Amaya ATW-ANC08 wireless earbuds are now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,200, brand new and sealed, carrying hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, Environmental Noise Cancellation for calls, Bluetooth 5.3, 13mm dynamic drivers, and up to 20 hours of total playtime with the charging case. Collect the Amaya ATW-ANC08 from our showroom at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The Amaya ATW-ANC08 recharges over USB-C and pairs with any Bluetooth handset, tablet, or laptop you already own.
Most earbuds under KSh 3,000 in Kenya skip noise cancellation entirely, which means matatu engine drone, generator hum, and open-plan office chatter push you to raise the volume until your ears hurt. The Amaya ATW-ANC08 attacks that problem from two directions at once. Hybrid ANC uses multiple microphones to cut low-frequency rumble before it reaches your ear canal, while ENC strips background noise out of your voice so the person on the call hears you and not Tom Mboya Street. University students at Strathmore and USIU, gym members, boda boda riders, and call-centre staff all gain from that combination.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock unbranded earbuds with no local warranty path, Mascom International sells the Amaya ATW-ANC08 with a 12-month warranty handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk. Amaya Technologies Company Limited maintains a Kenyan presence, so parts and claims do not disappear overseas. Buyers consistently report that the sweatproof rating survives full gym circuits and unexpected downpours along Thika Road. Walk into Kimathi Street to test the Amaya ATW-ANC08 against real CBD street noise, or order for countrywide delivery and pay only when the package reaches you.
Common Questions About the Amaya ATW-ANC08
What makes the Amaya ATW-ANC08 different from other earbuds under KSh 3,000 in Kenya?
Active Noise Cancellation is the difference, and almost nothing else at KSh 2,200 offers it. Cheaper earbuds rely on passive isolation alone, meaning the silicone tip blocks whatever it physically can. The ATW-ANC08 adds microphones that listen to outside rumble and generate an opposite waveform to cancel it. You also get Bluetooth 5.3 rather than the older 5.0 chipsets common at this price, plus 13mm drivers instead of the usual 10mm units.
How well does the noise cancellation work on a matatu or in a busy office?
Hybrid ANC targets steady low-frequency sound, which is exactly what a matatu produces: engine drone, tyre roar, and road rumble. Expect that layer to drop noticeably, letting you listen at a lower, safer volume. Sudden noises behave differently. A hooting lorry, a conductor shouting, or a colleague calling your name still cuts through, because ANC handles constant sound far better than sharp, unpredictable sound. Office air conditioning and generator hum fade well.
How long does the battery actually last on a full charge?
Amaya rates the ATW-ANC08 at up to 20 hours of total playtime, counting the recharges stored in the case. In practice that is roughly 4 to 5 hours per earbud on a single charge with ANC switched on, then several top-ups from the case before the case itself needs power. Switching ANC off stretches each session further. USB-C charging means the same cable that powers your phone refills the case.
Will these earbuds stay in place during a workout or a run?
Yes. The ATW-ANC08 uses an in-ear design with silicone tips that wedge into the ear canal rather than resting loosely in the outer ear. That grip holds through squats, treadmill runs, and skipping. Sweatproof and dustproof construction handles perspiration and the dust kicked up along murram roads. Try the supplied tip sizes and pick the one that seals without pressure, since a proper seal improves both bass response and noise cancellation.
Do the Amaya ATW-ANC08 earbuds work with iPhone and Android phones?
Both, plus tablets, laptops, and Bluetooth-equipped televisions. Bluetooth is a universal standard, so there is no app requirement and no brand lock. Open the case beside your device, select the ATW-ANC08 from the Bluetooth menu, and pairing completes in seconds. After the first pairing the earbuds reconnect on their own each time you open the case. Range reaches about 10 metres indoors, enough to leave your handset charging while you move around the house.
How clear are calls when walking through Nairobi CBD?
Environmental Noise Cancellation handles the outbound side of the call, which is where budget earbuds usually fail. The microphone array separates your voice from surrounding traffic, hawker announcements, and wind, then sends the cleaned-up voice to the other party. Callers report far less background bleed compared with single-microphone earbuds. For WhatsApp calls, Zoom sessions, and Google Meet check-ins from a noisy stage or pavement, that difference decides whether the meeting continues or stalls.
Is KSh 2,200 fair value against oraimo, Infinix, and Tecno earbuds?
At this price oraimo FreePods and Tecno Buds models typically offer ENC for calls but leave out true Active Noise Cancellation, or reserve ANC for units costing KSh 3,500 upward. The ATW-ANC08 includes both technologies plus Bluetooth 5.3 and USB-C. Where rivals win is app support and ecosystem extras, which Amaya does not provide. If quiet listening matters more than app tuning, this is the stronger buy at KSh 2,200.
What is the Hall switch and why should I care?
A Hall switch is a magnetic sensor inside the charging case that detects when the lid opens or closes. Opening the lid wakes the earbuds and triggers pairing automatically. Closing it powers them down so the battery does not drain in your pocket or bag. It sounds minor, but it removes the manual power-button routine that frustrates owners of cheaper earbuds and prevents the common problem of a flat set of earbuds sitting inside a case.
Where can I buy the Amaya ATW-ANC08 in Nairobi and how fast is delivery?
Mascom International stocks the ATW-ANC08 at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Walk in to test the fit and hear the noise cancellation before paying. For orders outside town, we deliver to all 47 counties with payment on arrival. Nairobi and its environs receive same-day delivery, and most other towns receive theirs the next business day.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware and Noise Control
- 13mm dynamic drivers move more air than typical 10mm units, producing fuller bass for Gengetone, Afrobeats, and podcasts
- Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation uses feed-forward and feedback microphones to cancel constant low-frequency sound such as engine and generator noise
- Environmental Noise Cancellation works on the outbound microphone path, cleaning your voice during calls rather than your music
- Sealed in-ear silicone tips add passive isolation on top of ANC, blocking higher-pitched sound that electronics alone cannot cancel
- Lower listening volume becomes practical once ambient noise drops, which protects hearing during long daily listening sessions
- Balanced tuning keeps vocals forward, suiting radio talk shows, sermons, audiobooks, and video calls as much as music
- Stereo playback across both earbuds, with either bud usable alone when you need one ear free for surroundings
Wireless Connectivity and Device Pairing
- Bluetooth 5.3 improves connection stability and power draw compared with the Bluetooth 5.0 chips common in this price bracket
- Roughly 10 metres of operating range indoors, enough to leave your handset on charge in another room
- Works with Android handsets, iPhones, iPads, Windows laptops, MacBooks, and Bluetooth televisions without extra software
- Automatic reconnection to the last paired device when the case lid opens, removing repeat setup every morning
- Low-latency behaviour keeps lip movement aligned with sound during YouTube, Netflix, and mobile gaming sessions
- No companion app required, so setup stays identical whether you use a Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, or Xiaomi handset
Battery Life and Charging
- Up to 20 hours of total playtime combining earbud runtime with the recharges held inside the charging case
- Approximately 4 to 5 hours per earbud per charge with noise cancellation active, longer with the feature switched off
- USB-C charging port accepts the same cable used by recent Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, and Apple handsets
- Case doubles as storage and power bank, so a full working day rarely needs a wall socket
- LED indicators on the case communicate remaining charge and confirm that the earbuds are refilling correctly
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Sweatproof and dustproof construction copes with gym circuits, running, and dust along murram and construction routes
- Compact in-ear housings sit flush enough to wear under a helmet, hoodie, or cap without pressure
- Pocketable charging case slips into a trouser pocket, handbag, or laptop bag without adding noticeable weight
- Multiple silicone tip sizes let you match your ear canal, which affects comfort, seal quality, and bass output
- Matte black finish resists visible fingerprint smudges better than the glossy plastics used on many budget earbuds
- Lightweight design suits multi-hour wear during shifts, lectures, and long-distance travel between counties
Controls, Call Handling, and Convenience

- ANC mode toggle lets you switch cancellation off when you need to hear traffic, announcements, or a colleague
