BOYA Omic-U is available at Mascom International for KSh 11,000, a two-person wireless microphone kit with a USB-C receiver, two magnetic clip-on transmitters and a charging case. Every unit is brand new and sealed. The BOYA Omic-U plugs straight into Android phones, iPhone 15 and later models, USB-C iPads and laptops, so there are no cables to run between you and the camera. Each transmitter sends sound up to 50 metres over 2.4GHz and runs about 5 hours per charge. Collect yours from our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for content creators, journalists, church media teams and small business owners across Kenya, the BOYA Omic-U fixes the most common problem with phone video: voices that sound distant and hollow. A phone's built-in mic sits far from the speaker and picks up the room, the traffic and the crowd. Clip a BOYA Omic-U transmitter to each collar and both voices go straight into the phone. Interviews, podcasts, product demos for a Westlands boutique and TikTok explainers all sound close and clear. One press of the noise-cancelling button tames fans and street hum.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded wireless mics with no stated specifications, Mascom International stocks the BOYA Omic-U with its full charging case and a written warranty. At Mascom International, we're seeing creators from Kilimani to Kisumu move from wired lapel mics to two-transmitter kits like this because they can walk and talk on camera. Customers across Nairobi tell us the charging case is what makes it practical on long shoot days. Visit the store to test the BOYA Omic-U on your own phone, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the BOYA Omic-U
How much is the BOYA Omic-U in Kenya?
The BOYA Omic-U costs KSh 11,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the USB-C receiver, two transmitters, the charging case, magnetic clips and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. The Lightning version, the BOYA Omic-D, sells at the same KSh 11,000 for older iPhones. The BOYA BY-V2, another Lightning kit, costs KSh 6,700, which saves KSh 4,300 but drops the charging case. Pay-on-arrival delivery reaches all 47 counties.
Which phones and computers work with the BOYA Omic-U?
The BOYA Omic-U works with phones, tablets and computers that have a USB-C port and accept USB audio. That covers most Android phones from Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Redmi and Oppo, plus iPhone 15 and later models, USB-C iPads, and Windows or Mac laptops. On some Oppo and Vivo phones you must switch on OTG in Settings first. On an iPhone, keep the screen awake and the recording app open so the receiver gets power. Older Lightning iPhones need the BOYA Omic-D instead.
BOYA Omic-U or BOYA Omic-D: which one should you buy?
Choose by your phone's charging port, because the BOYA Omic-U and BOYA Omic-D share the same transmitters, case, 50-metre range and battery life. The BOYA Omic-U has a USB-C receiver for Android phones, iPhone 15 and newer, and laptops. The BOYA Omic-D has a Lightning receiver for iPhone 14 and earlier and older iPads. If your home mixes an Android phone with a new iPhone, the BOYA Omic-U covers both. If you shoot only on an older iPhone, take the BOYA Omic-D.
How long does the BOYA Omic-U battery last between charges?
Each BOYA Omic-U transmitter runs up to 5 hours per charge, and the case refills each transmitter twice for up to 15 hours in total. That matters in Kenya, where a KPLC power cut can arrive in the middle of a shoot day. Drop the transmitters into the case during breaks and they top up without a socket. The receiver has no battery of its own; it draws a little power from your phone, so start each session with your phone well charged.
Does the BOYA Omic-U handle matatu noise and busy Nairobi streets?
The BOYA Omic-U has one-click noise cancellation that cuts steady background sound such as traffic hum, generators and ceiling fans. Beside a matatu stage on Moi Avenue or inside a crowded market, the transmitter sits a few centimetres from your mouth, so your voice stays far louder than the street. Noise cancellation cannot erase sudden hooting, so pause for loud bursts. Wipe dust off the transmitters after outdoor shoots, and keep the kit in its case during dry, dusty months.
Can you use the BOYA Omic-U for TikTok Live, Zoom and church livestreams?
Yes, the BOYA Omic-U works as the microphone in apps that accept external USB audio, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Zoom and Google Meet. Latency is about 25 milliseconds, small enough that lips and voice stay in sync on video. Sound arrives in mono, which suits speech. Phone playback still works while the receiver is connected, so you can review a clip without unplugging. For live sessions on Safaricom or Airtel data, test your signal first, because a weak connection hurts a stream more than any mic.
How far can you move from the phone with the BOYA Omic-U?
The BOYA Omic-U transmits up to 50 metres in open space over a 2.4GHz wireless link. Walls, crowds and bodies standing between you and the phone shorten that distance, so keep a clear line of sight for the steadiest signal. That range is ample for a presenter crossing a church hall, a lecturer moving around a Kenyatta University lecture room, or an estate agent filming a house tour while the phone stays on a tripod by the door.
Who should buy the BOYA Omic-U and who should skip it?
The BOYA Omic-U suits vloggers, journalists, teachers, pastors and online sellers who record speech on a USB-C phone or laptop and want two voices without cables. Skip it if you need headphone monitoring, manual gain control, a low-cut filter or on-board backup recording, because it has none of these. Filmmakers using a camera with a 3.5mm mic input should look at a camera-ready wireless system instead. Owners of Lightning iPhones should buy the BOYA Omic-D rather than an adapter.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Sound Pickup
- Two-person wireless system — two transmitters send to one receiver, so a host and a guest are recorded at the same time.
- Frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz — covers the full range of the human voice, from deep tones to sharp consonants.
- 48kHz sample rate — the same rate used for video soundtracks, so audio lines up cleanly when you edit.
- Signal-to-noise ratio above 80dB — a measure of hiss; a higher figure means a quieter background behind your voice.
- Sound pressure ceiling of 120dB — handles shouting, singing and nearby loudspeakers without harsh distortion.
- One-click noise cancellation — a single button press reduces steady sounds like fans, traffic hum and generators.
- Mono recording with about 25ms latency — both voices mix into one track that stays in sync with lips on video.
Compatibility and Connection
- USB-C receiver — plugs into Android phones, iPhone 15 and later, USB-C iPads, and Windows or Mac laptops.
- 2.4GHz wireless link — the same licence-free band Wi-Fi uses, so there are no channels or frequencies to set.
- Up to 50 metres range in open space — enough to walk across a hall while the phone stays on a tripod.
- Receiver powered by your device — it carries no battery, so there is nothing to charge on the phone side.
- OTG switch on some Android phones — certain Oppo and Vivo models ask you to enable it in Settings first.
- Phone playback while connected — review clips or play music through the phone without unplugging the receiver.
Battery and Charging Case
- Up to 5 hours per transmitter on one charge — covers a full morning of interviews or a long Sunday service.
- Up to 15 hours per transmitter with the case — the case refills each transmitter twice before it needs a socket.
- 300mAh battery inside the charging case — a built-in reserve, so transmitters recharge in your bag between shoots.
- Built-in lithium batteries in the transmitters — no coin cells or AA batteries to buy and replace.
- iPhone power note — keep the screen awake and the recording app open so the receiver stays powered.
Build and Mounting
- Transmitter size of 36 x 36 x 9.7mm — about the footprint of a large coat button, small enough to sit neatly on a collar.
- Transmitter weight of 15.5g — light enough that it does not drag thin shirts or blouses out of shape.
- Magnetic mounting with included magnets and clip — attach through fabric without pins, or clip onto a collar or pocket.
- Charging case of 96 x 46.5 x 37mm and 90g — fits a trouser pocket or a small camera pouch.
- Physical buttons — controls you can feel, so you can switch noise cancellation on without looking down.
- Black or white finish — pick the shade that blends with what you usually wear on camera.
Inclusions and Setup
- One USB-C receiver — the small unit that plugs into your phone, tablet or laptop and collects both signals.
- Two transmitters — one for each speaker, each worn on clothing with its own magnet or clip.
- Charging case — stores, carries and recharges the transmitters, so the whole kit travels as one piece.
- Magnets and clips — two ways to mount the transmitters, depending on the fabric and neckline.
- User manual — setup steps, including the OTG setting on Android and the iPhone power note.
