Building with it

An enchanted diamond helmet is the same 363 uses with the head slot enchantments already applied. Respiration, Aqua Affinity and Protection all live here, and finding one already enchanted in a chest saves both the experience and the lapis a table would have cost.

In practice

An enchanted diamond helmet found in a chest saves both the levels and the lapis an enchanting table would have cost, and it can carry enchantments a table would rarely offer. Checking what is on it before wearing it matters, since Curse of Binding is a real possibility in loot. Loot enchantments are not always good ones: Curse of Binding on a helmet means it cannot be taken off until it breaks or you die. Reading the tooltip before putting a chest-found helmet on is the difference between a free upgrade and a very long swim home.
