I concur with you on the 3M striped ear plugs. I've had one of these helmets from when they first came out; initially had lots of problems with the coms system failing. Helmet back and forth to Schuberth numerous times no joy. I eventually figured it out myself that water was getting into the charging/ control cassette causing shorting. In the area of the charging light. The solution a smear of dielectric grease in the slot, keeps the water out. Hopefully this will help other C4 owners.

Very interesting conclusion with regards to the rubbing. I use the corded version of the stripped ear plugs you have. They work for me fine. In the UK 80db is the threshold for ear protection use in industry. Some tests have shown that motorcycle helmets are as noisy as 120db at speed. This level of noise would only give you minutes of use before permanent hearing loss occurs.

Ed Holmes true. And unfortunately many riders still prefer to not wear them.

have the C4 and C4 pro, love em both, I use ear plugs and still listen to the radio, I think they could have done well to buffet the face of the helmet just in front of the ears top to bottom, if I hold my hand out vertically just behind the visor the wind is interrupted and all noise is gone, so buffeting would do the same thinking, dimples like on a golf ball, was thinking about sacrificing the C4 the older one and drilling in buffet dimples, right over the very back edge of visor and buffet visor edge as well, then lacquer over the shell, the flat paint makes it more noisy as well, needs buffeting strategically placed and it will quiet a BUNCH.. I am going to use the Samsung earbuds and cancel it all when I am on the freeways, and I don't need anything 45mph or less, just the radio or music.. ye aman at least wear earplugs if you do freeway speeds.. why I still love my S-1, it NEVER needed earplugs, nope not even at 192mph... this is my what 5th Schuberth? 3 S-1's and 2 C4s 1 pro... still have 2 of the S-1's and 1 is still useable, like new, I kept it nice, the orange rooster got stolen with my bike, lotta miles on that one.. might try an S2 for giggles and cold freeway stuff, i have helmets for all weather conditions, wont wear these C4's in anything but hot weather honestly, I have a few other up to like 85 degree helmets, then my cold weather helmets.. the C4 flip up is the hot hot stuff, 85-90+, a flip up is mandatory at 100+ F weather.. :-) man I have those custom earplugs as well, had em made at the international bike show, where are those? oh boy gonna have to go through all my bike stuff, yikes, 4-5 large bins, and 3-4 back and bags.. forgot all about those I used those on my Arais they got loud, ear ringing loud... funny I wear earplugs with the C4 and it works BETTER than without, specially at speed...

I just bought the C4 Pro, and I am so much happier with this than my Shoei Neotec TC-2 Splicer. The C4 Pro has greater visibility, better airflow, quieter, and has less buffeting than the Shoei Neotec. I don’t use any type of helmet comms systems, so I have no comment on this functionality. That being said YMMV. Ride safe!

Interesting I have a C4 Pro and yes it looks good, is comfortable and great vertical visibility however I get a lot of noise coming up around the ears. I think I would be better off with a Neotech with a intermediate oval shape and more padding on the sides of the cheeks.

I have nothing but problems with comms system. Initially, it wouldn’t work at all. Had to send it in to have the wiring redone. Got it back, worked for a few weeks and then left speaker now has no sound. Lastly, the unit won’t update. Otherwise, the helmet is amazing. Fit is great. Super comfortable.

I thought sponge plugs damp like up to max 10 dbl, the custom ones made especially for your ears... Like 25 dbl max. Schuberth C4, C4 basic/pro helmet(s) helps a lot, they are top of the range. Nice video 📹 👌🏻

Can you use the Bose earplugs (e.g. noise cancellation QuitetComfort 20) with the C4 built in speakers? I believe the Bose do stick out of the ear a bit and may press against the speakers?
@kiki231000

I have found that the Bose earplugs do rub against the speakers, and therefore are too uncomfortable to wear in this helmet.

Curious - I've been using the C3 Pro with the Bose noise cancelling ear-phones and I've been pretty happy. Wires are a pain - but noise reduction and music/call sound are both excellent. Have you gone away from the Bose in the C4 helmet? Why?

I have moved away from the Bose buds as I was finding them uncomfortable after 5 or 6 hours with my latest helmets. I do prefer the sound they provide , however.

Why not use the wax earplugs? The C4 can keep the audio down to just above what you want.. then add the wax plugs and you can flatten them as much as needed and reduce another 30dB into comfortable territory. Plus they are not prone to the tickling nor do they hurt the inside of my canal over time like the foams.

Good question. The wax plugs are more comfortable, for me, in relation to the ear canal, since they are intended to cover the opening as opposed to sealing off the canal itself. However, since there is more material in the outer ear, the wax touches the helmet liner, and low frequency vibrations are conducted through the wax plug, and into the ear, which, in my case, is very loud.

Der C4 Pro ist schon ein echt cooler Helm. Wir sind allerdings auf die neue Version C4 Pro Woman gespannt. Die Kurzvorstellung des neuen Schuberth Helm war schon vielversprechend und der Test kommt. kzitem.info/news/bejne/2Jl-1IetjoBppGU
