Mascom International stocks the Amazfit Up at KSh 7,300, brand new and sealed: open-ear wireless earbuds with up to 6 hours per charge, 24 hours in total with the case, IPX4 sweat resistance and Bluetooth 5.3. Made by Amazfit, the Amazfit Up clips around the outer ear instead of sealing inside the canal. You hear music and calls clearly while still catching car horns, gym announcements and the person next to you. The case charges over USB-C, and AI noise reduction keeps your voice clear on calls. Test the fit at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for runners, cyclists, boda boda commuters, field engineers and office workers across Kenya, the Amazfit Up solves a real safety problem. Sealed earbuds block out the road, which is risky when you jog along Ngong Road or cycle through morning traffic. Open-ear design keeps you aware of your surroundings while the music keeps playing. The Amazfit Up also suits people who find in-ear tips painful after an hour of Zoom calls. Touch controls resist sweat and humidity, so a tap still answers a call midway through a hot afternoon session in Mombasa or Kisumu.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push cheap copies of open-ear designs, Mascom International sells the genuine Amazfit Up sealed with a 12-month warranty handled at our Nairobi CBD desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us they wear the Amazfit Up all day because nothing presses into the ear canal. Owners of Amazfit watches also like that it plays music stored on compatible watches and reads out training data during workouts. Come to our store to try the Amazfit Up on, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival anywhere in the country.
Common Questions About the Amazfit Up
How much are the Amazfit Up earbuds in Kenya?
The Amazfit Up costs KSh 7,300 brand new and sealed at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD. That price includes the earbuds, the charging case, a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Over a year of daily use, it works out to about KSh 20 a day. Buyers pairing it with an Amazfit watch often pick the Amazfit Bip 6 at KSh 14,000, which brings the combined cost to KSh 21,300.
What are open-ear earbuds, and how is the Amazfit Up different from regular earbuds?
The Amazfit Up sits on the outside of your ear rather than inside the ear canal, so you hear your audio and your surroundings at the same time. Regular in-ear earbuds use silicone tips that seal the canal and block outside noise. That seal gives stronger bass and quieter listening on a noisy matatu, but it also hides traffic and voices. Choose the Amazfit Up for outdoor workouts and all-day comfort. Choose sealed earbuds with noise cancellation if you mainly listen on long, loud commutes.
How long does the Amazfit Up battery last?
The Amazfit Up plays for up to 6 hours per charge, and the case adds about 18 hours more, for up to 24 hours in total. Each earbud holds a 50mAh battery, while the case carries 440mAh. For a typical user with an hour of workouts and a few calls each day, that means charging the case roughly once or twice a week. The case charges over USB-C, so it shares a cable with most recent phones, which helps during KPLC power cuts.
Does the Amazfit Up work with Safaricom, Airtel and any phone in Kenya?
Yes, the Amazfit Up connects to any Bluetooth phone, so it works whether your SIM is on Safaricom, Airtel or Telkom. It uses Bluetooth 5.3 with the SBC and AAC audio codecs, which are the formats Android phones and iPhones use for wireless sound. AAC gives iPhone users solid sound quality. You can also pair it with more than one device, such as your phone and a laptop. Calls go through AI noise reduction, which helps your voice carry over Nairobi CBD street noise.
Will the Amazfit Up stay in place while running or cycling?
Yes, the Amazfit Up uses an ear-clip design that wraps around the outer ear, so it stays put during runs, rides and gym sessions. The clip is made from a titanium-nickel alloy, a flexible metal that bends to fit and springs back into shape. Soft TPU and polymer surfaces keep contact gentle on the skin. Its IPX4 rating means it handles sweat and light rain from any direction. That suits morning joggers at Karura Forest and cyclists on the Southern Bypass.
Does the Amazfit Up work better with an Amazfit watch?
The Amazfit Up works with any Bluetooth phone, but it gains extra features when paired with compatible Amazfit watches. It can play music stored on the watch, so you can leave your phone at home on runs. It also reads out training data and directions from a connected watch, keeping your eyes on the road. With the Amazfit T-Rex 3, a triple press calls up Zepp Flow, Amazfit's voice assistant. On Android, Zepp Flow also turns speech into text messages for hands-free replies.
Who should buy the Amazfit Up, and who should skip it?
The Amazfit Up suits runners, cyclists, gym users and anyone who wants to hear their surroundings while listening, all for KSh 7,300. It also fits office workers who find in-ear tips uncomfortable during long calls. Skip it if you want deep bass or quiet listening on noisy commutes, because open-ear sound leaks and lets outside noise in. Frequent flyers and heavy matatu commuters are better served by sealed earbuds with active noise cancellation from a dedicated audio brand.
Can other people hear my music through the Amazfit Up?
At moderate volume, people standing beside you may hear faint sound from the Amazfit Up, because open-ear speakers sit outside the ear canal. In a quiet office in Upper Hill or a library at Strathmore, keep volume low to avoid disturbing colleagues. Outdoors and in gyms, background noise usually covers any leakage. The trade-off is awareness: you hear traffic, a trainer's instructions and announcements at once. For private listening in silent rooms, sealed earbuds remain the better choice.
