Moto Buds 2 Plus Leaked Images Show Vertical Design and Bose Tuning

Motorola's next true wireless earphones, the Moto Buds 2 Plus, are emerging in early visuals after the brand's Moto Buds+ debut in April 2024. Leaks attributed to leakster Evan Blass show the new model with a vertical form factor, a clear departure from the Buds+ horizontal arrangement. The images, circulated widely in tech circles, indicate two colors and a charging case that visually complements the buds. The front of the case bears Motorola's batwing logo, and the words Sound By Bose appear below, signaling a collaboration with Bose for audio tuning.

While Motorola has not announced an official launch date for the Moto Buds 2 Plus, the leaked visuals offer a concrete look at the hardware direction. The case design, with a vertical orientation, contrasts with the earlier design where the case and buds shared a more horizontal silhouette. The exterior of both buds and case appears to match in color, while the interior uses a contrasting shade. The two-color presentation is consistent with the early renders or photos shared by Blass.

Design and color options

The images show a vertical charging case, a change from the horizontal case used by the older Moto Buds+. The buds and the outer part of the case share the same color, while the interior contrasts to highlight the opening area. Motorola’s batwing logo sits on the front of the case, with the text Sound By Bose below it, confirming Bose is involved in tuning the audio for the new model. The visuals also depict two color variants, aligning with the overall color theme of the device.

• Vertical charging case design
• Exterior of buds and case share the same color; interior uses a contrasting shade
• Front of the case features Motorola’s batwing logo and Sound By Bose
• Two color variants shown in leaked images
• Bose collaboration for audio tuning

These details come from images circulated by Blass and have not been officially confirmed by Motorola.

Audio features and launch timeline

The Moto Buds 2 Plus should support active noise cancellation ('ANC'), although this has not been confirmed officially by Motorola yet. Although there are currently no official announcements indicating how many of the 2 specific features may be powered by Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos and thus be able to improve the sound quality for music and video streaming, there have been reports that do support that these 2 specific features are likely to be included on the Moto Buds 2 Plus. Reports have also indicated that the Moto Buds 2 Plus was intended to be released as a direct successor to the Moto Buds+ that were released in late Q3 2024, although there have not yet been any specific details on the price, battery life, or availability of the 2 Buds will be released until just prior to the official release of the device.

• Active noise cancellation (ANC) expected
• Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos support anticipated
• Motorola Buds 2 Plus likely successor to Moto Buds+

Motorola has not announced an official launch date. The leak provides an early look at the design direction and potential features, with further details expected as the company moves toward a formal reveal.
