Powerology Astro ANC Headphones are in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 8,100, brand new and sealed in Khaki. The Powerology Astro ANC Headphones use hybrid active noise cancellation rated to cut up to 30dB of outside sound, a 600mAh battery, and Bluetooth 5.4 with a 10-metre range. Sound covers 20Hz to 20kHz at 112dB sensitivity, and the ear cups carry customizable LED lights. Charging runs through a USB-C port, so a phone cable or power bank does the job. Pick yours up from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya.
Designed for content creators, developers, accountants, journalists and university students at Strathmore, USIU or the University of Nairobi, the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones handle focused work in loud places. Open-plan offices in Upper Hill, shared hostels and the drone of a matatu engine all make it hard to concentrate or hear a podcast clearly. Instead of turning the volume up to drown out the noise, hybrid ANC lowers the background first, so music and lectures stay clear at a gentler level. That is easier on your ears over an eight-hour day.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell no-name headphones that only claim noise cancelling, Mascom International stocks the genuine Powerology Astro ANC Headphones with a 12-month warranty and a walk-in counter for after-sales help. At Mascom International, we're seeing more remote workers and students ask for real ANC under KSh 10,000, and the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones answer that request. Buyers throughout Kenya also tell us the Khaki finish stands apart from the usual black. Come to Kimathi Street, switch the ANC on in our shop, and hear the difference before you pay.
Common Questions About the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones
What is the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones price in Kenya?
The Powerology Astro ANC Headphones sell for KSh 8,100 brand new and sealed at Mascom International, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That figure includes the Khaki unit, a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Within the same Powerology batch, the Open-Ear Air Conduction Earbuds cost KSh 6,400, which is KSh 1,700 less, and the ToneFlex Neckband Earphones cost KSh 3,900. You can pay by M-Pesa, card or cash once the parcel is in your hands.
How does the hybrid ANC on the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones work?
Hybrid ANC on the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones uses microphones both outside and inside each ear cup to measure noise and play an opposite sound wave that cancels it. The outer microphones catch noise before it reaches you, while the inner ones correct whatever still leaks through. Powerology rates the reduction at up to 30dB. Steady, low sounds such as engines, generators and air conditioning drop the most. Sudden sounds like a hooting matatu or a raised voice are softened rather than removed.
Are the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones good for matatu and boda boda commutes in Nairobi?
On a matatu, the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones take the edge off engine rumble and road noise, so you can follow a podcast without maxing out the volume. Bluetooth 5.4 holds a steady link to a phone in your pocket or bag. On a boda boda, keep the volume low or take them off, because you need to hear traffic around you. In dusty months, wipe the ear cups after the ride. During KPLC power cuts, the USB-C port charges from a power bank.
Should I choose the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones or the Powerology Open-Ear Air Conduction Earbuds?
Choose the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones if you want to shut out noise; choose the Open-Ear Air Conduction Earbuds, KSh 1,700 cheaper at KSh 6,400, if you want to stay aware of it. The Astro covers your ears and actively cancels background sound, which suits offices, flights and study sessions. The open-ear design leaves the ear canal free, so you hear traffic, colleagues and announcements while listening. Runners and cyclists usually prefer open-ear, while desk workers and commuters on long rides prefer the Astro.
How long does the battery last on the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones?
The Powerology Astro ANC Headphones carry a 600mAh battery, and Powerology describes battery life as long without publishing an exact hour figure for this model. Real hours depend on whether ANC is on, how loud you listen and whether the LED lights are running. Turning off the lights and ANC when you do not need them stretches each charge. Charging uses a standard USB-C cable, so a phone charger, laptop port or power bank all work. Our staff can share what other Nairobi buyers report.
Can I connect the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones to a laptop or TV?
Yes, the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones pair with any Bluetooth laptop, tablet, phone or smart TV through the device's normal Bluetooth menu. That covers Windows laptops, MacBooks, Android phones, iPhones and Android TVs used in many Kenyan homes. Bluetooth 5.4 is a recent version, which brings a more stable link and lower power draw than older headphones. Keep the source within about 10 metres. For video, most streaming apps keep speech in sync with the picture over a Bluetooth link.
What do the LED lights on the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones do?
The LED lights on the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones are a styling feature you can customize, giving the ear cups a lit accent for gaming setups, streaming or a night out. They do not change the sound. Like any light, they draw some battery, so switching them off is the simplest way to get more listening time per charge. Content creators filming in Nairobi studios often like the look on camera. Ask our team to show you the lighting options during a demo at Kimathi Street.
Who should buy the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones, and who should skip them?
Buy the Powerology Astro ANC Headphones if you work or study in noisy spaces, ride long matatu routes, or want real noise cancelling for KSh 8,100. They suit open-plan office staff, remote workers, students and frequent flyers out of JKIA. Skip them if you need something tiny for the gym or a run, since over-the-head headphones get warm and bulky. For workouts, the Powerology Open-Ear Air Conduction Earbuds suit better. For a cheaper everyday headset, the ToneFlex Neckband Earphones cost KSh 3,900.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware
- Frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz — covers the full band of human hearing, from bass lines to the top of a hi-hat.
- Sensitivity of 112dB plus or minus 3dB — the drivers get loud on little power, so phones drive them easily.
- High-definition sound tuning — aimed at clear vocals and balanced music for podcasts, playlists, lectures and video calls.
- Hybrid active noise cancellation — microphones inside and outside each cup work together to cancel background sound.
- Noise reduction rated up to 30dB — steady sounds such as engines, fans and generators drop sharply when ANC is on.
Wireless Connectivity
- Bluetooth 5.4 — one of the newest Bluetooth versions, giving a stable link and lower power use than older models.

Battery

- Battery hours vary with use — Powerology lists long battery life; volume, ANC and lighting decide the real figure.

- Customizable LED lighting on the ear cups — a lit accent that suits gaming desks, streaming setups and evenings out.
- Khaki finish — the colour in stock at Mascom International, a softer alternative to the usual black headphones.
