Shokz OpenMove is available at Mascom International for KSh 12,500, a brand new and sealed set of bone conduction headphones with Bluetooth 5.1, IP55 sweat and dust protection and up to 6 hours of music per charge. Made by Shokz, the Shokz OpenMove sits on your cheekbones instead of inside your ears, weighs 29g and charges over USB-C. Dual noise-cancelling microphones handle calls, and multipoint pairing keeps it linked to a phone and a laptop together. You can try a pair at Mascom International in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Built for runners, cyclists, boda boda riders, security guards and office workers across Kenya, the Shokz OpenMove solves a real safety problem. Regular earbuds block the hooting matatu behind you on Ngong Road or the cyclist calling out on a Karura Forest trail. Because the Shokz OpenMove leaves your ear canal open, you hear traffic and voices while your playlist or podcast continues. People who find in-ear buds sore after an hour, or who wear glasses all day, also get a comfortable option. The wraparound titanium band holds steady through morning runs in Kilimani and long stretches of standing at work.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell copied bone conduction headsets with no warranty, Mascom International stocks the genuine Shokz OpenMove with a 12-month warranty and a walk-in service desk. At Mascom International, we're seeing runners from Nairobi and Eldoret choose the Shokz OpenMove as their first open-ear headset. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the light fit and road awareness are why they keep wearing it. Visit our store to try it on, or pay by M-Pesa when the courier reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Shokz OpenMove
How much is the Shokz OpenMove in Kenya?
The Shokz OpenMove costs KSh 12,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the headset, a USB-C charging cable, a storage case and a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. Delivery anywhere in Kenya is pay-on-arrival, so you check the sealed box before paying. It is the lowest-priced Shokz model in our current stock, KSh 5,000 below the Shokz OpenRun Air 2 at KSh 17,500.
Shokz OpenMove vs Shokz OpenRun Air 2: which should you buy?
The Shokz OpenMove at KSh 12,500 is the entry bone conduction pick, while the Shokz OpenRun Air 2 at KSh 17,500 is a more sport-focused model in the same open-ear family. Both are in stock at Mascom International. The OpenMove charges over USB-C, plays for about 6 hours and suits daily commutes, gym sessions and office calls. Runners who train hard and often may prefer the OpenRun Air 2. Choose the OpenMove if you want open-ear listening at the lowest outlay.
Is the Shokz OpenMove good for running and cycling on Kenyan roads?
Yes, the Shokz OpenMove is a sound choice for road running and cycling, because it leaves your ears open to approaching vehicles and voices. That matters on busy routes like Waiyaki Way, Mombasa Road or the Eldoret highway shoulder. The IP55 rating handles sweat and light rain on a run. Bone conduction also means nothing falls out of your ears mid-sprint. Keep the volume moderate so ambient sound stays clear.
How long does the Shokz OpenMove battery last and how fast does it charge?
The Shokz OpenMove plays music for up to 6 hours per charge and holds standby for up to 10 days, according to Shokz. That covers a week of 45-minute runs or several days of commuting. It charges fully in about 2 hours through USB-C, the same cable type most current phones use. During a KPLC outage, a phone power bank tops it up. Charge it only when dry, after wiping sweat off the port.
Can you take calls on the Shokz OpenMove in noisy places like a matatu?
The Shokz OpenMove has dual noise-cancelling microphones that focus on your voice, so callers hear you more clearly over street noise. On a loud matatu or at a busy bus stage, you will still hear the surroundings, because your ears stay open. That is the trade-off of bone conduction. For quiet office calls and Microsoft Teams meetings in Upper Hill, it works well. It pairs with Safaricom, Airtel or Telkom phones the same way, over Bluetooth.
Does the Shokz OpenMove work with glasses and for people with sensitive ears?
The Shokz OpenMove works comfortably with glasses, because the band sits behind the ears and the transducers rest on your cheekbones. Nothing goes inside the ear canal, which helps people who find earbuds painful or prone to causing irritation. The whole headset weighs 29g, so it is easy to forget it is there. Some users need a day or two to get used to the light vibration from bone conduction.
Who should buy the Shokz OpenMove and who should skip it?
Buy the Shokz OpenMove if you run, cycle or walk near traffic and want to hear your surroundings, or you dislike in-ear buds. It suits students, security staff and fitness beginners. Skip it if you want deep bass or quiet on a flight; the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, also at Mascom International, fit that buyer. Swimmers should skip it too, as it is not built for pools; the Shokz OpenSwim Pro handles that.
Can the Shokz OpenMove connect to two devices at once?
Yes, the Shokz OpenMove supports multipoint pairing, so it can stay linked to two devices, such as your phone and laptop. A call on your phone can come through while you were listening to music from a laptop. It uses Bluetooth 5.1 with a range of about 10 metres, enough to leave the phone on a desk and walk across a room. That suits accountants and lawyers who switch between a work laptop and a personal phone.
