Don't take too long, professional headphones attract a daily fee of 150/= the longer they stay uncollected at customs. So head there soonest and know what taxes + fees (if any) that you could be up against.

Thank you all.

Do they still charge Import Declaration Fee? last I was there in 2010 bought a computer part online and since it was tax exempt was charged IDF of 5000. Put me off buying stuff online unless the tradeoff is worth it.

The tariff is somewhere online, just Google 'Kenya import duty tariff' or something like that.
If they are things you absolutely have to get and there is no cheaper option locally then go ahead.
Tax is alot but not that insane an amount.
