I didn't bother searching (I'm at work), but checkout http://www.webbikeworld.com. I know they've reviewed a tone of helmets including the S1.
From what I remember, they claim that it's one of the most weighty helmets...almost to the point of uselessness.

webbikeworld report the weight of approx. 1700 grams while Schuberth in Europe report a weight of approx 1500 grams.
This does not mean that one of them is wrong, since a little known fact is that the helmets for the EU market conform to ECE standards while for the US usually to Snell&DOT (or just DOT) standards. These standards impose different requirements for impact absorption hence liner construction is different. A lid conforming to Snell cannot conform to ECE and vice-versa. It is hell...
Also the high frequency noise from the air vents reported by webbikeworld I have not seen reported in any other reports and tests.
