Supported models include the Moto Buds 2, Moto Buds 2 Fusion, and Moto Buds 2 Plus. To ensure compatibility, users must first update the earbuds' firmware using an Android device. Specifically, Moto Buds 2 Plus require firmware version v17200 or higher, while Moto Buds 2 require version v10.74 or later. The application requires iOS 18.0 or iPadOS 18.0 or later. Recent details highlight that the hardware utilizes acoustic calibration technology branded as ‘Sound by Bose’. The Moto Buds 2 Plus, which is priced at approximately $149, features a classic stem design, Pantone-certified colors, and integrated AI functions.
