When Motorola showed off the Moto Buds 2 Plus at MWC 2026 in March, US pricing was nowhere in sight. That gap has now ended. The Moto Buds 2 Plus are officially coming to North America, available starting April 30 on Motorola.com for $149.99.
The main feature is Sound by Bose technology, the same tuning partnership that made the original Moto Buds+ a standout in the sub-$200 arena. Inside, an 11mm driver handles the bass while a Knowles balanced armature adds detail to the high end. You also get Hi-Res Audio with LHDC support, Spatial Audio, and Dynamic ANC for blocking out the commute or coffee shop. Six microphones with environmental noise cancellation keep your calls clear, and an optional CrystalTalk AI mode in the Moto Buds app takes it a step further in noisy environments.
Battery life is 9 hours per charge and up to 40 hours total with the case. Dual connection lets you stay connected to two devices at once and switch between them without reconnecting. Audio Share lets two pairs connect simultaneously from the same phone. Wear detection automatically pauses playback when you take a bud out.
More than just earbuds if you’re using a Motorola phone
The Moto Buds 2 Plus plug into Motorola’s AI features on compatible devices. Holding and pressing the earbuds activates Moto AI, letting you use Catch Me Up for a notification summary, Pay Attention to transcribe the meeting, and Remember It to store details for later. AI-powered translation is also supported on select devices through Google Translate.
The MWC announcement included a starting price of €149 for European markets. At $149.99 for the US, Motorola places these near the bottom where a lot of Bose-adjacent earbuds sit. Initially, the Moto Buds 2 Plus will launch in Pantone silhouette only on Motorola.com.
