HJC Symax II. It has a flip face, which my bank tellers find amusing when I go into the bank, pop the face up, and proceed to do business with the helmet still on. I do this a lot at gas stations and such as well.
This is the second one I've owned. I skidded face down across the road with the last one after a nasty spill, and was knocked unconscious. The visor was scuffed up pretty bad, the vent louver inside the face plate was broken, but otherwise the helmet did it's job well protecting my face. As they tell you to replace a helmet after such an impact, I did so as soon as funds allowed, with another SymaxII.
Replacing original Symax. Tried the Symax III and the drop down sun shield and it hits me in the old snozzola. Never knew I had a long beak. The Vemar TC fit well, but it's heavy.
Bought a couple of Fulmer helmets for the wife and myself this summer. We're quite pleased by both fit and price. You have to buy from a brick and mortar store, but I feel it's best to try them on first anyway.
I'm on my second Shoei RF1000 because that's what fits my skull. Very quiet, and especially since I ride with the visor open (behind the windshield) and I wear ANSI-type safety glasses. I just like the 'shield open. Very quiet and no turbulence. My first one was red that matched my 2003 Connie paint, but I switched to white for better visibility.
I have a Nolan N102. Takes audio components (bluetooth,etc.) It has the flip-up chinbar/face screen with one handed operation. I got a N101 for the missus, but you gotta use 2 hands to raise the chinbar/visor. Good helmets. Fit well, not much noise, good aerodynamics with the chin bar up or down. Not to expensive...
So there ya go: best advice has been stated above: try the helmets on to see what feels best. I tried them all on a few years back and came up with a relatively inexpensive helmet worked for me. Several years and several helmets later I was given an Icon Airframe. Need the vents on the Connie, I agree. If I was pulling the trigger right now, I would have to try on the new Bell models: I started years ago with a Bell, and like that Revolver that was mentioned.

I didn't realize that Fulmer was still around. I had one back in the mid-80's. It was the first "good" helmet I ever had.
I wear a Icon Alliance which I really like, but it's getting kinda old (about 8 or 9 years) I think i might try a Scorpion for my next one. A couple of my buddies wear them and like them alot.
My big 3 are fit, weight, and ventilation, in that order. I contend that proper fit takes care of the noise. My head is too elongated for even a profile. I am currently in a Shark RSi and love it. Different brands and models fit different. I have never liked hjc, scorpion, or icon. They all weigh 12 pounds apiece. As far as safety , I don't think there is an unsafe legal helmet. But wait till mile 600 of day 3 and tell me how much you still like that heavy cheap scorpion as the shooting pains gather between your shoulderblades from holding the blasted thing up. I also forgo flip fronts for the same reason.
I still use an Arai RX7RR4 that is my "go to" helmet. It is probably 9-10 years old, but I have replaced the liners and shield and she is still feelin good. I also purchased a Nolan N103 with bluetooth setup a year or so ago. This was my first modular syle helmet and I like it it alot, but it is nosier than my Arai.
