I ordered one and a reflective shield....I sent a message asking about clear pin locks....the next day I get an email they included two 120 clear pinlocks with my order. That is $100 plus for 120s...if the bluetooth sounds good and the helmet fits I'll be a fan boy for life!

Double check your measurements and size up! I wear an XL Bell ff...L Simpson Mod Bandit. Quin measurements show me at the very bottom of an xxl....nope no way hose B...they are shipping me out a full xxxl liner/cheekbpads on Monday. The audio isn't very impressive...they did say they are working with another company to help in that regard.

Can you unplug the speakers and plug in earbuds?

Can you unplug the speakers and plug in earbuds?

Not sure I'm going to look it over when I pull the liner to swap to the bigger (thinner) size. If they are plug and play I'm definitely going to upgrade/ push them for the better ones if they do come out with some. I doubt they use standard ear bud audio plugs.

The audio does use a plug for the speakers so upgrades are an option. See the attached pictures of what else I found. The chin curtain is off center and the vents in the foam look like...well shit for a $600 helmet. I will let you know what they say about it.

Those vent holes look like garbage.
Never heard of them, but a quick search turned this up. I know it's a different model and a couple years ago, but that would be enough for me to stay FAR away from that company. Customer service then was awful, and a bunch of blaming the rider and threatening lawsuits against the rider.


And then this guy. Changing pads because of sizing issues, the eps liner broke, and they blamed him, lol. Not just no, but a big hell no from me.

Do NOT BUY A QUIN HELMET!

I bought a Quin helmet recently, for the weight not the bluetooth. It didn’t fit but the company talked me into trying different pads. As I attempted to remove the cheek pads, the eps liner broke. I’m familiar with replacing pads in both Shoei and Arai helmets and I’ve never had that type or...

They have offered to replace the helmet....I'll see how it goes...CS has beenvery good so far.

Guy told me on Wednesday he had something come up and was going to ship me a new helmet ...not a word so today I emailed and told him to just do a refund/return. His reply was....today was a national holiday....I'll do whatever you'd like are you sure. I responded with yep 100% sure do I need a RMA ?. Going to chaulk this upto almost got screwed over! Helmet has a cheap china feel to it....especially having to go to an XXXL when I normally wear L or XL.
