JBL Tune 110 in-ear headphones are in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 1,600, brand new and sealed, with 9mm drivers, JBL Pure Bass tuning and a 3.5mm plug. The JBL Tune 110 weighs just 12.7 grams and runs on a flat cable of about 1.1 metres that resists knots in a pocket or bag. A single-button remote with a built-in microphone lets you take calls and pause tracks without touching your phone. Mascom International sells the JBL Tune 110 from our walk-in shop in Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and delivers nationwide.
Designed for students, shop attendants, boda boda dispatch riders on breaks and anyone replacing a lost pair, the JBL Tune 110 handles music, voice notes and phone calls on a small budget. Many buyers reach us after paying for knock-off earphones that crackled or went silent on one side within a month. The JBL Tune 110 answers that with real JBL drivers, a cable that does not twist into knots, and a 12-month warranty. Kenyan university students at the University of Nairobi and Moi University tell us it is their go-to pair for revision playlists and recorded lectures.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix genuine and copied JBL stock on the same shelf, Mascom International sells the JBL Tune 110 sealed and covered by a written warranty from a fixed address. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the JBL Tune 110 is the pair they buy in twos, keeping one at home and one in a work bag. If you want a slightly louder pair with a different sound, the JBL T50HI sits KSh 400 higher on our shelf. Visit the shop to try both, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the parcel reaches you.
Common Questions About the JBL Tune 110
What is the JBL Tune 110 price in Kenya?
The JBL Tune 110 sells for KSh 1,600 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed with a 12-month warranty. You pay on arrival, by cash or M-Pesa, after checking the pair, and delivery reaches all 47 counties. That makes the JBL Tune 110 the lowest-priced JBL headset in our current batch, KSh 400 below the JBL T50HI. Stepping up to wireless, the JBL Tune 125BT costs KSh 2,000 more, so the wired pair saves real money for buyers on a budget.
JBL Tune 110 or JBL T50HI: which wired JBL earphones should I buy?
Choose the JBL Tune 110 for the lower price and flat anti-tangle cable, or the JBL T50HI for extra loudness. The JBL Tune 110 uses 9mm drivers rated at 96 dB sensitivity and 16 ohms. The JBL T50HI uses 8.6mm drivers rated at 101 dB and 30 ohms, so it plays louder at the same volume setting. Both carry a one-button mic remote and a 3.5mm plug. If KSh 400 matters more than volume, the JBL Tune 110 is the sensible pick.
Does the flat cable on the JBL Tune 110 really stop tangles?
The flat cable on the JBL Tune 110 is far less likely to knot than a round cord, because its ribbon shape resists twisting. When you pull the earphones from a jacket pocket after a long walk through Westlands, they usually come out ready to wear. The flat shape also spreads strain across the wire, which helps it survive daily coiling. For the longest life, loop the cable loosely rather than wrapping it tightly around your phone, since sharp bends weaken any wire over time.
Will the JBL Tune 110 hold up in Kenyan dust, heat and rain?
The JBL Tune 110 copes with everyday city use, but JBL gives it no water-resistance rating, so keep it out of heavy rain. A sudden downpour on Tom Mboya Street is the main risk; tuck the earphones under your jacket until you reach shelter. Dust from dry-season roads can clog the ear tips, so rinse the removable tips in clean water and let them dry fully. Heat inside a parked car will not harm the drivers, though a cool drawer is better storage.
Who is the JBL Tune 110 right for, and who should look elsewhere?
The JBL Tune 110 is right for buyers who want a genuine JBL headset under KSh 2,000 for calls, music and study. It suits teenagers, second-pair buyers, call-heavy shop staff and anyone whose device has a 3.5mm socket. Look elsewhere if your phone has only a USB-C port; the JBL Tune 310C plugs into that directly. Gym regulars and runners are better served by the JBL Tune Flex 2 earbuds, which drop the cable altogether.
Is the JBL Tune 110 loud enough for a phone or laptop?
The JBL Tune 110 plays at a comfortable listening level from any phone or laptop, because its 16-ohm drivers need only a small amount of power. Low impedance means your device does not have to work hard to push sound through them. With 96 dB sensitivity, most users find half volume plenty for music indoors. On a noisy Thika Road bus you may turn it up further, so keep an eye on the level to protect your hearing over long journeys.
Does the JBL Tune 110 work with laptops, tablets and game controllers?
The JBL Tune 110 works with any device that has a 3.5mm headphone socket, including laptops, tablets and many game controllers. The PS5 DualSense Controller and the Xbox Wireless Controller both carry a 3.5mm jack, so you can game and chat with friends online. On laptops with a combined headset socket, the microphone works for Zoom and Teams calls too. Phones with only USB-C or Lightning ports need an adapter, which Mascom International sells and can test in store.
Is the JBL Tune 110 worth buying in Kenya at KSh 1,600?
The JBL Tune 110 is worth buying in Kenya if you want genuine JBL sound for about KSh 4.40 a day across its 12-month warranty. That works out cheaper than replacing a no-name pair every few weeks, which is what many of our customers did before. You get real JBL tuning, a usable microphone for Safaricom and Airtel Kenya calls, and a seller you can find again if a fault appears. For a basic wired headset, that combination is hard to beat locally.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware and Pure Bass Tuning
- 9mm driver in each earpiece — a small speaker that turns the electrical signal into sound, sized for full bass from a compact earbud.
- JBL Pure Bass Sound — JBL's house tuning that lifts low notes, so drums and basslines come through without turning up the volume.
- Frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz — the JBL Tune 110 reproduces everything from low rumbles to high hi-hats that people can hear.
- Sensitivity of 96 dB at 1 kHz — a loudness rating showing how much sound the earphones produce from a set amount of power.
- Impedance of 16 ohms — a low electrical load, so phones and budget laptops drive the JBL Tune 110 without strain.
Wired Connection and Device Compatibility
- 3.5mm headphone plug — fits the standard round socket on laptops, tablets, many Android phones, radios and in-flight entertainment screens.
- Remote and mic work across Android and iPhone — the single button handles calls and playback on both phone platforms.
- Compatible with PS5 and Xbox controllers — plug into the controller's headphone socket for game audio and voice chat with friends.
- USB-C and Lightning phones need an adapter — a 3.5mm adapter with a built-in converter chip restores full sound and microphone use.
- Instant connection — no Bluetooth pairing, apps or firmware updates, so the JBL Tune 110 plays the moment it is plugged in.
Power Without a Battery
- No battery inside — the JBL Tune 110 runs from your device's headphone socket, so you never wait for it to charge.
- Zero charging cables — nothing to plug into a wall, which suits hostels, offices and homes with limited sockets.
- Works through power outages — as long as your phone or laptop has charge, the earphones keep playing and taking calls.
- No battery ageing — the JBL Tune 110 performs the same in its second year as on day one, unlike wireless earbuds.
- Light on your phone battery — a wired connection uses less phone power than Bluetooth streaming during long listening sessions.
Build, Weight and Cable
- 12.7 grams total weight — about the weight of three coins, so the earphones sit lightly through long study sessions or shifts.
- Flat tangle-free cable — the ribbon-shaped wire resists knotting in pockets and bags, saving time every time you take it out.
- Cable length of about 1.1 metres — enough to reach from a desk laptop or trouser pocket to your ears without pulling.
- Not water resistant — JBL lists no waterproof rating, so wipe off sweat and keep the JBL Tune 110 away from rain.
- Available in Black, White, Blue and Red — four colour options, so family members can tell their pairs apart at a glance.
Controls and Microphone
- Built-in microphone — captures your voice for phone calls, WhatsApp voice notes and online meetings without holding the phone up.
- One-button remote — press once to answer or end a call, or to pause and resume whatever you are playing.
- Hands-free calling — handy for shop staff serving customers, drivers using a legal setup, or anyone typing while on a call.
- Assistant shortcut on many phones — a long press can open Google Assistant or Siri, depending on your phone's settings.
- Remote placed on the cable — sits within easy reach below the chin, so you find the button without looking down.
Package Contents
