oraimo OpenArc is now available at Mascom International for KSh 6,200, bringing open-ear wireless sound to Kenyan buyers who want music without blocking their ears. This oraimo OpenArc (model OPN-675) uses air-conduction drivers, Bluetooth 5.4, and a 4-microphone call system, with up to 8 hours of listening per charge and 36 hours total using the case. Each earbud weighs 10g and carries an IPX5 sweat and splash rating. You can buy the oraimo OpenArc at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and test the fit in person before paying.
The oraimo OpenArc is built for runners, cyclists, gym-goers, and boda boda commuters who need to hear traffic while they listen. Standard in-ear buds seal the ear canal and cut you off from matatu horns, colleagues, and road hazards. The open-ear design of the oraimo OpenArc rests the driver just outside your ear, so you stay aware of your surroundings on Thika Road, in the gym, or during a Karura Forest run. Remote workers, call-centre staff, and content creators taking long calls also gain a lighter, pressure-free fit that stays comfortable through a full workday.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell earbuds from a locked display case, Mascom International lets you handle the oraimo OpenArc, feel the titanium ear hook, and confirm the fit before purchase. Users consistently report that the open-ear shape stays put through workouts while causing none of the ear fatigue of sealed buds. Buy the oraimo OpenArc at our Nairobi CBD store, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. Reach Mascom International on +254 708 852 521 to place your order today.
Common Questions About the oraimo OpenArc
Is the oraimo OpenArc good for running and workouts in Kenya?
Yes. The oraimo OpenArc is made for movement, with an IPX5 rating that shrugs off sweat and light rain during runs, gym sessions, and outdoor training. Each earbud weighs only 10g and hooks over the ear using a 0.7mm titanium memory wire wrapped in soft silicone, so the fit holds during jumps, sprints, and cycling. Because the driver sits outside the ear canal, you still hear traffic on Ngong Road or Uhuru Highway, which matters for safety when road running or cycling in Nairobi. Nothing plugs your ear, so long sessions stay comfortable.
How long does the oraimo OpenArc battery actually last?
The oraimo OpenArc runs up to 8 hours on a single charge, enough for a full working day of music or several gym sessions. The charging case adds roughly 28 more hours, giving 36 hours of total listening before you reach a wall socket. A 10-minute quick charge from the case returns about 2 hours of playtime, so a short top-up before a run keeps you covered. The case refills over USB-C in about 1.5 hours. For most Kenyan commuters, that means charging once or twice a week under normal daily use.
What is open-ear air conduction and is it safe for my ears?
Open-ear air conduction means the oraimo OpenArc sits just outside your ear canal and directs sound inward without sealing or plugging the ear. Nothing enters the canal, so there is no pressure, no wax build-up trap, and better airflow for hygiene. This suits people prone to ear irritation or allergies from silicone tips. It also keeps you situationally aware, letting you hear conversations, matatu conductors, or approaching vehicles while music plays. The trade-off is that open-ear sound leaks slightly and has lighter bass than sealed buds, though the HavyBass tuning lifts low tones noticeably.
Does the oraimo OpenArc handle calls clearly outdoors?
Yes. The oraimo OpenArc carries a 4-microphone array with environmental noise cancellation that isolates your voice from background sound. A beamforming setup and noise-reduction algorithm cut wind and street noise, which helps on busy Nairobi pavements or during a windy coastal walk in Mombasa. Callers hear your voice rather than the boda engine behind you. The open-ear fit also lets you hear your own voice naturally, so you do not shout on calls the way sealed buds sometimes cause. This makes the OpenArc practical for sales teams and field staff taking calls on the move.
Can I connect the oraimo OpenArc to two devices at once?
Yes. The oraimo OpenArc supports dual-device connection, letting you pair a phone and a laptop at the same time through the oraimo Sound app. You can watch a video on your laptop and still take an incoming call on your Safaricom or Airtel line without re-pairing. The buds prioritise calls automatically and switch between the two connected devices. This suits remote workers juggling a work laptop and a personal phone, and mobile gamers who want game audio on a tablet while staying reachable by phone. Bluetooth 5.4 keeps the link stable within a 10-metre range.
Is the oraimo OpenArc good for gaming and video?
Yes. The oraimo OpenArc includes a low-latency game mode that syncs audio to on-screen action, reducing the delay between what you see and what you hear. Paired over Bluetooth 5.4, this keeps footsteps and gunfire aligned with the picture in mobile titles, and keeps dialogue matched to lips when streaming on YouTube or Netflix. The open-ear fit lets you hear your doorbell, family, or a knock while gaming, which sealed buds block out. For casual mobile gamers across Kenya, the OpenArc offers a comfortable, low-lag option without shutting out the room.
Is the oraimo OpenArc worth KSh 6,200 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 6,200, the oraimo OpenArc sits below most branded open-ear rivals while offering Bluetooth 5.4, 36-hour total battery, IPX5 protection, 4-mic ENC, and app control. Comparable open-ear sets from other brands often cost two to three times more in Nairobi shops. oraimo backs the product with local availability and spare-part support that grey-import earbuds lack. For a buyer who wants situational awareness, sweat resistance, and long battery in one affordable set, the OpenArc gives strong value. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the fit and battery life justify the price.
How does the oraimo OpenArc compare to regular in-ear earbuds like the SpaceBuds?
The oraimo OpenArc keeps your ears open, while in-ear sets like the oraimo SpaceBuds seal the canal for stronger bass and passive noise isolation. Choose the OpenArc when you need to hear your surroundings, want a pressure-free fit for long wear, or find silicone tips uncomfortable. Choose sealed in-ear buds when you want deeper bass or quiet in a noisy matatu. The OpenArc trades a little bass and isolation for comfort, hygiene, and awareness. Both connect over Bluetooth and support app control, so the choice comes down to how you listen day to day.
