Moto Buds 2 launched in India with LDAC, 55dB ANC under Rs 3,000
Motorola has refreshed its TWS lineup in India with the debut of the Moto Buds 2 in the country. Launched in India on Tuesday, they come in under Rs 3,000 with dual dynamic drivers, 55dB ANC, Bluetooth 6.0, and up to 48 hours of total battery life, which are features you’d usually expect to pay more for.
Price and availability
The Moto Buds 2 are priced at Rs 2,999, though this is a net effective launch price, so the regular retail tag could inch up once the introductory offer wraps up. They go on sale May 25th on Flipkart, Motorola’s website, and select offline stores. Colour options include Pantone Violet Ice, Pantone Carbon, and Pantone Grey Mist, continuing Motorola’s association with Pantone.

Features
Inside, there’s an 11mm + 6mm dual dynamic driver setup with Hi-Res Audio and LDAC support. LDAC is a high-quality audio codec that usually shows up in earbuds priced higher, so its inclusion here is worth noting. Spatial Audio is also supported if you want a more immersive experience while watching content.
Noise cancellation is rated at up to 55dB, which holds up well against similarly priced competitors like the Nothing Ear (a) and Realme Buds Air 6. Six microphones, Environmental Noise Cancellation, and Motorola’s CrystalTalk AI are there to keep your calls clear even in noisy environments.
Battery life is a genuine strong suit with 11 hours on a single charge from the earbuds, and 48 hours total with the case. Ten minutes of charging gives you three hours of playback, which is useful when you’re in a rush. The earbuds are IP54-rated for water resistance, and the case has an IPX2 rating, so light splashes are fine, though the case is a little more vulnerable than the earbuds themselves.
Other features include Bluetooth 6.0, Dual Connection, Wear Detection, a Gaming Mode, and Moto AI integration, which will mostly be useful if you’re already in the Motorola ecosystem.
If you’re shopping under Rs 3,000 for your first proper ANC earbuds, or simply want a reliable everyday pair without spending too much, the Moto Buds 2 make a strong case. The LDAC support and 55dB ANC at this price aren’t things you see every day in this range. If your budget stretches a bit, the Nothing earbuds or those from OnePlus offer a bit more in terms of software experience and brand ecosystem.
