I usually wear earplugs on rides now.
The ventilation is going to be much more aggressive on the x12 compared to your 1100. The wind noise and lack of room for speakers is a necessary compromise when you start getting into flagship race helmets . This is Shoei's top of the line designed to be used primarily for one thing.

I love the Daijiro Kato design though, it was recently re-released as a commemoration.
