Mascom International sells the Amaya ATW-23 to university students at Kenyatta University, Strathmore, and USIU, to matatu and boda boda commuters, and to sales staff who spend the day on calls between Industrial Area and Mombasa Road. Most buyers in this price bracket have already lost a pair of wired earphones to a snapped cable or a failed 3.5mm jack. The Amaya ATW-23 removes the cable entirely. Its semi-in-ear shape rests on the outer ear rather than sealing the canal, so you still hear matatu conductors, hooters, and the colleague at the next desk.

At Mascom International, we're seeing budget wireless audio outsell wired earphones in every county we ship to. Kenyan online marketplaces list the ATW-23 between KSh 1,499 and KSh 1,550, so our counter price of KSh 1,300 saves you KSh 199 to KSh 250 on the same product. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, we let you pair the Amaya ATW-23 with your own phone before any money changes hands. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the Hall switch sells them: open the lid and the buds connect on their own. Call or WhatsApp +254 708 852 521 for pay-on-arrival delivery.

Yes, for a first pair of true wireless buds. KSh 1,300 buys 13mm drivers, Bluetooth 6.0, a USB-C case, and 20-24 hours of combined playtime, which is more than most sub-KSh-2,000 sets carry. Kenyan marketplaces price the same model at KSh 1,499 to KSh 1,550. What you give up at this figure is active noise cancellation and a confirmed water-resistance rating. If those two matter to you, budget KSh 4,000 upward instead.

Each earbud runs roughly 4 to 6 hours per charge at moderate volume, and the 300mAh case adds three to four full refills for 20 to 24 hours in total.A one-hour Thika Road commute each way for five days runs the case flat once weekly, not daily.

Semi-in-ear means the earbud sits in the outer bowl of your ear instead of pushing into the ear canal. Pressure and heat build up far more slowly, so three-hour lecture blocks or long shifts stay comfortable. The trade-off is real: less passive sealing, so loud environments bleed through. Riders, joggers along Ngong Road, and anyone crossing Nairobi streets on foot gain a safety margin from that ambient awareness.

No, not through active cancellation. The Amaya ATW-23 has no ANC hardware, and the semi-in-ear fit deliberately leaves your ears partly open. Kenyan retailers list environmental noise reduction, but that filter works on your outbound voice during calls, not on music playback. Inside a loud matatu you will raise the volume. For quiet commutes, lectures, offices, and home listening the open fit is a benefit rather than a shortcoming.

Each earbud carries its own microphone, so you can leave one bud in the case and take calls in mono on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, or Telkom Kenya lines. Voice pickup holds up in offices, cars, and quiet streets. On a windy Mombasa Road pavement or beside heavy traffic, callers will hear background noise. WhatsApp calls, Zoom sessions, and Google Meet audio all route normally once the buds are paired.

Yes. The Amaya ATW-23 uses standard Bluetooth profiles, so it pairs with any iPhone, Android phone, Windows laptop, tablet, or television set that supports Bluetooth audio. Open the case near the device, select ATW-23 in the Bluetooth menu, and pairing completes in seconds. Range runs to about 10 metres in open space, enough to leave your phone charging on a desk while you move around a room.

Tapping the touch surface on either earbud plays or pauses music, answers or ends a call, and skips tracks. A long press wakes Google Assistant or Siri. The Hall switch is a magnetic sensor in the lid: opening the case powers the buds on and reconnects them to the last paired device, closing it powers them down and starts charging. No buttons, no app setup, no pairing menu after the first time.

Treat it as sweat-tolerant, not waterproof.Light gym sweat and a short dash through a downpour are survivable; a soaked shirt pocket or a rinse under a tap is not. Keep the charging case dry at all times, since its USB-C port and contacts are the parts most likely to corrode in coastal humidity around Mombasa, Malindi, and Diani.

Three reasons. You pay KSh 1,300 rather than the KSh 1,499 to KSh 1,550 listed elsewhere. You can pair the buds with your own phone at our Kimathi Street counter before paying, which catches a dead unit immediately instead of after a return process. And every unit carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty handled at our Nairobi CBD desk, so a fault means walking into a real shop rather than opening a support ticket.

The Amaya ATW-23 retail box from Mascom International contains the left and right earbuds, the 300mAh USB-C charging case, a short USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and the printed user manual. No wall adapter is supplied, so use any existing 5V phone charger or a laptop USB port for top-ups. Mascom International stocks compatible 20W USB-C wall chargers separately for buyers who want faster case refills.

The Amaya ATW-23 carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty on manufacturing defects under normal use. Coverage runs from the date of purchase and is handled directly at our Nairobi CBD service desk. Physical damage, liquid ingress, and normal battery capacity loss over time fall outside the terms. Keep your receipt for any claim.

Every pair is covered by the 6-month warranty stated above, with claims coordinated at our Nairobi CBD service desk.

Buyers across Kenya rely on Mascom International for honest specifications, current market pricing, and after-sales backing on every audio accessory we stock.
