Alongside the three new 2026 Razrs, the Moto G87, G47, G37, and G37 Power, Motorola has also introduced the Moto Buds 2 Plus TWS earbuds. These will go on sale later today at Motorola.com for $149.99.
They are obviously the successors to the original Moto Buds+, launched back in 2024, and they’re $50 cheaper than those. Like their predecessors, the Moto Buds 2 Plus feature sound by Bose, which still strikes us as odd – Bose makes its own TWS earbuds, after all, and these are competing in the same space (though not at the same price, granted).
Anyway, the new Moto earbuds sport 11mm drivers for “full-bodied bass” as well as Knowles balanced armatures for “clarity and precision”. The Moto Buds 2 Plus support Hi-Res Audio with the LHDC codec, and Spatial Audio. They also have Dynamic ANC with six mics. In the Moto Buds companion app you can enable CrystalTalk AI, which “uses advanced AI noise reduction to clarify one’s voice in loud environments”.
The Moto Buds 2 Plus deliver up to 9 hours of playtime on a charge, and 40 hours of total battery life including the case. They support dual connection, as well as Audio Share, which lets you connect two pairs of Moto Buds 2 Plus to the same phone, letting two people enjoy the same content. The earbuds also have wear detection, automatically pausing content when you take one out.
