At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, Motorola has significantly expanded its audio ecosystem by launching the moto buds 2 plus and the moto buds 2. The flagship moto buds 2 plus takes center stage with “Sound by Bose” technology, offering a premium audio experience through a sophisticated dual-driver system that combines 11mm dynamic woofers with Knowles balanced armatures. This model is engineered for audiophiles, featuring Hi-Res Audio, Spatial Audio, and Dolby Head Tracking to create an immersive, 360-degree soundstage. Beyond music, the buds 2 plus are equipped with Dynamic Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and a six-microphone system enhanced by CrystalTalk AI, ensuring crystal-clear voice quality even in noisy environments. Priced at €149, the “Plus” model offers 9 hours of standalone playtime, extending to a total of 40 hours with its wireless-charging-compatible case.
The standard moto buds 2, while more affordable at €79, does not shy away from high-end performance, utilizing a unique 11mm dynamic driver paired with a 6mm micro planar magnetic driver. This model surprisingly outlasts its premium sibling in terms of endurance, boasting a remarkable 11 hours of playback per charge and a total of 48 hours with the case. Both models support Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device connection, and advanced Moto AI features like real-time translation and meeting transcription when paired with compatible Motorola smartphones. Available in various Pantone-validated colors, the new series represents a major refresh in Motorola’s “moto things” lineup, blending stylish design with cutting-edge audio engineering to compete with the industry’s top-tier wireless earbuds.
