Tour X3 or Hornet?

[evenflow]

After buying a new lid and decided on a tourX or the shoei Hornet DS..they both fit ok..the arai is a bit snugger. Would welcome any comments on them from owners please - to help me decide.
Also - want to to fit autocom speakers .
Thanks

I was told it could be as late as August so bought 2 Tour X 2s, there's some good offers to be had if you shop around.

Shoei gets my vote

Just binned my four year old Tour-X in favour of a Hornet. The Arai was getting unbelievably noisy. Its probably not fair to compare it with any brand new helmet, but the Shoei seems to be quieter, better ventilated and as well built as the Arai.

YMMV!
