To take advantage of the potential of the Moto Buds 2 Plus, you’ll need to modify its software to match your listening preferences. Spatial audio is enabled out of the box, but extras like high-resolution audio, game mode, and equalizers are not activated by default. I adjusted this setting on the Moto Buds 2 Plus and it improved everything from sound and call quality to multi-device connections. Here’s how you can do it too.
Enable High Resolution Audio Mode
Bluetooth is often the bottleneck in audio quality for wireless headphones and earbuds. Still, there are ways to improve wireless sound quality within the limitations of Bluetooth. As such, compatibility with Moto Buds 2 Plus bluetooth 6 and the LHDC audio codec. LHDC stands for Low Latency High Definition Audio Codec and promises wireless playback at up to 1000 kbps.

To do this, open the motorcycle shoots app, tap Soundand then press the button next to High resolution mode. Tap Continue to start listening to music through your Moto Buds 2 Plus with the highest quality possible.
Activate gaming mode for low latency

Motorola Game mode It’s designed to minimize latency to improve your gameplay, prioritizing responsiveness over almost everything else. However, it does not turn on automatically; you must turn it on every time you want to use it.
To find it, open the motorcycle shoots app and tap Sound. Then switch the switch to the side of Game mode to the on position. Please remember that this low latency audio mode automatically turns off when your headphones are disconnected from your device. Also, you can’t use high-resolution audio and game mode simultaneously. It’s one or the other.
Play with the equalizer to customize your sound
There is one more configuration in the Sound Moto Buds 2 Plus settings page worth paying attention to: the equalizer. Motorola offers a customizable 10-band equalizer that allows you to adjust the sound of your headphones to your liking. If you like bass more, go for it. If you prefer subtler bass and brighter treble, turn up the treble. You can find the equalizer in the Sound page and tapping Equalizer open the interface.

Simply grab the slider for one of the 10 bands and drag it up or down to adjust the gain for a specific frequency range. This gives your Moto Buds 2 Plus a personal sound that you won’t get any other way.
