Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2 is now available at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, for KSh 2,900. These true wireless earbuds combine active noise cancellation, Bluetooth 5.3, and up to 30 hours of total listening time through the charging case. Each earbud runs about 4 hours of playback per charge, while the case holds an 80-day standby reserve when stored. The Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2 recharge over USB-C in roughly 70 minutes, or wirelessly in about 100 minutes. At KSh 2,900, the Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2 rank among the most affordable noise-cancelling earbuds stocked in Kenya today.
Daily commuters, university students, and budget-conscious office workers across Kenya form the core buyers for these earbuds. Matatu rides along Thika Road or Mombasa Road get loud, and the noise cancellation cuts engine drone so you hear music or podcasts more clearly. Field staff taking Safaricom and Airtel calls between meetings use the built-in microphone for hands-free conversations. Gym members at fitness centres in Westlands and the CBD value the in-ear fit that holds during movement. For anyone who lost or broke costlier buds, this pair gives a low-risk replacement for everyday listening without straining the budget.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock unbranded buds with no support, Mascom International backs the Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2 with a real warranty and direct after-sales service. Porodo is an established Middle East accessory brand, not an anonymous import. Users consistently report that the touch controls respond well and the case slips easily into a pocket or bag. At KSh 2,900, buyers get active noise cancellation and wireless charging, features usually found on earbuds costing two or three times more. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to test a pair, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2
How well does the noise cancellation work on the Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2?
The active noise cancellation reduces steady background sound such as matatu engines, fans, and air conditioning hum. It works best on low, constant noise rather than sudden voices or car horns. At KSh 2,900, this is entry-level ANC, not the depth found on Sony or Bose models costing ten times more. A transparency mode lets you switch off cancellation to hear announcements or traffic when walking through the CBD. For commutes and office use, the effect is noticeable and useful.
How long does the battery last on a single charge?
Each earbud lasts about 4 hours of continuous playback per charge with noise cancellation switched on. The charging case adds several more top-ups, bringing total listening time to roughly 30 hours before the case itself needs power. The case standby holds for up to 80 days unused. A full earbud recharge takes about 70 minutes over USB-C. For a typical day of commuting, calls, and music, you will recharge the case every few days rather than daily.
Do these earbuds work with my iPhone and Android phone?
Yes. The Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2 use Bluetooth 5.3, which pairs with any iPhone, Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, or Oppo phone sold in Kenya. There is no app required for basic use. A pop-up pairing prompt helps the buds connect quickly the first time. The built-in voice assistant button triggers Siri on iPhone or Google Assistant on Android. Wireless range reaches about 10 metres in open space, enough to leave your phone charging on a desk while you move around.
Can I use these earbuds for phone calls in noisy places?
The earbuds carry a built-in microphone for hands-free calls on Safaricom, Airtel, and Telkom lines. In quiet rooms and offices, callers hear you clearly. In windy or very loud settings, such as a busy boda boda stage, voice pickup weakens, as it does on most earbuds at this price. Touch controls let you answer or end a call with a tap, without reaching for your phone. For WhatsApp calls and Zoom meetings indoors, call quality stays reliable for daily work.
Are the Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2 good value at KSh 2,900?
For KSh 2,900, these earbuds deliver features rarely found at this price in Kenya. You get active noise cancellation, Bluetooth 5.3, wireless charging, and touch controls in one pair. Many earbuds under KSh 3,000 lack noise cancellation entirely. The trade-off is that sound and ANC depth match the budget tier, not high-end pairs. For students, commuters, and backup buds, the value is strong. Buyers wanting studio-grade audio should look at higher-priced JBL or Sony models that Mascom also stocks.
Do the earbuds support wireless charging?
Yes. The charging case accepts both USB-C cable charging and Qi wireless charging pads. Wired charging fills the case in about 70 minutes, while wireless charging takes around 100 minutes. This means you can drop the case onto a wireless pad already used for your phone, with no separate cable needed. Wireless charging at this price point is uncommon, since most budget earbuds rely on cable charging only. The flexibility suits office desks and bedside tables where a charging pad already sits.
Will these earbuds stay in my ears during a workout?
The in-ear design with silicone tips creates a snug seal that holds during gym sessions, jogging, and brisk CBD walks. The earbuds are lightweight, so extended wear causes little ear fatigue. Three ear-tip sizes ship in the box, letting you match the fit to your ear shape for better grip and bass. Sweat resistance handles light gym moisture, though these are not built for heavy rain or swimming. For most workout routines, the fit stays secure through regular movement.
What is the difference between these and genuine Apple AirPods?
The Porodo Soundtec ANC Earbuds Pro 2 are a Porodo product, not Apple AirPods, and the two are completely separate brands. Genuine Apple AirPods Pro cost over KSh 30,000 and use Apple's H2 chip with deeper noise cancellation and spatial audio. These Porodo earbuds cost KSh 2,900 and target buyers who want noise cancellation and wireless charging at an entry price. Both work fine with iPhones, but the Porodo pair is a budget alternative, not an Apple device or a copy claiming to be one.
