Motorola unveiled the Moto Buds 2 and Moto Buds 2 Plus at MWC 2026, targeting budget and mid-range markets with hi-res audio and long battery life. The standard Moto Buds 2 offer up to 48 hours of total playback with ANC and spatial audio for just €79 (about $92). The Moto Buds 2 Plus include Bose tuning and AI features for €149 (about $173).

The premium model features Sound by Bose tuning, CrystalTalk AI for clearer calls, and an AI live translation function. Both models support LHDC codec, Bluetooth 6, and dual-device connection. The Moto Buds 2 Plus also include Audio Share for connecting two earbuds to one phone and automatic play/pause functionality. Battery life is slightly shorter on the Plus model at 40 total hours.

These earbuds launch in Europe, Middle East, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific regions The Moto Buds 2 Plus' AI tools require downloading the Moto Buds app separately. With the standard model offering impressive specs at under $100, Motorola is positioning these as strong alternatives to flagship earbuds that cost twice as much.
