BOYA BY-M1 Lavalier Microphone Price in Kenya | Buy in Nairobi at trewrld
At KES 3,000, the BOYA BY-M1 is the easiest way for Nairobi content creators, church media teams and students to get clear, hands-free audio instead of the muffled sound of a phone's built-in mic. It clips onto a shirt collar in seconds and plugs straight into a smartphone, DSLR, camcorder or PC.
- Omnidirectional condenser capsule with a 65Hz–18kHz frequency response and 74dB signal-to-noise ratio, picking up sauti (voice) clearly from any angle without needing to aim it.
- Generous 6-metre cable gives real freedom to move during a sermon, a campus presentation, or a product demo filmed for WhatsApp Business or Instagram.
- Works across devices — standard 3.5mm 4-pole plug for smartphones plus an included 1/4" adapter for cameras, camcorders and PCs, so it's not locked to one setup.
- Runs on a single replaceable LR44 button battery, easy to find at any Nairobi electronics shop when it eventually runs low.
- Budget-friendly at KES 3,000 — bei nafuu (affordable price) for anyone starting out in vlogging, podcasting or live streaming without a big kit budget.

Church media teams across Nairobi rely on affordable lavalier mics like this one for weekly sermon livestreams on YouTube and Facebook, and campus students use them to record presentations without background noise drowning out their voice. The 6-metre cable also suits small business owners filming product videos for Instagram or TikTok without needing a wireless setup.
Who It's Ideal For
- Church media teams and small event organisers livestreaming sermons or talks.
- Students recording presentations or interviews for coursework.
- New vloggers and podcasters who need reliable audio on a starter budget.
- Small business owners filming product demos for WhatsApp Business or social media.
Who Should Consider Something Else
- Anyone needing a wireless lavalier with no cable at all — this is a wired mic.
- Videographers who want a camera-mounted shotgun mic instead of a clip-on lavalier — see the alternative below.
Pros
- Very affordable at KES 3,000 without sounding cheap.
- Long 6-metre cable for genuine freedom of movement.
- Works across phones, cameras and PCs with the included adapter.
- 2-year BOYA warranty backs a budget purchase.
Cons
- Wired design means less freedom than a wireless system.
- Single LR44 battery needs occasional replacement.
- Omnidirectional pickup can capture more room noise in loud environments than a directional mic.
For videographers who'd rather mount a mic on the camera than clip one to a shirt, the Rode VideoMic GO (KES 7,000) is the directional, camera-mount alternative. The BY-M1 remains the better pick for interviews, sermons and presentations where the mic needs to stay on the speaker, not the camera.
Verdict: The BOYA BY-M1 is the sensible first lavalier mic for anyone in Nairobi who's tired of muffled phone audio and doesn't want to spend more than KES 3,000 finding that out. It won't replace a professional wireless kit, but for churches, students and new creators it's a dependable, well-priced starting point.
