Shoei here, couple of 900's and 1000. Fit is important and for me, since i have pudgy cheeks
, the smaller cheek pads make the difference. I think this year's 1000 allows the liner to come out so it can be washed.
As for wind noise, get your wife a bike and a Chatter box and she will sing to you and the wind will be gone.

Have a Shoei rf1000 and Suomy spec-1r.
Suomy is lighter, a bit louder, seems to flow a little more air, and shield doesn't fog. Stay away from the Iridium shield and you'll be fine.
With the exception of the easy fogging, I still like the rf-1000 better.
As an aside, my daughter has an HJC. We use an autocom to talk and her helmet mic doesn't activate at the speeds mine does even when I use a chin skirt. I guess that means the HJC is quieter with wind noise.

I have a medium and a large Schwantz left in stock if anybody wants one...and a Doohan in L.
I have an Shoei X-8, and a X-11 love them both.
HJC Carbon sure is nice n' light, but LOUD for surefit. then look for a quality helmet with a removable/WASHABLE liner. then a light weight one. one that breaths/vents. earplugs optional.
Shoei X-11, Arai rx-7 corsair, both over $400, but close if you shop around for a sale on SOLID COLORS.
Scorpion exo 700, but heavy, under $400.
HJC carbon.
good luck
