Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones are in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 400, brand new and sealed in their original box. The Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones pair a Type-C plug with an in-line microphone, an in-ear design and angled black metal housings fitted with soft tips. Made by Amaya, a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, they connect through the USB-C port that most current phones use for charging. You can collect a pair from Mascom International at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and test it on your own phone at the counter before handing over a single shilling.

Designed for commuters, gym regulars and customer-service teams, the Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones handle calls and music without a battery to charge. Phones without a headphone jack leave many buyers stuck with a fragile adapter or costly wireless earbuds. This pair removes that step: plug it into the USB-C port and the phone routes sound and the microphone straight to it. The angled metal shells point each tip into the ear canal, so the fit stays steady on a morning jog round Karura Forest or a long walk between crowded lecture halls at JKUAT.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell loose, unboxed earphones, Mascom International hands over the Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones sealed and lets you check them before paying. At KSh 400 they match the price of the Amaya AEP-17 and AEP-13 while offering a darker metal finish. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a black metal shell hides everyday scuffs better than glossy plastic. Walk into our Kimathi Street store, or send a WhatsApp message to order the Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones with pay-on-arrival delivery.

Common Questions About the Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones

What is the Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones price in Kenya?

Mascom International sells the Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones for KSh 400, brand new and sealed, at its Nairobi CBD store. The price covers a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and you can pay on arrival when we deliver to any of the 47 counties. The pair costs KSh 40 less than the Amaya AEP-18 at KSh 440 and the same as the AEP-17 and AEP-13. Lipa na M-Pesa and cash are both accepted at the counter.

Why do the Amaya AEP-22 earphones have angled housings?

The Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones use angled housings so each tip points into the ear canal at a natural slant rather than straight out. That angle helps the tip seal against the ear, which keeps bass from leaking away and blocks part of the noise around you. A steadier fit also means the earpieces are less likely to slip out when you turn your head. The black metal finish gives the shells a solid feel in the hand.

Which is better, the Amaya AEP-22 or the Amaya AEP-17?

The Amaya AEP-22 and AEP-17 both cost KSh 400 and both use a Type-C plug, an in-line microphone and metal housings. The difference is finish and shape: the AEP-22 has angled black metal shells, while the AEP-17 has silver metal housings. Choose the AEP-22 if you want a darker look and a tip angled toward the ear canal. Choose the AEP-17 if you prefer a bright silver finish that stands out against dark clothing.

Do the Amaya AEP-22 earphones hold up to sweat, dust and commuting in Kenya?

The Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones have metal housings that resist everyday knocks better than thin plastic, which suits daily commuting in Kenya. They carry no water-resistance rating, so wipe off sweat after a workout and keep them away from rain. Dust is the bigger threat in Nairobi: clean the tips weekly and blow out the Type-C plug before inserting it. Coil the cable loosely in a pocket on a boda boda ride rather than wrapping it tightly round the phone.

Do the Amaya AEP-22 earphones work with an iPhone?

The Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones work with the iPhone 15 and later, because those models use a USB-C port that supports USB-C audio. Plug them in and iOS switches calls and music to the earphones automatically. Earlier iPhones with a Lightning port cannot take the Type-C plug, and a Lightning adapter would be needed. Owners of those models may find a 3.5mm pair with an Apple Lightning to 3.5mm adapter simpler. Bring your iPhone to Kimathi Street and test the pair first.

Are the Amaya AEP-22 earphones good for call-centre and customer-service work?

The Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones suit call-centre and customer-service work on a mobile phone, thanks to the in-line microphone and a fit that stays put. Agents handling Safaricom or Airtel customer lines from a phone can talk hands-free while typing notes. The in-ear seal lowers background chatter, so callers are easier to hear without turning the volume right up. For desk work on a computer all day, a headset with a boom microphone may suit you better.

Can I charge my phone while using the Amaya AEP-22?

On most phones you cannot charge and use the Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones at the same time, because both need the single USB-C port. Charge your phone fully before a long call or a study session, or keep a power bank nearby for breaks. Phones with a separate headphone jack can use a 3.5mm pair while charging instead. Some USB-C splitters allow both, but results vary by phone, so test any splitter in store before relying on it.

Who should buy the Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones, and who should skip them?

The Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones fit buyers with a USB-C phone who want a durable, dark wired pair for KSh 400. Commuters, gym users, call-centre agents and students at Strathmore or JKUAT will find them easy to live with. Skip them if your phone has a 3.5mm jack and you want to spend less; the Amaya S13 costs KSh 140. If cables annoy you, the Amaya AEP-E10D Neckband Earphones at KSh 1,600 give you up to 75 hours of wireless music.

Technical Specifications

Audio Hardware

Two-channel stereo playback — the left and right earpieces receive separate signals, so music and films keep the width the artist intended.
Driver inside each angled shell — the driver is the tiny speaker that turns the phone's signal into sound you can hear.
USB-C digital audio — sound leaves the phone through its charging port, which is why no 3.5mm headphone jack is needed.
Angled tips that seal in the ear — a firm seal keeps low notes from leaking and lets you listen comfortably at modest volume.
Everyday listening focus — built for streaming music, podcasts, sermons and recorded lectures rather than studio monitoring or music production.

Connection and Compatibility

Type-C plug — connects to the USB-C port on most current Android phones and on the iPhone 15 and later.
USB-C audio required — the phone must send audio through its port; most recent Samsung, Xiaomi, Redmi, Tecno, Infinix and Oppo phones do.
Lightning and jack-only phones excluded — older iPhones and phones with only a 3.5mm jack need a different pair or an adapter.
Instant switching — no pairing, app or Bluetooth menu; the phone moves audio to the earphones the moment the plug goes in.
USB-C tablets supported — a tablet with USB-C audio plays films and online classes through the earphones exactly as a phone would.

Cable and Plug

Battery-free design — power comes from the phone, so the earphones never need charging and never die halfway through a call.
Y-shaped cable — one main lead from the plug branches into left and right wires, which keeps the pair easier to untangle.
Reversible USB-C connector — the plug fits either way round, so you can insert it without looking, even in a dark matatu.
Direct connection with no dongle — nothing extra sits between the phone and the earphones, so there is one less part to lose.
One port shared with charging — most phones cannot charge while the plug is in, so keep the battery topped up beforehand.

Build and Durability

Angled black metal housings — metal shells feel solid in the hand and stand up to daily knocks better than thin plastic shells.
Matte dark finish — black metal hides light scuffs and fingerprints, so the pair keeps a tidy look after months of pocket use.
In-ear tips fitted — soft silicone-style tips sit in the ear canal and keep each earpiece from sliding out as you move.
Factory-sealed retail box — each pair arrives in an unopened Amaya Stereo Earphone box, so you are the first to use it.
Easy upkeep — wipe the metal and tips with a dry cloth after use and keep the plug free of dust and lint.

Controls and Inputs

In-line microphone — a small mic on the cable carries your voice on calls and video meetings while the phone stays in your pocket.
Hands-free talking — answer calls through the earphones while cooking, carrying bags or taking notes during a client call.
Meeting-ready voice pickup — works with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams for online classes, interviews and remote work check-ins.
Phone-controlled volume — set loudness with the phone's side buttons or on-screen slider, as you would with its built-in speaker.
Voice notes and recordings — capture WhatsApp voice notes or quick memos with the mic held near your mouth for clearer speech.

Package Contents

Inside the sealed Amaya Stereo Earphone box you get one pair of Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones, with tips already on the angled black metal housings and the Type-C plug on the cable. The box holds no charger, adapter or pouch, and a phone with USB-C audio needs none of these. If your phone uses a 3.5mm jack, our staff can show you the Amaya S13 or FPM S10. Ask us to open the box at the counter to check the pair before you leave.

Warranty

The Amaya AEP-22 Stereo Earphones carry a 6-month warranty from Mascom International that covers manufacturing defects under normal use. If an earpiece goes quiet, the microphone stops picking up your voice or the plug fails within that time, bring the pair to our Nairobi CBD service desk to make a claim.
