The oraimo OpenSnap is now available at Mascom International for KSh 3,400, a clip-on open-ear set running Bluetooth 5.4 with a 10.8mm dynamic driver, IPX4 water resistance and up to 26 hours of total playtime. Each oraimo OpenSnap earbud weighs around 5 grams and hangs on a 0.4mm titanium-alloy memory wire that clips over the ear instead of plugging into the canal. You can buy the oraimo OpenSnap in person at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order for delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. At KSh 3,400, the oraimo OpenSnap works out to roughly KSh 9 per day across a year of use.
The oraimo OpenSnap suits people who need to hear the road and their music at the same time. Boda boda riders, cyclists, and runners along Kenyatta Avenue or Karura trails keep both the traffic and the playlist in their ears. Matatu commuters, gym-goers, and delivery riders who sweat through in-ear buds get an open fit that keeps the ear canal clear and dry. University students at JKUAT, Kenyatta, and USIU can take back-to-back Zoom lectures without ear fatigue. The open design solves the two problems in-ear buds create for active users: blocked awareness and moisture build-up during long wear.
At Mascom International, we're seeing open-ear buds move from a niche pick to a daily choice for Kenya's active buyers. The oraimo OpenSnap lands at a price most in-ear sets can't touch while adding dual-device pairing, an ENC calling mic, and a low-latency game mode. Buyers across Nairobi tell us the clip-on hold stays put through a full workout where standard buds slip. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to clip a pair on and test the fit, or order the oraimo OpenSnap for pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide.
Common Questions About the oraimo OpenSnap
How long does the oraimo OpenSnap battery actually last?
The oraimo OpenSnap runs up to 6 hours on a single charge, and the case adds about 20 hours more, for roughly 26 hours total between wall charges. That covers a full week of a 45-minute matatu commute each way, or several gym sessions, before you need the socket again. The case recharges over USB-C, the same cable that charges most modern Android phones, so you rarely carry an extra cord.
Is the oraimo OpenSnap good for calls in noisy places?
Yes. The oraimo OpenSnap carries an ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) microphone system, which filters steady background noise like matatu engines or office fans so the person on the line hears your voice, not the street. This trims call-side noise, not what you hear, since the open design keeps you aware of your surroundings by choice. For riders and field staff taking calls near Tom Mboya Street or Mombasa Road traffic, that means fewer "sorry, say that again" moments during work calls.
How does an open-ear earbud stay on without going into the ear?
The oraimo OpenSnap uses a clip-on shape with a 0.4mm titanium-alloy memory wire that wraps the outer ear and holds the speaker just beside the canal. At about 5 grams per side, the buds sit light enough to forget while still gripping through running, cycling, and gym work. The wire flexes to your ear shape and springs back, so the hold stays consistent day to day. Because nothing enters the canal, there is no pressure or plugged-up feeling during long wear.
Can the oraimo OpenSnap connect to my phone and laptop at the same time?
Yes. The oraimo OpenSnap supports dual-device connection, so it holds a link to two gadgets at once, for example your Safaricom phone and your work laptop. When a call rings on the phone while you watch a lecture on the laptop, audio shifts to the call without you re-pairing. You switch the feature on through the free oraimo Sound app on Google Play or the App Store. This suits students and remote workers juggling a video meeting and a phone line through one set of buds.
Is the oraimo OpenSnap safe to wear in the rain or during a sweaty workout?
The oraimo OpenSnap holds an IPX4 rating, meaning it resists splashes and sweat from any direction, though it is not built for swimming or heavy soaking. That handles a sudden Nairobi afternoon shower, a sweaty session at the gym, or a humid Mombasa jog. Wipe the buds dry before returning them to the case. The open, canal-free design also lets sweat escape rather than pool inside your ear, which keeps longer workouts more comfortable and cleaner.
Does the oraimo OpenSnap work for mobile gaming?
Yes. The oraimo OpenSnap includes a low-latency game mode that cuts the delay between what happens on screen and what you hear, so gunshots and footsteps in games like Call of Duty Mobile line up with the picture. You toggle it in the oraimo Sound app. Bluetooth 5.4 keeps the link stable within about 10 metres of the phone. The trade-off of any wireless bud remains slight lag versus wired, but game mode narrows it enough for casual and competitive mobile play.
What sound quality can I expect at this price?
The oraimo OpenSnap runs a 10.8mm dynamic driver tuned with oraimo's Bass Boost algorithm, larger than the 6mm-to-8mm drivers common in budget buds, which helps it push more low-end for an open-ear set. Open-ear audio always leaks some bass to the air, so expect clear vocals and steady mids with respectable, not booming, bass. For podcasts, calls, Afrobeats, and gospel on the commute, it holds up well. Audiophiles chasing deep sub-bass should look at sealed in-ear or over-ear models instead.
Why buy the oraimo OpenSnap from Mascom International?
Mascom International sells the genuine oraimo OpenSnap with a 12-month warranty, real after-sales support from our Nairobi CBD desk, and pay-on-arrival delivery so you only pay once the buds are in your hand. Unlike online listings where fit is a gamble, you can clip a pair on at our Kimathi Street store first. We stock both colour options and confirm the box contents before you leave. That combination of a physical store, a warranty, and inspect-before-you-pay delivery is what buyers across Kenya rely on us for.
