German maker Schuberth's C5 ANC, a modular helmet co-developed with Cardo featuring factory-integrated active noise cancellation, has been put through a real-world test. Where the standard C5 measured around 85 decibels at 100km/h, the ANC system cuts up to 10 decibels in the 100–700Hz range, described as nearly halving perceived noise. Pricing is €799 for the helmet and €529 for the comm unit.

Going from a measured 85 decibels down by up to 10 decibels sounds modest as a number, but 'nearly half the perceived noise' carries more weight than stitching and buckles ever could. Rather than the 'world's first ANC-integrated modular helmet' headline, what actually interests me is the 10-hour battery life.

Worried too much quiet might dull awareness of surroundings

Is 10 hours of battery enough for a full day of riding?

Helmet plus comm unit together is a serious investment

Halving the noise is great news for long-distance riders

'Feels like half' sounds pretty subjective to me
