Hush engine roar during a Ngong Road jam so every word of an important phone conversation lands clearly.
Condition: New

Budi EP61W True Wireless Earbuds are now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,000, fitted with active noise cancelling, drivers covering 20Hz to 20kHz, and a USB-C charging case rated for more than 20 hours of combined listening. Each bud runs up to 4 hours per charge and holds standby power for up to 200 hours. The Budi EP61W links over Bluetooth 5.0 at distances up to 10 metres, working with phones, tablets, and laptops. Pick up the Budi EP61W at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Background noise is the problem the Budi EP61W was made to attack. Matatu sound systems on Thika Road, generator hum inside Industrial Area workshops, and open-plan office chatter push most people to raise volume until their ears pay for it. Active noise cancelling trims the low, steady drone first, so music or a caller's voice sits above the background at a safer level. Call centre agents in Westlands, students revising at Kenyatta University, sales reps working the CBD, and accountants closing month-end books all describe the same result: fewer repeats on calls, and less tiredness by 5:00 PM.
Unlike the unbranded lookalike buds sold on Nairobi backstreets, the Budi EP61W publishes real figures 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, 32-ohm impedance, and sensitivity of 105 plus or minus 3dB. Those are numbers a buyer can check instead of guess at. Customers across Nairobi report that the touch panel picks up calls on the first tap and that the case refills both buds in one to two hours. Mascom International backs the Budi EP61W with a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop for a listen, or order and pay when the parcel reaches you.
Common Questions About the Budi EP61W
How much noise does the Budi EP61W block during a matatu ride?
Active noise cancelling works best on constant low-frequency sound, which is exactly what a matatu produces: engine drone, road rumble, and tyre noise. Expect that layer to drop noticeably, letting you listen at a lower, safer volume. Sudden sounds behave differently. Hooting, a conductor shouting fare, and sharp door slams still come through, since they sit in higher frequencies that no earbud at this price fully removes. Silicone tips sealing the ear canal do much of the remaining work.
What battery life does the Budi EP61W give with noise cancelling switched on?
Budi rates each bud at up to 4 hours of playback, with the charging case pushing combined runtime past 20 hours before the case itself needs power. Noise cancelling draws extra current, so real playback with the feature active typically lands closer to 3 to 3.5 hours per charge. Standby stretches to roughly 200 hours in the case. For most Kenyan users that means a full working day of on-and-off listening, with an overnight case refill every three or four days.
Is Bluetooth 5.0 still good enough for music and calls today?
Yes, for everyday listening. Bluetooth 5.0 handles stereo music, phone calls, WhatsApp voice notes, and video without dropouts at up to 10 metres, and it draws less power than older 4.2 radios. Newer 5.3 and 5.4 buds mainly improve multipoint pairing and shave a few milliseconds off video sync. If you spend hours on competitive mobile gaming, that latency gap matters. For music, calls, YouTube, and Zoom sessions, the Budi EP61W connection holds steady across a normal room.
How long does a full charge take, and what cable does the Budi EP61W use?
A full charge takes one to two hours through the USB-C port on the charging case. That is the same connector already used by most current Android phones, so one cable serves both devices. The box supplies a USB-A to USB-C cable, which plugs into any standard phone charger, laptop port, or power bank. No wall adapter is included. Any 5V charger you already own works safely; there is no need for a fast charger here.
Will the Budi EP61W stay in place while walking or jogging?
The in-ear shape with silicone tips grips the ear canal rather than resting loosely in the outer ear, which is why sealed buds generally hold better during movement than open shapes. Each bud measures 3cm by 2.5cm by 2.5cm and weighs very little, so there is minimal mass to shake loose on a jog through Karura or a walk down Moi Avenue. Try the fit at our Kimathi Street counter before buying, since ear shapes differ.
Can I reach Google Assistant or Siri through the Budi EP61W?
Yes. The Budi EP61W supports voice assistant activation, so a long press on the touch panel opens Google Assistant on Android or Siri on iPhone, depending on which phone is paired. From there you can dictate a message, ask for directions, or start a call without pulling your phone out of a pocket. This matters on a boda ride or while carrying shopping. The assistant itself runs on the phone, so mobile data or Wi-Fi must be active.
How does the Budi EP61W compare with lookalike earbuds sold on Nairobi streets?
Street-sold copies rarely publish specifications, carry no warranty, and often fail within weeks when the case battery dies. The Budi EP61W lists its frequency range, impedance, sensitivity, and charge times openly, ships in sealed retail packaging, and comes with 12 months of Mascom International cover. Budi is an established accessories brand with regional distribution rather than an anonymous import. You also get a physical shop on Kimathi Street to return to if something goes wrong.
Which everyday users benefit most from noise cancelling at KSh 3,000?
Anyone who spends over an hour daily in loud surroundings. That covers commuters riding matatus between Rongai and town, security staff on night shifts near busy roads, students sharing noisy hostels at JKUAT or Moi University, drivers taking calls in traffic, and market traders handling orders by phone. Office workers in open-plan floors around Upper Hill use it to concentrate during report deadlines. Casual listeners who mostly play music at home gain less from the feature.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware and Sound Output
- Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20kHz, covering deep bass through to high detail in vocals and cymbals.
- Impedance measures 32 ohms, a standard figure that lets phones drive the buds without a separate amplifier.
- Sensitivity is rated at 105 plus or minus 3dB, meaning usable volume arrives at moderate phone settings.
- True wireless stereo separates left and right channels, keeping instrument placement intact rather than collapsing to mono.
- Active noise cancelling reduces constant low-frequency sound such as engines, fans, generators, and air conditioning units.
- Built-in microphones handle voice calls, WhatsApp calls, and video meetings without needing a separate headset.
Wireless Connectivity and Device Pairing
- Bluetooth 5.0 connects to phones, tablets, laptops, and any other Bluetooth-capable audio source.
- Operating range reaches up to 10 metres, enough to leave your phone charging across a room.
- Pairing works with both Android and iPhone; no application download is required for basic operation.
- Voice assistant support opens Google Assistant or Siri through a long press on the touch surface.
- Buds pair to each other automatically on removal from the case, then reconnect to the last device.
- Bluetooth 5.0 draws less power than older versions, extending playback time on the same battery capacity.
Battery Life and Charging Behaviour
- Each bud provides up to 4 hours of playback per charge under normal listening volume.
- The charging case extends combined runtime beyond 20 hours before the case itself requires power.
- Standby time reaches up to 200 hours, so a partly charged case survives a weekend unused.
- Full charging takes one to two hours through the USB-C port fitted to the case.
- Noise cancelling shortens per-charge playback slightly, since the processing circuit draws additional current continuously.
- USB-C means the same cable charges the case and most current Android phones in Kenya.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Housings use ABS plastic with silicone ear tips, a combination that resists sweat and light knocks.
- Each bud measures 3cm by 2.5cm by 2.5cm, small enough to sit flush against the ear.
- The charging case measures 5.5cm by 5.5cm by 3cm, fitting easily into a shirt pocket.
- Total shipped weight is roughly 0.11kg including case and cable, adding almost nothing to a bag.
- White finish shows dirt more readily than dark colours, so wipe the case weekly during dusty seasons.
Controls, Inputs, and Voice Assistant Access
- Touch panels on each bud handle play and pause without reaching for the paired phone.
- Track skipping moves forward and backward through a playlist using short taps on either side.
- Volume adjustment runs directly from the buds, so phones can stay in a bag or pocket.
- Call answering and ending work from the same touch surface, useful while driving or carrying items.
- A long press triggers the phone's voice assistant for dictation, searches, and hands-free calling.
- USB-C on the case is the only physical port; there is no 3.5mm wired listening option.
