Moto Buds, Buds+ to launch in India on May 9: All the details

Motorola is set to expand its product portfolio in India with the launch of two new TWS earbuds models. The Lenovo-owned smartphone maker took to social media platform X (earlier Twitter) to confirm that its latest audio wearable device -- the Moto Buds and the Moto Buds+ -- will be launched in India on May 9. E-commerce platform Flipkart has also added a microsite confirming the same.

Earlier this month, the company launched the Moto Buds and the Moto Buds+ TWS earbuds in other markets outside India alongside the Moto Edge 50 series smartphones. For the past few days, Motorola also teased the upcoming Bose-tuned audio wearables on X for the Indian market which is expected to be available exclusively via Flipkart.

The Moto Buds are priced at 59 euros (approximately Rs 5,000) in Europe and are currently on sale in selected markets. Meanwhile, the Moto Buds+ are priced at 149 euros (about Rs 13,000) and are currently available in select markets including Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania.
The colour options for the Indian variants mentioned in the teasers also align with the current offerings in other markets and the prices are also expected to be similar. The more expensive Moto Buds+ are likely to be available in colours like Beach Sand and Forest Grey, while the base Moto Buds may come in Coral Peach, Glacier Blue, Kiwi Green, and Starlight Blue colours in India.

The Moto Buds+ boast dual dynamic drivers (11mm woofer + 6mm tweeter) and Dolby Head Tracking which will be compatible with Motorola smartphones. These earbuds promise to offer 8 hours of playtime on a single charge, with 3 hours in 10 minutes, and up to 38 hours with the case, supporting wireless charging.
Meanwhile, the Moto Buds feature a 12.4mm dynamic driver, Hi-Res Audio certification, up to 9 hours of playtime, and fast charging.
Both models include a triple-mic system, Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Mode, Transparency Mode, and CrystalTalk AI for clear voice calls in noisy environments. These features will be accessible to users through the Moto Buds app.
