Clear calls and everyday music for USB-C phone owners who like seeing the yellow driver grille through each shell.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones are available at Mascom International for KSh 440, brand new and sealed, with a Type-C plug, an in-line microphone and an in-ear design. The Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones come from Amaya, a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, and plug straight into the USB-C port of a modern phone. Their transparent smoked housings show the yellow driver grille inside, so you can see the hardware you are paying for. Mascom International holds stock at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can try a pair before you pay.
Built for students, call-centre agents and remote workers across Kenya, the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones solve a growing problem: many new phones no longer have a 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead of hunting for an adapter that gets lost in a bag, you plug these earphones directly into the charging port. The in-line microphone picks up your voice for phone calls, WhatsApp voice notes and Zoom or Teams meetings. The in-ear fit seals out some of the engine noise on a matatu ride, so you can follow a podcast or lecture recording without raising the volume too far.
Where many sellers on Luthuli Avenue push unbranded copies at lower prices, Mascom International sells only sealed Amaya stock from a walk-in store with a service desk. The Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones cost KSh 40 more than the AEP-22 and AEP-13, a small gap for a pair whose clear shell lets you check the build at a glance. Customers across Nairobi tell us they like testing the plug on their own phone before buying. Visit us on Kimathi Street to try the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones
How much are the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones in Kenya?
The Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones cost KSh 440 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes Mascom's 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. You pay KSh 40 more than the Amaya AEP-22 or AEP-13, both KSh 400, and KSh 20 less than the Amaya AEP-11 at KSh 460. You can pay by M-Pesa or cash at the store, and our team will plug the pair into your phone first.
Will the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones work with my phone?
The Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones work with phones that have a USB-C port and support USB-C audio. That covers most recent Samsung, Xiaomi and Redmi, Tecno, Infinix and Oppo models, plus the iPhone 15 and later. Older iPhones with a Lightning port will not accept the plug. Phones with only a 3.5mm headphone jack need a 3.5mm pair such as the Amaya S13 instead. If you are unsure, bring your phone to our Kimathi Street store and test the pair before paying.
How do the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones compare with the Amaya AEP-22?
The Amaya AEP-18 and AEP-22 share a Type-C plug, an in-line microphone and an in-ear design, so housing and price separate them. The AEP-18 has transparent smoked shells that show a yellow driver grille, while the AEP-22 uses angled black metal housings and costs KSh 400. Pick the AEP-18 if you like a clear shell that lets you see the build inside. Pick the AEP-22 if you prefer a darker metal finish and want to save KSh 40.
Are the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones practical for daily use in Kenya?
The Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones suit Kenyan daily use because they draw power from the phone and never need charging. During a KPLC power cut, wireless earbuds can run flat, but a wired pair keeps working as long as your phone has battery. Calls sound the same on Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom because the earphones simply carry the phone's audio. Wipe the housings after a dusty walk through town, and keep the plug clean so it seats firmly in the port.
Can I use the AEP-18 microphone for Zoom classes and work calls?
Yes, the in-line microphone on the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones handles voice calls, WhatsApp voice notes and video meetings on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. The mic sits on the cable below your chin, close enough to pick up your voice in a quiet room. University students attending online lectures and remote workers on daily stand-ups use wired pairs like this every day. In a noisy office or a busy hostel, lift the mic a little closer to your mouth while you speak.
How can I tell genuine Amaya AEP-18 earphones from copies?
Genuine Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones come sealed in an Amaya Stereo Earphone box, with transparent smoked housings that show a yellow driver grille. Copies sold loose on the street rarely come sealed, and a loose plug or crackling cable is a common warning sign. Buying from Mascom International means sealed stock from a store with a physical address and a service desk. Ask, and we open the box in front of you so you can check the plug, the mic and both earpieces.
How comfortable are the Amaya AEP-18 earphones for long hours?
The Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones use an in-ear design, where soft tips sit just inside the ear canal and hold each earpiece in place. A good seal blocks some outside noise, so you can listen at a lower volume, which is easier on your ears over a long shift. Call-centre agents and students on long study sessions should still take short breaks every hour or so. If the tips feel loose, press them in gently and twist slightly until they seal.
Who should buy the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones, and who should skip them?
The Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones suit anyone with a USB-C phone who wants a simple wired pair for calls and music at KSh 440. Students, call-centre agents and commuters who do not want to charge another gadget get the most from them. Skip them if your phone has only a 3.5mm jack; the Amaya S13 at KSh 140 fits that phone. Skip them too if you want no cable to the phone; the Amaya AEB-211 Neckband Earphones at KSh 1,300 run wirelessly for 18 hours.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware
- Stereo sound with separate left and right channels — music, films and game audio keep their direction, so voices and effects sit where the producer placed them.
- Yellow driver grille visible through the shell — the driver is the small speaker inside each earpiece that turns the phone's signal into sound.
- Digital audio through the USB-C port — the phone sends sound out through its charging port, so no separate headphone jack is needed.
- In-ear seal that blocks some outside noise — you hear podcasts and lectures clearly at lower volume, which is easier on your hearing over time.
- Suited to everyday listening — handles music streaming, YouTube, voice notes and recorded lectures rather than studio mixing or professional recording work.
Connection and Compatibility
- Type-C plug — fits the USB-C port found on most phones and tablets sold today, including the iPhone 15 and later models.
- Needs USB-C audio support on the phone — most recent Samsung, Xiaomi, Redmi, Tecno, Infinix and Oppo phones support it with no settings change.
- Not for Lightning or 3.5mm-only phones — older iPhones and phones with only a headphone jack need a different pair, such as the Amaya S13.
- Plug and play — no app, pairing or Bluetooth setup; plug the earphones in and the phone switches its audio to them straight away.
- Works with tablets too — a USB-C tablet that supports USB-C audio plays films and online classes through the earphones the same way a phone does.
Cable and Plug
- Wired connection with no battery — the earphones draw power from the phone, so there is nothing to charge and nothing to run flat.
- Single cable that splits into left and right leads — the shared section keeps the two sides together and cuts down on tangles in a pocket.
- Reversible Type-C connector — USB-C fits either way up, so you never have to turn the plug over to find the right side.
- No adapter required on USB-C phones — saves the cost of a separate dongle that is easy to misplace in a bag or pocket.
- Charging and listening share one port — on most phones you cannot charge while the earphones are plugged in, so top up before long calls.
Build and Durability
- Transparent smoked housings — the tinted clear plastic shows the internal parts, so you can judge the build quality before you buy.
- In-ear design with ear tips — soft tips sit inside the ear canal, holding each earpiece steady while you walk, commute or study.
- Compact earpieces — small shells sit close to the ear, so the pair stays comfortable through a lecture, a commute or a long call shift.
- Brand new and sealed stock — each pair comes in its original Amaya Stereo Earphone box, untouched until you open it.
- Simple care — wipe the housings and tips with a dry cloth and store the pair loosely coiled to protect the cable joints.
Controls and Inputs
- In-line microphone — a small mic on the cable picks up your voice for calls, voice notes and video meetings without holding the phone.
- Hands-free calling — keep the phone in your pocket or bag and talk through the earphones while carrying shopping or walking to class.
- Clear voice pickup in quiet rooms — suits Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls from a home desk, an office or a library.
- Volume set on the phone — adjust loudness with your phone's own volume buttons or the on-screen slider, the same as with its speaker.
- Voice notes on the move — record WhatsApp and Telegram voice notes with the mic close to your mouth and away from wind noise.
Package Contents
Each sealed Amaya Stereo Earphone box contains one pair of Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones, with ear tips fitted and the Type-C plug attached to the cable. There is no adapter, charger or carrying case in the box, and none is needed on a USB-C phone that supports USB-C audio. If your phone has only a 3.5mm jack, ask our team about the Amaya S13 or FPM S10 instead. We can open the box at the counter so you can check both earpieces and the mic.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Amaya AEP-18 Stereo Earphones with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If a pair develops a fault such as a silent earpiece, a failed microphone or a plug that stops working, bring it to our Nairobi CBD service desk, where our team handles the claim.
