… not an ideal choice of motorcycle helmet for on road use, according to Motolegends..
“That may sound like semantics, but you need to understand this nuance because the Krios Pro really is not very suitable for wearing on the road. In fact, we think it makes for quite a poor road helmet. And that’s largely down to noise. Now carbon helmets are often noisy because the shells don’t absorb sound in the way that composite ones do. But what makes the Krios Pro particularly noisy is the Koroyd. As we have said, Koyroyd is amazing stuff, but the hollow tubes that sit at the heart of its construction don’t so much absorb noise as transmit it. The Krios is very noisy; noisier even than the Bell Bullitt, hard as that might be to believe.
One customer recently reported that he could he hear the sound of every insect as it collided with the shell of his helmet. He even reckoned he could work out the sex! Another brought his back after an hour because, at 50 mph, he could not hear the music through the Krios’s dedicated Sena comms. system.
There’s another issue you need to be aware of. The Krios Pro is not very good at keeping the rain out. This is a helmet designed for riding off road. In such an environment, a bit of rain ingress is rarely considered the end of the world. But if you are used to the quality of seal that you would expect to find on a good-quality road helmet, you will be disappointed. In heavy rain, water will find its way past the visor into the helmet.”

I certainly don’t find it noisy and I never use ear plugs either.
I have do a big head though! 
Once it’s on there’s plenty of room inside. I have a pair of the JBL 45mm helmet speakers in there too.
