Budi EP70B True Wireless Earphones are now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,800, carrying both Active Noise Cancellation for listening and ENC filtering for calls. Each earbud holds a 35mAh cell that runs six hours of music or five hours of talk time at 60 percent volume. The 300mAh charging cradle raises combined runtime to 15 hours and reports exact charge levels on a digital readout. Collect the Budi EP70B at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for countrywide delivery. Every Budi EP70B leaves our counter brand new and sealed.
Call centre agents in Upper Hill, accountants racing KRA filing deadlines, and university students revising in shared hostels all fight the same problem: background noise they cannot switch off. A generator kicking in on Ngong Road, a fan humming over a shared desk, or matatu engines idling outside a lecture hall all sit in the low-frequency band that active noise cancellation handles best. The Budi EP70B attacks that band directly rather than asking you to raise the volume until your ears hurt. Adjustable bass then lets you decide how much weight the music carries once the noise is gone.
Most earbuds sold under KSh 4,000 in Kenya offer passive isolation only, which means a tighter silicone tip and nothing more. The Budi EP70B pairs true active cancellation with a separate call-side noise filter, a combination that usually appears at double this price. Users consistently report that the charge readout removes the guesswork that kills cheaper pairs mid-shift. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for the Budi EP70B from buyers who already replaced two or three unbranded pairs. Test a set at our Kimathi Street counter before you commit.
Common Questions About the Budi EP70B
What is the difference between the ANC and ENC modes on the Budi EP70B?
ANC changes what you hear. ENC changes what the other person hears. Active Noise Cancellation samples steady low-frequency sound through a microphone, then feeds an opposite waveform into the driver so engine drone and fan hum fall away. Environmental Noise Cancellation runs only during calls, stripping background racket out of your outgoing voice before it reaches the network. The Budi EP70B carries both systems, so a call placed from a crowded stage stays usable at both ends of the line.
Is 15 hours of total battery enough for a full Kenyan workday?
Yes, for almost every daily pattern. Each Budi EP70B earbud gives six hours of music or five hours of talk at 60 percent volume, and the 300mAh cradle stores roughly one and a half extra refills for 15 hours combined. Somebody leaving Kasarani at 6:00 AM and reaching home at 8:00 PM listens in bursts rather than continuously, so the buds return to the cradle between sessions and top themselves up. A full recharge from empty takes about two hours.
What does the digital battery display on the Budi EP70B cradle tell me?
It shows numeric charge levels rather than a coloured light you have to interpret. Cheap earbuds usually give one LED that blinks red somewhere below 20 percent, which tells you nothing useful until it is already too late. The Budi EP70B readout lets you check the figure before leaving the house and decide whether to carry the cable. Users report this single feature settles most complaints about earbuds dying halfway through an afternoon of calls.
How does the adjustable bass control change what the Budi EP70B sounds like?
It shifts how much weight sits under the vocals. Turned up, gengetone, amapiano, and afrobeats gain the low thump those genres are mixed for. Turned down, the low end steps back so speech in a Zoom lecture, a podcast, or a recorded meeting stays intelligible without muddiness. Most earbuds at this price lock you into one fixed bass-heavy tuning. The Budi EP70B lets one pair cover both jobs, which matters when the same buds handle study time and gym time.
Does active noise cancellation make the Budi EP70B unsafe for walking in traffic?
It can, so switch the noise cancellation off near moving vehicles. ANC targets constant low-frequency sound, which includes the approaching engine of a boda boda or lorry. On a pavement along Mombasa Road or Tom Mboya Street, run the Budi EP70B with cancellation disabled and volume below roughly 60 percent so you still register a horn. Save the cancellation mode for a desk, a lecture hall, a long-distance bus, or a waiting room where nothing is moving toward you.
Why does the Budi EP70B cost KSh 3,800 when street stalls sell earbuds for KSh 800?
The gap sits in components you cannot see. A KSh 800 pair has no cancellation microphone, no call-side filter, an unmarked battery cell, and no warranty path once it fails. The Budi EP70B ships with a 12-month Mascom International warranty, a rated 35mAh cell per bud, a 300mAh cradle, and a support desk you can walk into. Buyers who replace three cheap pairs in a year spend more than KSh 3,800 and still end up with no cancellation.
How does the Budi EP70B handle a phone call from a busy open-plan office?
The ENC filter works on your outgoing voice, which is the half most people forget. Keyboard clatter, a colleague on another call, and air conditioning get reduced before your audio leaves the buds, so the client on the far end hears speech rather than the room. Cancellation on your side simultaneously drops the ambient level you are competing with, meaning you naturally speak at a lower volume. Users report shorter, calmer calls once they stop shouting over their own office.
Who is buying the Budi EP70B at Mascom International?
Three groups dominate. Contact centre and customer support staff take them for eight-hour shifts of continuous talking. Students at the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, and Strathmore buy them for revision in noisy hostels and for recorded lectures. The third group is commuters running long daily routes from Rongai, Ruiru, or Kitengela who want the engine drone gone. Field staff and drivers generally skip them, since situational awareness matters more than cancellation in those roles.
Technical Specifications
Dual Noise Reduction and Bass Adjustment
- Active Noise Cancellation targets steady low-frequency sound such as engine drone, generator hum, and air conditioning noise
- Environmental Noise Cancellation operates during calls, reducing background sound in your outgoing voice before transmission
- Adjustable bass setting shifts low-frequency weight, letting one pair serve both music listening and speech clarity
- Dynamic drivers handle the full range, with tuning that favours low-end presence for popular local music genres
- Silicone tips add passive isolation on top of the electronic cancellation, sealing out higher-pitched room noise
- Cancellation can be switched off, which is the correct setting when walking near moving traffic
- Both earbuds work as a stereo pair, keeping left and right channels synchronised for music and video
Radio Link and Handset Compatibility
- Wireless range reaches 10 metres in open space, covering a desk, a bedroom, or a small office
- Works with Android handsets, iPhone models, Windows laptops, MacBooks, and tablets using standard Bluetooth audio profiles
- No manufacturer application is required, which means no account setup and no extra storage used on your handset
- Buds pair automatically with the last connected device once lifted out of the charging cradle
- Walls, lift shafts, and concrete floors shorten effective range, so keep the handset in the same room
- Standard profiles support music playback, video sound, voice calls, and conferencing software such as Zoom or Teams
Cell Capacity and Charge Readout
- Each earbud carries a 35mAh lithium cell rated for six hours of music at 60 percent volume
- Talk time is rated at five hours per earbud, enough for most single customer-service or sales shifts
- The 300mAh charging cradle stores roughly one and a half additional refills for both buds combined
- Total runtime with the cradle reaches 15 hours, covering a working day plus the commute at each end
- Full recharge from empty takes approximately two hours for the buds and cradle together
- Digital display reports numeric charge levels rather than a single indicator light requiring interpretation
- Running cancellation continuously draws more current, so expect figures nearer the lower end of each rating
Cradle Finish and Everyday Handling
- Charging cradle uses a lychee-grain textured finish that resists slipping out of a hand or pocket
- Textured surface hides fingerprints better than gloss plastic, which matters in dusty Nairobi and upcountry conditions
- Lid closes over both buds, protecting the contacts from pocket lint, coins, and keys
- Compact footprint fits a shirt pocket, a laptop bag pouch, or a handbag without adding noticeable bulk
- In-ear fit with silicone tips holds position during walking, desk work, and light gym sessions
- No formal water resistance rating is published, so keep the set away from heavy rain and swimming
- Lightweight build reduces ear fatigue across long listening sessions compared with heavier over-ear alternatives
Gesture Commands and Microphone Duty
- Touch-sensitive surfaces on each bud handle playback, call answering, and cancellation mode switching without your handset
- Single tap typically pauses or resumes playback, keeping your phone in your pocket during a commute
- Double tap answers or ends an incoming call, useful when both hands are occupied
- Long press cycles the noise cancellation mode, letting you drop cancellation quickly at a road crossing
- Built-in microphone on each bud picks up your voice for hands-free calls and voice assistant commands
- Voice assistant access works with Google Assistant on Android and Siri on iPhone through the same gesture
- Either bud can be used alone for calls while the other charges, extending usable talk coverage
