This is making interesting reading, I've only ever bought one helmet, it's a Lazer Fiber D1. I bought it when I got my first bike, sales guy recommended it because it's composite. They stuck a pin lock on for me which I love and while I think it's loud, it's never leaked, seems to be quite good from a mist point of view (saying that I don't know what good and bad is) but I know that as long as I am moving over 30mph it clears a treat. Seems noisy, but I don't know what a quiet lid is, but I do wear earplugs because my ears used to ring after my 17 mile commute on 60/70 mph roads. Cost me about £140 just over 2 years ago.
Nice to hear that some of the makes/models I would look at for my next lid are far from perfect.
The problem with buying a lid is it can cost a fortune but there is no way of seeing how it performs before buying.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
