Phantom ANC

I recently purchased this helmet and as soon as I received it, I charged and went for a 3 hours drive to test it out. At first I was disappointed with the sound. After I took about 5 minutes to adjust the settings on my phone, the sound was phenomenal. The bass sounds amazing. Even at 70mph on the interstate, I barely had any wind noise without the ANC on. I did not get a chance to test ANC since I was bringing my motorcycle to the shop for break in maintenance. I test the call quality which the other individual could hear me clearly without background noise. There wasn't much pull on the helmet from the wind. The front light is nice and bright. I did not check the rear light since I am not for sure if it's legal to have on in the state I'm in since some states do not allow it. The shield did not fog up even though it was 33 degrees Fahrenheit out and I do not have the pinlock. The lid clicks shut nicely. The helmet is nice and comfortable, however I did order once size larger than the size chart said for my head since I've always needed to order one size over measurement charts. Being able to set ambient noise on also is useful when chatting to others without needing to take the helmet off. The slide down sun shield works well when there is glare or sun in your face. It is super easy to slide down while wearing gloves and moving. The weight of the helmet wasn't really noticeable to me in difference compared to other helmets once communication devices are installed. The downside is the durability, the helmet was blown off my seat by a gust of wind which is about 31 inches off the ground, the helmet pushed in on one side causing the shade screen to no longer be able to be used. The helemt itself held up nicely in an accident, i hit a deer doing about 65mph and had no head injury, however the helmet was badly damaged.

Very nice helmet but I expected the noise cancellation to be better. My Apple AirPods and Apple AirPods Max both offer better noise cancellation. The tail lights on the back of the helmet seem to be too small to offer much protection at night and probably offer none during the day. Finally, the small LED light on the front of the helmet is too dim to be of much assistance, even at night in an emergency. But overall I'm happy as this helmet connects every time to the Apple Car Play on my 2026 Harley Steet Glide (something the other Sena helmets did not always do for unknown reasons. Be warned, this helmet fits very tight for the first several rides before loosening up so it's comfortable. In addition, the side padding is so tight I can't wear glasses unless they have very thin frames.

This is a great asset to any rider! Everything you need is in this helmet. Great sound, comfort, and user friendly. On top of all the features, the easy to use communications and mesh intercom system is easy to connect to fellow riders. Download the Sena app for your phone. Keeps your helmet firmware updated wirelessly. All functions can be accessed through the app as well. The Wave app will help make a mesh intercom network with compatible headsets with other riders easily. Plus the front led light and rear brake lights for safety in the rear of the helmet! Also has sound wave technology the help reduce road noise. Absolutely worth of penny of the cost.

The helmet arrived with the volume up button non-functional. It would not click or depress at all, though I was able to hold the middle button and massage the broken button until it finally turned on. The XL was true to size for my long oval head shape and the quality otherwise felt solid. Hopefully a one off issue… Refunded and reordered but unfortunately won’t have it in time for the ride I originally purchased it for. If the replacement comes in in good condition I will update my review.

I bought Phantom ANC medium size based on the size chart. Delivered yesterday. It feels just right on the head but is pretty tight on my cheeks. When I lower the sun shield, its edge touches the bridge of my nose and I need to adjust it a little. I’m thinking about exchanging it for a Large size but I’m not sure if that will be tight in the face / cheek area.

So far this is the best helmet I have own, the ANC is good enough, it helps a lot. The sound quality is one of the best I have ever tried. And it fits perfectly.

good helmet, easy to sync to the app

Arrived broken, left speaker constantly cuts in and out like a wire is just dangling on, it usually happens at speed so u have to assume it’s something to do with the anc
