Whether you’re warning your mates about the washout around the next corner or arguing over whose turn it is to buy lunch, a good helmet intercom quickly becomes one of those gadgets you wonder how you ever rode without. Now, Midland Intercom has officially expanded into Australia through Whites Powersports, giving us another option for rider communication.

Leading the lineup is the Midland BT Mini, a compact Bluetooth intercom that punches well above its size. It allows one-to-one communication for up to three riders, while also pairing with other intercom brands, making it easier to stay connected even if your riding buddies haven’t bought the same gear. It also hooks up to your smartphone, GPS and compatible digital dashboards, so navigation, calls and music are all within easy reach.

Despite its pint-sized design, the BT Mini packs in plenty of features, including DSP noise cancellation, Super Bass audio, IPX6 waterproofing, and up to 8 hours of talk time from its lithium-ion battery. It also includes both wired and boom microphones, making it suitable for full-face and open-face helmets alike, while a single multifunction button keeps operation nice and simple, even with gloves on.
