The Moto Buds Ultra 27 are Motorola's new flagship earbuds, with Bose-branded active noise cancellation (ANC) and up to 45 hours of total battery life with the case. Motorola launched them on November 5 alongside the Moto Watch Fit 27, a fitness watch rated for up to 12 days on a charge.
Both accessories arrive with the Motorola Signature 27, which costs $1,599 in the US. Motorola says the buds and watch will reach the US in the coming months, but it has not shared American prices or dates yet.
What Do the Moto Buds Ultra 27 Offer?
Each bud pairs an 11mm dynamic driver with a balanced armature, a second tiny speaker that sharpens high notes. Bose handles the sound tuning and the QuietControl noise cancellation, and the buds support LHDC 5, a high-resolution Bluetooth codec, Android Headlines reports.
Battery life is about 8 hours per charge, with the case adding 37 more. Six microphones target calls and content creation, and the list of extras includes AI live translation, a feature Apple is also adding to AirPods, head gestures for answering calls, dual device connection, Google Find Hub support and IP57 water resistance. They come in Pantone Reflecting Pond and Pantone Temple Gray.
How Long Does the Moto Watch Fit 27 Last?
Motorola calls it the longest-lasting Moto watch so far. Its 400mAh battery is rated for 12 days with the always-on display off, 7 days with it on and 16 days in low power mode, while a 10-minute charge gives about a day of use.
The watch uses a 1.85-inch OLED screen with 1,500 nits of peak brightness, an aluminum body that weighs 28.1 grams, dual-frequency GPS and Bluetooth calling. Fitness analysis comes from Polar, including its Running Index and Nightly Recharge sleep scores, with more than 100 workout types tracked automatically, 9to5Google notes.
How Much Do They Cost?
US pricing is still missing. In the UK, the watch is listed at £99.99 and the buds at £179.99, according to Gizmochina, while Notebookcheck lists the watch at €119 in Europe, due in the coming weeks.
In our view, the watch is the more interesting product. A 12-day battery with Polar's training tools at around $100 to $130 would undercut rivals like the Galaxy Watch8 series, which need charging every day or two. The buds face a tougher fight against AirPods Pro and Galaxy Buds, and Motorola's US price will decide whether the Bose badge is enough.
