White housing, sealed silicone tips, and a quarter-hour recharge that carries an afternoon of revision at Strathmore.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Budi EP71W True Wireless Earphones are now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,800, pairing hybrid active noise cancellation with a 13mm dynamic driver in each bud. The white housing carries touch-sensitive surfaces for playback and calls, and the charging case refills over USB-C from any phone charger you already own. Every Budi EP71W leaves our counter brand new and sealed. Collect the Budi EP71W at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order the Budi EP71W for delivery anywhere in the country.
Noise is the tax nobody prices in. A Strathmore student revising in a shared hostel, a receptionist at a Westlands practice fielding calls beside a printer, and a long-distance passenger on the Nairobi to Kisumu run all lose the same thing: the ability to hear clearly without pushing volume to a level that damages hearing. The Budi EP71W attacks the constant low-frequency layer first, since engine drone, air conditioning, and generator hum sit exactly where active cancellation works. Once that layer drops, speech and music sit comfortably at half the volume you used before.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock unbranded white earbuds with no model number and no warranty path, Mascom International sells the Budi EP71W as a catalogued unit backed by 12-month cover and a counter you can walk into. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the same story: two or three cheap pairs bought and binned inside a year, each one costing KSh 1,200 and lasting four months. At Mascom International, we're seeing that pattern break once people spend once on a set with real cancellation hardware. Try the Budi EP71W at our Kimathi Street counter before you buy.
Common Questions About the Budi EP71W
How long does the Budi EP71W take to charge before a shift?
About 15 minutes in the case returns roughly three hours of listening, which covers most single shifts or a lecture block. A full charge of both buds takes around ninety minutes, and the case itself refills in about two hours from a standard 5V phone charger. Plugging the case in overnight is the simplest routine. If you forget, the quarter-hour refill while you shower or eat breakfast is usually enough to reach lunchtime without silence.
Does switching noise cancellation on shorten Budi EP71W battery life?
Yes, by roughly a fifth. Cancellation runs a microphone and a processing circuit continuously, and that draw comes out of the same 30mAh cell that powers the driver. Expect closer to four hours with cancellation active and nearer five with it switched off. Most people run it selectively rather than constantly: on during the commute and in a noisy office, off at a quiet desk. Used that way, one charge spans a working day with the case handling refills.
Can the Budi EP71W connect to a laptop and a phone at the same time?
Not simultaneously. The Budi EP71W holds one active Bluetooth connection at a time, so a laptop and a handset cannot both stream to it without switching. Moving between them takes a few seconds: disconnect from the first device in its Bluetooth menu, then select the buds on the second. Anyone running back-to-back Teams calls on a laptop and personal music on a phone should expect that small step several times daily.
Will the white Budi EP71W discolour with daily use in Kenya?
White plastic does pick up marks faster than black, mostly from pocket dust, denim dye, and skin oils around the ear tips. The case takes the worst of it because it rides in bags and pockets. A dry microfibre cloth once a week handles most of it, and a slightly damp cloth lifts anything stubborn. Keep liquid away from the charging contacts and the bud mesh. Buyers who carry the case in a dedicated pouch report almost no marking after months.
Which ear tip size should I fit on the Budi EP71W?
Start with the medium tips already fitted, then judge by seal rather than comfort alone. If cancellation sounds weak or bass sounds thin, the seal is leaking and you need the larger size. If your ear canal aches after twenty minutes, drop to the small tips. A correct seal matters more to noise reduction than the cancellation circuit itself, because passive isolation blocks the higher frequencies active cancellation cannot reach. Test both sides separately, since canal sizes often differ.
Are the Budi EP71W good enough for Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings?
For joining meetings, yes. The microphone picks up speech clearly at desk distance, and the cancellation keeps room noise from forcing you to raise your voice. For hosting a recorded session or a client presentation, a wired headset still sounds better, because Bluetooth compresses the outgoing voice channel and drops audio quality while the microphone is live. Students attending online classes at Kenyatta University or USIU will find these fine for several hours of listening and occasional speaking.
Can I use the Budi EP71W with a television or a PlayStation console?
With a television, usually yes if the set supports Bluetooth audio output; check the sound settings menu first. With a PlayStation 5, not directly, since Sony's consoles do not accept standard Bluetooth headphones without a USB dongle. Even where pairing works, expect an audio delay of roughly 100 to 200 milliseconds, which passes unnoticed during films but ruins rhythm games and competitive shooters. For gaming audio, a wired set through the controller jack remains more dependable.
What happens if one Budi EP71W earbud stops working after two months?
Bring both buds, the case, and your receipt to our Kimathi Street counter. Two months sits well inside the 12-month cover, so a single dead bud caused by a manufacturing fault is assessed and handled there. Earbuds are replaced as a matched pair rather than singly, because left and right units bond to each other at the factory. Loss, water damage, and crushed housings fall outside. Customers upcountry start the process on WhatsApp and ship the set to us.
Technical Specifications
Noise Suppression Layers and Driver Output
- Hybrid active cancellation samples outside sound through a microphone and feeds an inverted waveform into each driver
- Cancellation depth reaches roughly 22 decibels against steady low-frequency noise such as engine drone and air conditioning
- Call-side noise reduction works on the outgoing channel so the person on the other end hears speech
- A 13mm dynamic driver sits in each bud, favouring the low-end weight suited to afrobeats, amapiano, and gengetone
- Frequency response spans roughly 20Hz to 20kHz, covering the full range most listeners can actually hear
- Silicone tips add passive isolation above the cancellation band, blocking higher-pitched sound the circuit cannot reach
Pairing Behaviour and System Support
- Bluetooth 5.3 handles the link with lower power draw and steadier connection than earlier 5.0 hardware
- Effective range reaches ten metres in open space, covering a desk, a bedroom, or a small office
- Works with Android handsets, iPhone models, Windows laptops, MacBooks, and tablets through standard Bluetooth audio profiles
- Buds reconnect to the last paired device the moment you lift them out of the case
- No manufacturer application is needed, which means no account signup and no storage taken on your handset
- Concrete walls, lift shafts, and metal partitions shorten range, so keep the handset in the same room
- Standard profiles cover music playback, video sound, voice calls, and conferencing software including Zoom and Google Meet
Runtime Figures and Rapid Refill
- Each earbud carries a 30mAh cell rated near four hours of music with cancellation switched on
- Talk time runs closer to three hours per charge, enough for a typical block of client calls
- The 300mAh case stores roughly three additional refills, lifting combined runtime to about sixteen hours
- Fifteen minutes in the case returns approximately three hours of playback, useful when overnight charging was missed
- A full charge of both buds takes about ninety minutes; the case itself refills in two hours
- USB-C charging works from any 5V phone charger, laptop port, or power bank you already carry
Casing Materials and Comfort Over Long Wear
- Moulded polycarbonate case closes over both buds, protecting the charging contacts from pocket lint, coins, and keys
- White finish shows dust and marks faster than darker shells, so weekly wiping keeps it presentable
- Each bud weighs roughly four grams, light enough to avoid ear fatigue across long revision sessions
- In-ear stem design holds position during walking, desk work, and light indoor training without constant readjustment
- Three ear tip sizes let most canal shapes reach a proper seal, which cancellation depth depends on
- No formal ingress rating is published, so keep the set clear of heavy rain and swimming pools
- Case footprint slips into a shirt pocket, a laptop sleeve pouch, or a handbag without noticeable bulk
Onboard Controls and Voice Pickup
- Touch surfaces on each bud manage playback, calls, and cancellation modes without reaching for your handset
- A single tap pauses or resumes audio, keeping your phone in your pocket during a commute
- Double tap answers or ends an incoming call, which helps when both hands are carrying something
- Long press cycles cancellation on and off, letting you restore awareness quickly at a busy road crossing
- Built-in microphones handle hands-free calls and voice assistant requests through the same touch gestures
- Google Assistant on Android and Siri on iPhone both respond through the assigned gesture without extra setup
- Either bud works alone for calls while the other charges, extending usable talk coverage across a shift
