Motorola Expands Its Audio Portfolio
Let’s talk rupees, because that’s always the kicker:
- Moto Buds Loop: ₹7,999 (yep, Bose tuning doesn’t come cheap)
- Moto Buds Bass: ₹1,999 (honestly, that’s wild for what you get)
Now, the Moto Buds Loop—these are for folks who just can’t stand the feeling of something jammed in their ear canal all day. You get this open-ear fit, so you can hear cars, people yelling at their dogs, whatever. Super practical if you’re out running or biking. Plus, Bose worked their magic on the sound, so you’re not trading quality for comfort.
Quick specs on the Loop:
- 12mm drivers (big enough for a punchy sound)
- Bose tuning (fancy way of saying the audio’s actually good)
- Spatial sound for that “almost-like-a-theater” feel
- Dual mics + voice sensors + AI noise reduction (calls sound clear even in chaos)
- Battery: 8 hours on a single charge, 39 with the case (that’s a lot of podcast binging)
- 10-minute charge = 3 hours playtime (savior when you forget to charge)
- Bluetooth 5.4, connects to two devices (watch and phone? Yes, please)
- Dust and splash resistance (IP54—don’t swim with them, but rain’s fine)
Why even bother with open-ear?
Look, not everyone wants to be totally zoned out. Sometimes you gotta hear what’s going on around you, especially if you live in a city where people drive like they’re in Mario Kart. And with Bose’s tuning, you’re not missing out on decent sound either.Alright, Moto Buds Bass—this one’s for bassheads and budget-lovers. I’m talking 50dB noise cancellation at under ₹2k. That’s the sort of feature other brands save for their “pro” models. If you like your music to slap, these are it.
Specs for the Bass:
- 12.4mm composite drivers (that 0.4mm matters, apparently)
- Hi-Res LDAC support (for those who care about streaming quality)
- 50dB ANC, with different modes (adaptive, transparency, and off—so you can pretend to listen to people)
- Triple mics with AI and wind noise reduction (calls in a storm? Should be okay)
- 7 hours on a single charge, 48 with the case (charge it and forget it exists for a week)
- 10-minute charge = 2 hours playtime (not as fast as the Loop, but still solid)
- Bluetooth 5.3, Google Fast Pair, and a low-latency mode (gamers, I see you)
- IP54 dust/water resistance

How Motorola’s Trying to Shake Up the TWS Scene in India
Alright, so the TWS (true wireless stereo, for the uninitiated) market in India? It’s basically a mosh pit—OnePlus, Realme, boAt, Noise, JBL, you name it. Everyone’s fighting for a slice. Then Motorola strolls in, trying to flex with two new launches that actually feel a little different for once:- Moto Buds Loop: They’re pushing this whole “Bose-tuned” open-ear vibe. Not many brands are even trying to go premium AND open-ear. It’s a niche, but hey, sometimes the weirdos win.
- Moto Buds Bass: Stuffed with features like ANC (active noise cancellation) but priced for folks who don’t want to sell a kidney. Goes head-to-head with Noise and boAt, those budget big shots.
Quickfire Q&A: Moto Buds Loop vs. Bass
Wireless charging—do they have it?
Nope. Both stick to the classic Type-C fast charging. No fancy wireless magic here.Will they play nice with my iPhone?
Yup. Both rock Bluetooth 5.3/5.4, so whether you’re Team Android or Apple, you’re sorted.Which one won’t let me down during a gaming sesh?
Moto Buds Bass, hands down. It’s got that low-latency thing going on. Less lag, more frag.Multipoint connection?
Can I juggle devices? Only the Moto Buds Loop lets you hook up to two gadgets at once. The Bass isn’t that multitask-y.Call quality—who wins?
Both are packing AI noise reduction, but the Moto Buds Bass go the extra mile with three mics in each bud. So yeah, Bass might just edge out here.Waterproofing—can I jump in a pool with these?
Don’t even try it. Both have IP54, which is fancy talk for “resists dust and the occasional splash.” Full-on waterproof? Not happening.So, Which One Should You Actually Buy?
Motorola’s basically serving up two totally different flavors:- Moto Buds Loop: All about that premium life. Bose-tuned, open-ear, spatial audio. Feels fancy, costs ₹7,999. Good for folks who want comfort and wanna stay alert to the world around ’em (looking at you, runners).
- Moto Buds Bass: Budget beast. 50dB ANC, Hi-Res LDAC, 48-hour battery—₹1,999. It’s a wild value. If you want max features for minimum cash, this is your jam.
Bottom line
Motorola’s not just dipping its toes—they’re cannonballing into both the high-end and budget TWS pools. Whether you’re a fitness freak who wants comfort without blocking out the world, or you just want to blast tunes and block out your noisy neighbors, they’ve actually covered both bases this time.Grab what fits your vibe. Motorola’s finally making some noise worth listening to.
