Sound that sits outside the canal, keeping traffic audible while you take calls, train and commute.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds are open-ear ear-hook buds with up to 25 hours of playtime with the charging case, available at Mascom International for KSh 2,500. Part of Amaya's OpenBuds series, the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds use a carbon-fibre mesh in their build, which Amaya describes as lightweight, durable and flexible. Each pair arrives brand new and sealed, with an oval black charging case finished in a carbon pattern. Amaya is a Chinese mobile-accessories maker, and you can see and try a pair at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD.
Designed for people who spend long days on the move, the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds suit sales teams, estate agents, logistics coordinators and university students at JKUAT or Kenyatta. The usual problem with in-ear buds is that they seal you off: you miss a hooting matatu, a boda boda turning, or a colleague calling your name. Because these buds rest outside the ear canal, outside sound still reaches you while music or a call plays. The hooks wrap over the top of each ear, so the buds stay put on a jog through Karura Forest or a gym session.
Where many Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded copies with no receipt, Mascom International sells the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds as genuine, sealed stock backed by a written 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us open-ear buds are what finally let them wear earphones through a whole workday without sore ears. Know the trade-off before you buy: open designs give lighter bass and leak more sound than sealed buds. Walk in to test the fit, or order the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds
How much are the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds in Kenya?
The Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds cost KSh 2,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the two earbuds, the oval charging case, a USB Type-C charging cable and our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you check the box before paying in cash or by M-Pesa. If you want the same open-ear ear-hook style for a little less, the Amaya ATW-510 Wireless Earbuds sell at KSh 2,300, a KSh 200 difference.
How long does the Amaya ATW-500 battery last?
The Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds give up to 25 hours of playtime in total, counting the top-ups from the charging case. Amaya rates that figure as combined buds-plus-case time and does not print a separate figure for the buds alone, so plan on listening in sessions with rests in the case between them. For most commuters, 25 hours covers a week of morning and evening rides plus a few lunchtime calls before the case needs its own charge.
Are the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds good for phone calls?
The Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds are built with calling in mind, and Amaya's box singles out call quality as a headline feature. Because the buds sit outside your ear canal, your own voice sounds natural to you, which makes long calls less tiring than with sealed buds. Remote workers on Zoom or Teams from home will appreciate that. In a loud place such as a busy bus stage, the open design lets more background noise reach you, so you may need to raise the volume.
How do the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds compare with the Amaya ATW-30 Wireless Earbuds?
The Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds cost KSh 450 more than the Amaya ATW-30 Wireless Earbuds and swap a clip-on fit for an over-ear hook. The ATW-30 is a FreeClip design at KSh 2,050 that clasps the ear, rated at 20 hours with Bluetooth 6.0 and a 12mm driver. The ATW-500 adds five more hours of total playtime and a carbon-fibre mesh build. Pick the hook for running and gym work; pick the clip for all-day discreet wear and a lower price.
Can the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds handle dust, sweat and daily commutes in Kenya?
Amaya does not publish a water or dust rating for the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds, so treat them as everyday buds rather than waterproof sports gear. The carbon-fibre mesh build is meant to be durable and flexible, which helps when they get stuffed into bags during matatu rides. Wipe sweat off after a workout, keep the case closed in dusty weather, and keep them out of the rain. They work with any phone on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom, since the network makes no difference to Bluetooth earbuds.
Who should buy the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds, and who should skip them?
Buy the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds if you jog, walk busy roads or take calls all day and want to hear what is happening around you. Students, field sales staff and people who exercise outdoors get the most from that awareness. Skip them if you want deep bass, privacy on a crowded bus, or quiet on a long flight. For that, the Amaya ATW-ANC38 Wireless Earbuds at KSh 2,500 add active noise cancellation, which cuts steady engine noise, plus ENC for cleaner calls.
Do the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds work with iPhone and Android phones?
The Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds pair over Bluetooth with Android phones, iPhones, tablets and most laptops. Open the case near your phone and select the earbuds in the Bluetooth menu; after that first pairing they normally reconnect when you open the case. Amaya does not list app support, so there is nothing extra to install. You will hear M-Pesa alerts, WhatsApp voice notes and Google Maps directions through them like any other Bluetooth audio device.
Are the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds comfortable for long wear?
The Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds suit long wear because nothing presses inside your ear canal. They rest on the outer ear with hooks over the top, and the flexible carbon-fibre mesh lets the hooks bend to fit different ear sizes. Customers who wear earbuds through six-hour stretches, such as accountants and call-centre staff, tell us this style causes less soreness than in-ear tips. If you wear glasses, try them in store first, since the hook shares space with the spectacle arms.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware and Sound Profile
- Open-ear acoustic design — sound is aimed into the ear from outside the canal, so traffic and nearby voices stay audible.
- Amaya OpenBuds series tuning — suited to clear voices, podcasts and everyday music rather than heavy, club-style bass.
- Lighter bass than sealed in-ear buds — normal for open designs, because no silicone tip traps low notes inside the ear.
- Some sound leakage at high volume — people seated beside you in a quiet room may hear faint music.
- Stereo playback through two independent buds — separate left and right channels for music, video and games on your phone.
Wireless Connectivity
- Bluetooth wireless connection — pairs with Android phones, iPhones, tablets and Windows or Mac laptops without any cable.
- True wireless layout — no wire between the buds, so nothing snags on a bag strap, seatbelt or collar.
- Pair once from your phone's Bluetooth menu — after that, the buds normally reconnect when you lift them from the case.
- No companion app listed — everything runs from the buds and your phone's own settings, with nothing extra to download.
- All phone audio routes through the buds — calls, voice notes, videos and navigation prompts play without touching the handset speaker.
Battery and Charging
- Up to 25 hours of total playtime with the charging case — roughly a working week of commutes and calls.
- Charging case stores and recharges the buds — dropping them back in between sessions tops them up automatically.
- USB Type-C charging — the same connector most current Android phones use, so one charger can serve both devices.
- Charge the case from a wall adapter, laptop USB port or power bank — useful when mains power drops at home.
- Playtime varies with volume and calling — loud music and long calls drain the buds faster than quiet podcasts.
Build and Durability
- Carbon-fibre mesh construction — Amaya describes it as lightweight, durable and flexible for daily handling.
- Flexible ear hooks — bend to sit over small or large ears without pinching, and spring back into shape afterwards.
- Oval black charging case with a carbon-pattern finish — rounded edges slip into a pocket or bag compartment easily.
- No published water or dust rating — wipe sweat off after exercise and keep the buds out of heavy rain.
- Brand new and sealed from Amaya — not a repackaged copy, display unit or customer return.
Controls and Inputs
- Controls on the buds — touch or button controls on each bud handle playback and calls without reaching for your phone.
- Built-in microphones for calling — Amaya promotes call quality on the box, for phone, WhatsApp and Teams conversations.
- Phone-side control always available — volume, track skipping and call answering also work from your phone screen.
- Ear-hook stability while using controls — the hook holds each bud steady, so pressing a control does not knock it loose.
- Voice notes and navigation prompts — the microphones and speakers handle recording, playback and spoken directions alike.
Package Contents
The Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds come in Amaya's sealed retail box, opened only when you choose to inspect it. Inside you get the left and right open-ear ear-hook earbuds, the oval black charging case with its carbon-pattern finish, and a USB Type-C charging cable. Because these are open-ear buds, there are no silicone ear tips to swap. A wall adapter is not included; any USB phone charger you already own will power the case.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Amaya ATW-500 Wireless Earbuds with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If a bud, the case or the charging function fails because of a factory fault, bring the set with your receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk and we will handle the claim.
