I am still rocking the C3 Pro, but I was at the National Rally last week In Redmond and tried on the C5 and was impressed. It is a totally reworked helmet from the C3/C4. Comes with speakers and anteenna installed. I didn't like the electronics option being a Sena. I would have bought one if my Cardo would fit.
I'm also still wearing the C3 Pro. The C4 and C4 Pro just weren't the right head shape, and I guess I don't know any better with the electronics since I'm happy enough with the Sena unit I have for my C3 Pro. When I saw the C3 Pro go on sale over the summer, I picked one up so I guess I have another 4+ years with the C3 Pro to go before I think of a new one. It's my 2nd C3 Pro and it just works great for me.
 
Ik heb een C5 gekocht maar bij kaag staande zon merk ik ook op dat het zonnevizier te licht is. Had daarom spijt dat ik geen c2 had gekocht, tot mijn leverancier had uitgeprobeerd dat de Piek van de E2 ook op de C5 pas. moest daarvoor ook het vizier vervangen maar dit is altijd nog een stuk voordeliger dan de hele helm vervangen. Ben er erg blij mee.
 
I've had my C5 for a bit over a year now. Fitted with a Cardo pactalk. ~35-45k miles on the helmet.
At first, it was incredible. Totally quite ( aside from wind noise due to cardo protruding ), didn't fog, visor is dark enough not to wear glasses. Even got used to closing the visor with two hands.

I'm on my second pinlock. There is a spot, right in front of my nose, where moisture builds. I've adjusted the face shield and still am facing the same issue.
I feel a faint wind coming from between the visor seal. I believe this is the issue. Extremely frustrating when riding in heavy rain or humidity.

My next helmet is most likely going to be a Neotech. However, I am expecting this C5 to last a couple more years.

Hope that helps!
Heb in ook gehad. Een plekje rechts onder waardoor dode hoek niet kon checken.

keurig onder garantie een nieuwe pinlock gekregen omdat die van mij niet straks genoeg op het vizier kon worden gezet ging hij lekken.

I had a C3. I saw a vid on Revzilla mention that the C3Pro liner would fit in the C3. I got one and no more headaches. Love that helmet still... But it got old and I have a C5 now. Agree that the C4 series wasn't as good.
