Trend Airshield Pro is top heavy. The battery charger on Amazon and the box shows a blue square; Mike from Trend said those haven't been available for the last three years and to let him know if I'm not getting eight hours out of the battery. It came with a cheap feeling set of ear defenders. I had my first dustless turning/sawing day. The ear defenders were very convenient when I fired up the band saw. I went to bed without my lungs complaining. The helmet fan noise was not bad. The air was cool. It did not fog. It's available on Amazon with ear defenders for $370. I liked this helmet.

Emiliano Archaval posted about his M-407 paired with a Breathe Easy. I ordered the parts from eBay.

Over a month of use on the Airpro. I love the fresh air. It's not too hot in the summer. My lungs feel great/normal at the end of the day. Top heaviness is not an issue. I wear it chainsawing, bandsawing, turning... The ear cups do not stay connected. They came with my Amazon purchase and will need to be jury rigged to stay in place.

I have the 3m breath easy that goes aroun my waist like it alot, but it is expensive and the batteries are also not given away. Have had it for 15years and still going strong.
