Moto buds 2 ultra launched Globally with Sound by Bose dual drivers, Bose QuietControl ANC

Motorola has expanded its premium audio lineup with the launch of the Moto Buds 2 Ultra, also known as the Moto Buds Ultra 27 in select markets. Designed for users seeking a high-quality wireless audio experience, the new earbuds combine Bose-engineered acoustics, advanced active noise cancellation (ANC), and AI-powered features aimed at improving productivity and everyday convenience.

Acoustic Engineering and Noise Cancellation

The Moto Buds 2 Ultra feature Bose SoundDesign tuning and a dual-driver acoustic system designed to deliver detailed audio reproduction across different frequency ranges. The setup includes an 11mm dynamic driver dedicated to low frequencies and a balanced armature driver responsible for midrange and high-frequency sounds. The earbuds also carry Hi-Res Audio certification, enabling higher-quality audio playback through supported codecs.

When paired with compatible Motorola smartphones, the earbuds unlock additional spatial audio capabilities, including Dolby Atmos and Dolby Head Tracking. These technologies dynamically adjust audio positioning based on the listener's head movements to create a more immersive listening experience.

For noise reduction, Motorola has incorporated Bose QuietControl Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which automatically adjusts noise attenuation according to surrounding sound conditions. A dedicated Transparency Mode is also available, allowing ambient sounds to pass through when users need to remain aware of their surroundings.

Voice Pickup and Intelligent Controls

For calls and voice-related tasks, each earbud is equipped with three high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) microphones and a dedicated Voice Pickup Unit (VPU). This combination is designed to isolate the user's voice and improve clarity during phone calls, voice recordings, and online meetings.

The Moto Buds 2 Ultra also introduce several smart controls and AI-powered capabilities:

• AI Live Translate: Enables real-time translation of incoming speech directly through the earbuds when connected to compatible Motorola smartphones.
• Virtual Assistant Integration: A long press on the left earbud activates the motorola Qira assistant. A future software update will also introduce hands-free activation through the "Hey Qira" wake word.
• Head Gestures: Allows users to answer or reject incoming calls by nodding or shaking their heads.
• Wear Detection: Automatically pauses audio playback when an earbud is removed and resumes when it is worn again.
• Dual Connection: Supports simultaneous connections to two Bluetooth devices, making it easier to switch between audio sources.
• Audio Share: Allows two sets of compatible earbuds to receive audio from a single host device.

Battery Life, Build, and Ecosystem Compatibility

The moto buds 2 ultra offer up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge, with the included charging case extending total battery life to up to 37 hours.

Other hardware specifications include Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, USB Type-C charging, and Qi2 wireless charging compatibility. Both the earbuds and their charging case carry an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance.

Users can manage device settings and install firmware updates through the moto buds application, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The earbuds also support Google's Find Hub network, helping users locate misplaced earbuds and charging hardware.
