Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: What is the price range for open-ear earbuds in Kenya? A: At Exelic Gadgets, we cater to all budgets. Prices start from just KSh 3,500 for the highly capable Soundcore V20i, up to KSh 31,500 for the premium Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
- Q: Will people around me hear what I am listening to? A: Very little! Modern open-ear earbuds (like the Shokz OpenFit 2 and Bose Ultra) use highly directional sound beams. Unless you are playing music at 100% volume in a dead-silent room, the person sitting next to you will not hear your audio.
- Q: Do you offer Pay on Delivery? A: Yes! For customers within Nairobi and its environs (including Kiambu, Syokimau, and Rongai), we offer full Pay on Delivery. You can inspect your factory-sealed box before making your payment.
- Q: Can I use these for phone calls? A: Absolutely. All our open-ear models feature built-in microphones. Models like the Shokz OpenComm 2 (KSh 23,000) even feature a dedicated noise-canceling boom mic, making them perfect for Zoom meetings and driving.
- Q: Do you deliver to regions outside Nairobi? A: Yes. We use trusted courier partners like G4S and Wells Fargo to securely deliver to Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, and other towns.
- Never run out of charge: Ensure your charging case stays topped up during long outdoor activities. Grab a reliable backup battery from our Power Banks Category.
