No, although not bad helmets.

They're good enough for 7 time Moto GP champion Valentino Rossi, and most of them are made with carbon composite shells instead of cheaper thermoplastic.
I'm getting due for another helmet, and AGV looks like a very comparable replacement for my Shoei RF900. The only problem I have is that nobody in town carries them, so I can't try one on!

yes as far as protection, they all must pass the same test.
but the difference in hemets is features and noise and fit.
some people fit in shoei better than arai. some people like the vents on arai. just get the best you can afford and that fits you best. don't cut corners on gear or tires when it comes to a motorcycle.

Who knows definitely? But they're surely close.
I think the most important thing is to get a helmet that fits you're particular head shape best. Any differences between good quality helmets are unlikely to be more important than that.
If it doesn't fit right, you'll be uncomfortable and can easily wind up buying a helmet that's too large for you. I did that for years until a knowledgeable salesman found me the right shape helmet and moved me down a size.

They all have to pass the same test so as far as protection they are equal, But for fit and finish the more expensive will be better If you want just protection save your money get the AGV If you want BLING go with the other

yes they all have to meet the current SNELL rating required by the ministry!!! fit maybe a personal preference, as well as colour,graphics, and the name tag. i find the available options on them not totally necessary but could be pleasant or cool. nuff said, keep SHINY side UP!!!!!!

This article did some testing based on safety standards (DOT, Snell & European) and turns out more expensive isn't always better.
