The new moto buds ultra 27 take audio up a notch with Sound by Bose technology and bring AI live translation to consumers
CHICAGO, Nov. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- Today, Motorola announced its best-sounding moto buds yet, the new moto buds ultra 27, with powerful tuning and sound that make every detail matter. Designed for the audio aficionados, these buds feature Bose SoundDesign tuning and Bose QuietControl ANC to keep immersive sound in and distractions out. Each earbud contains three high-SNR microphones with a Voice Pickup Unit (VPU), ensuring that crisp audio extends to one's voice as well. Intelligent features like AI Live Translate1 keep users present in conversations while hands-free Head Gestures2 add convenience to one's daily routine. Users can also expect up to 8 hours of playback3 on a single charge for consistent entertainment.
Sound by Bose technology for luxurious listening
With Bose SoundDesign tuning, users can absorb every word of a feature film or engross themselves in their favorite album. Bose's tuning expertise offers an advanced, distinct audio experience that produces notes that are unmistakably clear and immersive. This richness is complemented by two speakers: a larger 11mm dynamic driver and a smaller, dedicated balanced armature. They split the heavy lifting to produce high-quality, intricate sound.
For those who desire the most realistic audio, these buds include Hi-Res Audio that preserves nuanced details that can easily get lost over standard Bluetooth® streaming. When paired with compatible Motorola smartphones that support Dolby Atmos® and Dolby® Head Tracking, users can take listening to the next level with an even more immersive audio experience. When playing Dolby Atmos content, users can enjoy greater clarity, detail, and depth across their favorite entertainment. As users move their head, Dolby Head Tracking dynamically recalibrates sound to make audio feel more natural and lifelike. Together, these technologies create a more immersive listening experience.
When using these buds, users get powerful sound even in noisy environments with Bose QuietControl ANC. Whether users are trying to focus on a project or tune out noise on a flight, this technology senses its surroundings, adapts and cancels out unwanted noise. Transparency Mode also helps to blend ambient sound with their audio, so they can stay aware when crossing a busy street.
Intelligent audio features that adapt to users' lives
Users can also look forward to intuitive features that enhance their buds. So, if users are traveling abroad, they can turn to AI Live Translate1 on a compatible Motorola phone, and hear real-time translations directly through their earbuds. This makes it even easier to talk with locals in supported languages. With a simple long press on the left earbud, users can ask Motorola Qira4,5 for help, whether it's a cooking tip or quick fact, without pulling out their compatible Motorola phone. In the coming months, they will be able to simply say, "Hey Qira," to get answers completely hands-free.
In busy moments when users have their hands full, they can utilize Head Gestures2 and simply answer or decline calls with a nod or shake of their head. They can enjoy classic features like Wear Detection2 that pauses content when a user removes a bud, Dual Connection2 that allows users to stay connected to two devices at one time and Audio Share2 that connects two sets of compatible earbuds to one device.
Voice capture that's crisp, intentional and professional
On each bud, users can enjoy three high-SNR microphones with a dedicated Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) for crisp, high-quality audio. This combination is ideal for content creators using voiceovers in their videos, podcasters interviewing guests or professionals taking calls while on the go. Regardless of what they're doing, individuals can look forward to high-quality voice recording.
Up to 8 hours of playback3 and non-stop connectivity
On top of these capabilities, individuals can get up to 8 hours of continuous playback3 on a single charge and up to 37 hours in total with the compact charging case.3 That's plenty of power to accompany users on everyday adventures. These buds also feature IP57 protection,6 keeping them safe from dust, splashes and brief submersion. If users want to streamline their chords when traveling, they can turn to wireless charging.
To manage their accessories, individuals can use the moto buds app2 as a hub for go-to settings, smart features and personalization options. It's available on Google Play and the App Store, too. Users can count on Smart Connect for a continuous experience across their devices, allowing them to pick up right where they left off. The new moto buds also work with Google's Find Hub7 to help users easily locate their misplaced buds or case.

The new moto buds ultra 27 will be available in the United States in the coming months.
