I had 3 people measure my head and they all came up with 61cm which falls in the XL size range. When I received the helmet it was clearly too small.
