Porodo Silenza Polarized Smart Glasses arrive with UV400 polarized lenses, open-ear dual speakers, touch-sensitive temple controls, a built-in microphone for calls, and magnetic charging at KSh 5,300, now available at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The Porodo Silenza combines sun protection and wireless listening in one frame, removing the need to carry separate sunglasses and earbuds. You wear one item that handles glare on the road and music on the move. Walk into our Kimathi Street showroom to try the fit and hear the speakers before you decide.
Built for boda boda riders, matatu commuters, joggers along Karura and Ngong Road, and field workers who spend hours under the equatorial sun, the Porodo Silenza keeps your phone in your pocket while you stay reachable. The polarized lenses cut the harsh glare bouncing off Thika Road tarmac and Mombasa's coastal water, so your eyes work less during long drives and outdoor shifts. Open-ear speakers let you hear traffic, colleagues, and announcements while music or a podcast plays, which matters when you cycle through Nairobi traffic or walk busy streets like Tom Mboya.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell budget audio sunglasses with no fitting option and no after-sales backing, Mascom International stocks the Porodo Silenza with a proper warranty and a service desk you can walk into. Customers across Nairobi report that the Porodo Silenza replaces both their daytime shades and their commute earbuds, which frees up pocket space and one charging cable. Order today and pay only when the glasses reach your door anywhere in Kenya.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Porodo Silenza Smart Glasses
How do the Porodo Silenza touch controls actually work?
The temple arm carries a touch-sensitive panel that responds to taps and holds, so you control playback without reaching for your phone. A single tap plays or pauses music, a double tap answers or ends a call, and a long press wakes Siri or Google Assistant on your paired phone. This matters when your hands are on handlebars, a steering wheel, or a tool, since you adjust audio with one finger on the frame. The controls sit where your fingers naturally rest, reducing the chance of missing a tap during movement.
Can I hear traffic and people while wearing the Porodo Silenza?
Yes. The Porodo Silenza uses an open-ear speaker design that sits above your ears rather than plugging the canal, so outside sound reaches you normally. You hear matatu horns, a colleague calling your name, and road announcements while audio plays in the background. This setup suits Nairobi cycling, walking through crowded markets, and driving, where blocking your ears would be unsafe. The trade-off is lower bass and reduced privacy compared to in-ear buds, since people standing close may hear faint sound at high volume.
Do the Porodo Silenza lenses protect my eyes in strong Kenyan sun?
The Porodo Silenza fits UV400 polarized lenses that block harmful ultraviolet rays and cut reflected glare. UV400 rating means the lenses screen the full ultraviolet range up to 400 nanometres, shielding your eyes during midday Nairobi, Kisumu, and coastal Mombasa exposure. Polarization filters the bright glare bouncing off wet roads, car bonnets, and lake or sea water, which reduces squinting and eye fatigue on long journeys. Drivers on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway and Lake Naivasha boat operators gain clearer vision and less strain across full-day use outdoors.
Will the Porodo Silenza connect to my phone over Bluetooth?
Yes. The Porodo Silenza pairs wirelessly with Android phones including Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, and Xiaomi, plus iPhones, tablets, and laptops. After the first pairing, the glasses reconnect on their own each time you power them on near your phone. The link handles music, podcasts, navigation prompts from Google Maps, and voice calls over Safaricom, Airtel, and Telkom lines. The built-in microphone carries your voice during WhatsApp and standard calls.
How long does the Porodo Silenza battery last on one charge?
The Porodo Silenza charges through a magnetic connector that snaps onto the temple, avoiding a fragile open port. A single charge covers several hours of music and calls, enough for a daily commute plus an evening walk before you top it up overnight. Magnetic charging reduces wear on the contacts and lets you reconnect the cable quickly in low light without hunting for a tiny socket.
Who should buy the Porodo Silenza at KSh 5,300?
The Porodo Silenza suits buyers who want sun protection and wireless audio in one affordable item rather than two separate purchases. At KSh 5,300, it costs less than most standalone earbuds, while adding polarized lenses that protect your eyes outdoors. Cyclists, runners, drivers, delivery riders, and university students moving between USIU, Strathmore, and Kenyatta University campuses gain hands-free calls and music without ear plugs. Buyers who need studio-grade sound, deep bass, or noise isolation should instead choose in-ear headphones, since open-ear glasses prioritise awareness over audio depth.
How is the Porodo Silenza different from regular Bluetooth earbuds?
The Porodo Silenza puts speakers, a microphone, and sun lenses into one frame you already wear outdoors, so nothing sits inside your ears. Earbuds block outside sound and can slip out during running or cycling, while these glasses stay put and keep you aware of traffic. You also drop one device from your bag, since the lenses replace your daytime shades. The honest limit is sound quality: earbuds deliver fuller bass and clearer audio in noisy places, so the glasses trade some richness for comfort and awareness.
Does Mascom International deliver the Porodo Silenza across Kenya?
Yes. Mascom International ships the Porodo Silenza to all 47 Kenyan counties with pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the glasses and pay only when they reach you. Nairobi orders arrive same day, while Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and other major towns receive delivery within one business day. Remote counties including Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit, Lamu, Tana River, and Turkana receive delivery within two to three business days. You can also walk into our Kimathi Street store Monday through Saturday to collect and test the glasses in person.
