    Motorola turns up the volume with Bose-tuned Loop and bass-heavy buds

    MUMBAI: When it comes to sound, Motorola just dropped the bass, literally. The smartphone giant, now calling itself India’s leading AI phone brand, has launched two true wireless earbuds designed to take on every mood, beat and playlist: the moto buds Loop powered by Bose Audio, and the moto buds Bass with segment-best 50db active noise cancellation.

    Priced at Rs 7,999 (with a bank offer cutting Lop to Rs 6,999) and Rs 1,999 for Bass, the earbuds go on sale 1st September and 8 September respectively, across Flipkart, Motorola.in, and retail stores. Both arrive armed with features aimed squarely at India’s growing tribe of music junkies, gamers, and on-the-go professionals.

    The moto buds Loop stand out with an open-ear design tuned by Bose, 12mm ironless drivers, and spatial sound for 3D-like immersion. They deliver 8 hours on a single charge and 39 hours with the case, plus a quick 10-minute top-up for 3 hours of playback. Add IP54 water resistance, a memory alloy frame, and trekking green finish, and Loop is more style statement than accessory.

    For bass-heads, the moto buds Bass promise Super Bass tuning, Hi-Res LDAC audio, and 12.4mm composite dynamic drivers. With 50db ANC across a 4kHz range, users can toggle between Adaptive, Transparency, or Noise Cancelling modes at will. Battery life stretches to 7 hours (ANC off) plus 41 hours with the case, totalling a marathon 48 hours. Quick cadds 2 hours of playback in 10 minutes. At just 51g, with triple-mics on each bud and finishes like dark shadow, blue jewel, and posy green, these are built for marathon listening sessions without compromise.

    Connectivity gets a boost too both models feature Bluetooth 5.3, Google fast Pair, and Crystaltalk AI to cut through background chaos on calls. With smart connect and moto ai integration, users can switch devices or trigger commands (“Catch me up”) hands-free, making them lifestyle companions as much as audio gear.

    Motorola India MD T.M. Narasimhan summed it up: “With Loop and Bass, we’re blending technology, design and usability to create audio experiences that resonate with evolving lifestyles.” Translation? Whether you crave Bose-tuned clarity or chest-thumping bass, Motorola now has a bud for every beat.

Hence, we collaborated with MTV because of its popularity among the youth and its digital following. The combination of our technical bandwidth along with the channel’s creative edge in the market will help us achieve our goal.”

     

    On the collaboration, Infiniti Retail CEO & managing director Ajit Joshi said: “We sell products like JVL and Bose but today, youngsters want music on the go. It is a religion for them. And when we got an opportunity to address the needs of the youth of the country, we were glad to be part of it.”

     

    MTV will market the new product range through its digital space. “Where do youngsters hangout? It’s cafes, colleges and are always on the digital platform. Apart from us, Croma too will be supporting us on its digital space,” informed Bhowmik, adding that the channel is in the planning stage of launching a marketing plan on its sister channels. “We have all the edge at our disposal and we will be utilizing our sister channels in the future,” he said.
