Quote is right but emphasis is on the wrong place.
"Unless stated otherwise, activating a use-activated magic item is either a standard action or not an action at all"
This was the basis of my idea above since it is not stated otherwise in the helmet's description, but:
"If the use of the item takes time before a magical effect occurs, then use activation is a standard action"
This second part is what I did not notice. I guess this means it is the "not an action at all" part and not the "standard action" part.
Result: activate simply by equipping it (move action).
