Alongside the unveiling of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6-powered Signature 27 smartphone, Motorola has officially introduced its flagship true wireless audio companion: the Moto Buds Ultra 27.

Designed as Motorola’s most premium audio offering to date, the earbuds expand the brand’s engineering partnership with luxury audio firm Bose.

The Moto Buds Ultra 27 feature an upgraded acoustic layout pairing a large 11mm dynamic driver with a dedicated Knowles balanced armature.

Calibrated with Bose SoundDesign tuning and Bose QuietControl Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), the earbuds also introduce Dolby Atmos with Dolby Head Tracking, a six-microphone array with Voice Pickup Units (VPUs) on both earpieces, and hands-free Head Gestures.

The earphones integrate with Motorola’s software ecosystem, supporting in-ear AI Live Translate, direct access to the Motorola Qira AI assistant, Qi2 wireless charging, and full IP57 dust and water resistance across both the earbuds and the charging case.

Acoustic Engineering: Bose SoundDesign & Knowles Balanced Armature

To deliver audiophile-grade separation across frequencies, Motorola adopted a hybrid two-way driver arrangement:

• Dual-Driver Layout: The acoustic chamber pairs an 11mm dynamic woofer-engineered for sub-bass extension and low-end impact-with a smaller, ultra-responsive Knowles balanced armature driver dedicated exclusively to crisp mids and detailed high frequencies.
• Bose SoundDesign Tuning: Bose audio engineers co-tuned the frequency response curve, prioritizing tonal balance, instrument separation, and vocal warmth across cinematic dialogue and complex musical arrangements.
• Hi-Res Audio with LHDC 5.0: Certified for Hi-Res Audio Wireless, the earbuds support the low-latency, high-bandwidth LHDC 5.0 codec, allowing compatible devices to stream 24-bit/192kHz audio master tracks without compression artifacts.
• Dolby Atmos & Dolby Head Tracking: When connected to compatible Motorola smartphones, the buds utilize built-in spatial sensors to dynamically recalibrate directional audio channels as you move your head, maintaining a natural 360-degree soundstage.

Bose QuietControl ANC, 6 Mics & Dual Voice Pickup Units

• Bose QuietControl Active Noise Cancellation: Leverages Bose’s adaptive noise attenuation algorithms, analyzing background noise in real time to filter out low-frequency engine rumbles, office HVAC hum, and ambient street noise.
• Triple-Mic Array per Earbud (6 Mics Total): Three high-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) beamforming microphones in each earpiece isolate the speaker’s vocal frequencies while suppressing background interference.
• Integrated Voice Pickup Units (VPU): Each earbud houses a dedicated hardware Voice Pickup Unit that detects physical jawbone vibrations, allowing wind-resistant voice capture during phone calls and mobile voiceover recording.

Intelligent Features: Head Gestures, AI Live Translate & Motorola Qira

The Moto Buds Ultra 27 incorporate several convenience and AI-driven workflow tools:

• Hands-Free Head Gestures: Built-in motion sensors allow users to control incoming phone calls without touching the earbuds or reaching for their phone. Users can nod their head up and down to answer a call, or shake their head side-to-side to decline it.
• AI Live Translate: When paired with supported Motorola smartphones running the native Translate application, the earbuds deliver real-time, two-way language translation directly through the earpieces, enabling seamless cross-lingual conversations.
• Motorola Qira AI Access: A simple long-press on the left earbud stem summons Motorola’s on-device AI assistant, Qira. Motorola confirmed that a hands-free "Hey Qira" wake-word voice trigger will arrive in a subsequent firmware update.
• Dual Connection & Audio Share: Supports seamless Bluetooth multipoint switching between two connected devices (such as a laptop and smartphone), alongside Audio Share, which allows two pairs of Moto Buds to stream simultaneously from a single host device.

Battery Longevity, Qi2 Wireless Charging & IP57 Protection

• Playback Stamina: Rated for up to 8 hours of continuous audio playback on a single charge with ANC disabled, expanding to up to 37 hours total using the pocketable charging case. With Bose QuietControl ANC enabled at 50% volume, standalone earbud playback delivers approximately 5.7 hours.
• Fast Charging: A brief 10-minute wired charge provides up to 3 hours of playback time.
• Qi2 Wireless Charging: The charging case supports magnetic Qi2 wireless power transfer, making it compatible with modern wireless charging pads and reverse-wireless-charging smartphones.
• IP57 Ingress Protection: Both the earbuds and the charging case carry an IP57 rating, offering protection against dust ingress and freshwater immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
• Google Find Hub Integration: Embedded support for the Google Find Hub network allows users to pinpoint misplaced earbuds or ring them remotely via Android devices.

Colorways, Ecosystem Synergy & Commercial Outlook

• Curated Pantone Finishes: Developed in collaboration with the Pantone Color Institute, the Moto Buds Ultra 27 arrive in two shades:
  • Pantone Reflecting Pond: A deep, nautical slate-blue with a soft-touch matte case and polished stem accents.
  • Pantone Temple Gray: A neutral architectural stone finish with subtle metallic accents.
• Ecosystem Synergy: While basic audio streaming, ANC modes, and touch controls work universally across iOS and Android via the Moto Buds companion app, flagship features like Dolby Head Tracking, AI Live Translate, and Motorola Qira integration are tailored specifically for Motorola devices like the Signature 27.
• Commercial Availability: The Moto Buds Ultra 27 will roll out across North America and select international markets over the coming weeks, with Indian pricing and retail launch schedules to be announced alongside regional flagship device debuts.
