The first thing I would like to touch on are the materials and build quality. This actually starts back at the unboxing experience where the earbuds were presented in a nice box that had a great feeling of quality. I know that the box doesn't really matter in the end game of whether or not the earbuds are nice but it is cool to see that Anker is paying attention to all of the little details. After opening the box you quickly get to see the great build quality of the earbuds themselves. The earpieces have a nice metal jacket, the control module is made from what seems to be pretty durable plastic, and the cable connecting them all has a really nice feeling to them. Overall, I am very impressed with the earbuds and especially with how low profile they seem to be because it's hard to tell where they even hide the battery. Well done Anker. Another thing I would like to mention is the fit of the earbuds. My ears are pretty weird because they're super small but fitting these earbuds was super easy and with the wings that they have, even while running, the earbuds never fall out.
Going along with the initial setup would be the bluetooth pairing which was about as simple as can be with bluetooth products. After the initial pairing, every time I turn on the earbuds, they connect to my phone within a second or two if not instantly. The range is also great although I do admit I have not truly tested these to the limit just because most of the time my phone is in my pocket anyways but the few times where I did set it down for basketball or something, they've worked seamlessly.
Next up is sound quality and this is easily probably the easiest part of the review because they sound good... if your expectations are right. If you're the type of person who's a self proclaimed "audiophile" and you only listen to uncompressed flacs on your 2000 dollar DAC and amp, then no, you probably won't be super impressed by the audio quality, but for us mere mortals that just want to listen to Spotify on earbuds that sound better than the ones they provide you on airplanes, then yes, these sound a million times better than airplane earbuds. I'm not a very picky listener and switching between my Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones and these, I honestly couldn't care less. This is exemplified when you realize that the true intent of these earbuds are not to compete with M50x's or anything even close to that, they're meant for running and everyday life and for that, these sound just fine.
Battery life is another important part of wireless earbuds and again, I am not the most scientific tester and you can probably find a review that has exact measurements but using these on runs pretty much every day and walking in between classes in college, these last multiple days. It helps that there's a battery indicator whenever they're connected but overall, great battery life as well. Nothing to really complain about.
Now overall, this has been a SUPER positive review and that's because these have been super great earbuds to use. But, about 2 or so weeks ago, my pair suddenly just stopped working. I tried plugging them in, not even a red light to show charging... I left them in to charge and after a day, still nothing. Yikes. I can pretty much attribute this to only one reason, death by sweat. I sweat a ton and especially with the humid heat of the Texas summer, I must have just killed the earbuds but I don't know for sure. Luckily (and this is why I didn't take off a star) Anker customer support is SUPERB. They responded quickly asking me to just confirm the issue and once it was confirmed a new pair was shipped within days. Excellent customer service IMO and I think this goes to show how good Anker is as a company because their dedication to quality and backing their own products is great to see. This is not the first Anker accessory that I've purchased either. I had a SoundCore Sport XL as well and that thing was also great quality. Either way, I am going to keep on supporting Anker and buying their products because they've shown to me that they care about our experiences. If only Anker had customer service for stolen products because a couple months ago, my speaker got nicked and I'm not really in a place to buy another one.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a good pair of wireless earbuds, look no further, these are great quality and at a great price
Over a year later while seeking another set of wireless earbuds, I finally noticed that someone had replied to my review. It had been a while, but I thought I'd contact Anker to see if they had any discounted products available. A prompt reply came, offering instead to send me a replacement free of charge.
It arrived in less than a week! looking exactly the same as my old ones and just as nice a fit. That was May 23 so I've been using these daily for a month now, for calls and for music. The charge does last me the day, which resolves the main issue I had with the prior pair. Plus, the Bluetooth connection is more solid - I was cleaning and walked a room away (~25-30 ft) and the music still kept playing; of course, when I closed the door, the sound sputtered intermittently, but I was surprised that it didn't just disconnect like my old ones did. Related tangent: I prophetically dropped and broke one of a pair of Anker Soundcore Liberty Neos last year (a regift), rendering the other a glorified earpiece, so the fact that I can hang the Slim+ around my neck is great peace of mind.
One thing I do want to point out, if you use the mic function for calls and other such things - you should use the provided clip to help keep the mic in place. If I didn't do that, my callers would sometimes note that my voice sounded muffled (from the mic shifting too far behind my face). It's not a huge issue for me, but I think it's worth mentioning.
A bargain quality product and quality service. Thanks!

Original Review--Poor battery life - old Slim was better by far
I have never written a review before, but I felt it so necessary to do so for this item.
I previously owned a pair of Soundbuds Slim and really loved them a lot. They were comfortable in my ears, stayed in fairly well, and blocked out a good amount of chatter from neighboring cubicles, all while allowing me freedom of movement. Not only that, they lasted for about 7 to 7.5 hours per charge, which worked out great for my workday and made me a happy camper. Unfortunately, I accidentally lost them under some odd circumstances, and so I sought a replacement. I wanted to get the same ones since my original pair served me so well, but I saw the Soundbuds Slim+ and thought "Hey, that could be a good upgrade!"
Wrong.
THE PROS (reasons for the 3 stars): They were comfortable and just about the same as my old Slims, and it was even better constructed as the charging port cover actually fit over the port securely.
However, CONS: First off, the audio skips just enough to be noticeable if I'm connected to my phone and it's in my pocket, or when it's connected to my computer. But I can live with that. What really frustrated me was the first day I used them, they lasted 3 hours before the low charge beeps started. I thought it was because maybe I didn't charge it properly, so I tried them out for a few more days to find that it was consistently lasting only 3-4 hours per full charge. I'm not blasting my music or taking a ton of calls, so I don't see why it would lose charge that quickly. To be fair, it does charge fast (usually about an hour to full charge), but I don't want to drop everything to charge them and lose my focus. Totally defeats the purpose of having them in the first place.
Overall, I really wanted to love them and honestly, they're serviceable, but if they can't last my work day, it's useless to me and I will definitely need to look for a replacement. Pretty disappointed.

As name suggests the Slims have a light design with no additional ugly neck bands. Charged by the universal micro USB charger and has satisfactory battery life. Comes with a good pouch which protects the earphones. Connects immediately after switching on. The magnets to keep earphones affixed after use is strong as compared to competitors.
Ich bin ein sehr audiophiler Mensch, besitze mehrere Bluetoothboxen, hochwertige Kopfhörer und Aktivlautsprecher und habe auch jobbedingt viel mit Audio zu tun.
Kurzfassung:
Telefonieren: Note 1
Sound: Note 2
Preis-Leistung: Note 1
Sound der Soundbuds Slim+ (ich höre ausschließlich Rap/Goa/Techno):
Die Kopfhörer haben allgemein eine sehr gute räumliche Auflösung. Besonders positiv sind die klaren oberen Mitten, weshalb bei Rapmusik der "Gesang" sehr gut zu verstehen ist und zugleich alle Elemente im Mix klar zu hören sind. Auch bei maximaler Abhörlautstärke sind die Mitten und Höhen klar und sehr gut und die gute Auflösung über das Frequenzspektrum macht echt Spaß beim hören.
Der Bass ist einerseits druckvoll, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dies kommt eher duch eine Anhebung der unteren Mitten bzw. Mid-Subs. Mir fehlen etwas die ganz tiefen Subs, aber wir sprechen hier von einem 30 Euro Kopfhörer- da kann man vll auch keine super tiefen Frequenzen erwarten. Nochmal: Bass izz da und die Soundqualität insgesamt ist die beste von allen von mir getesteten Bluetoothkopfhörern unter 100 Euro.
Telefonieren:
Die Qualität des Mikrofons und die allgemeine Sprachverständlichkeit ist sehr gut, d.h. auch den Telefonpartner versteht man sehr gut durch die oben beschriebene Soundeigenschaften des Kopfhörers.
Sonstiges:
Die Kopfhörer sitzen optimal und fallen nicht heraus. Die Akkulaufzeit ist gut. Die Bluetooth-Verbindung war bisher immer stabil.
Fazit:
Die Kopfhörer sind ein absoluter Preisleistungskiller und ich kann sie nur empfehlen.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Kopfhörer, vor allem weil sie auch sehr gut zum Telefonieren und zum versenden von Sprachnachrichten geeignet sind. Einzige Kritikpunkte: könnte etwas mehr ganz tiefen Bass gebrauchen, aber der Bass ist insgesamt durchaus da und auch brauchbar zum hören von elektronischer Musik. Außerdem könnte das Ein- und Ausschalten besser gelöst sind- weil 3 Sekunden auf den mittleren Knopf drücken zu müssen bis die Kopfhörer ein-/ausgehen finde ich sehr lang.
Los auriculares vienen en un escuche para transportarl0s, en fin todo lo que pone en en la descripcion del mismo y lo unico que dire es que todo es de una calidad muy buena, siendo los auriculares metalicos que les da una apariencia muy buena.
Tengo los airpods pero no me ajustan del todo bien y me compre estos para ir a correr lo que intento hacer 1-2 veces por semana en recorridos por ciudad de unos 8 kms. El proceso de sincronizar con mi iphone 7 ha sido sencillo la calidad de sonido es buena, no soy un entendido, y en mi caso con los ganchos de la talla M, me ajustan perfectamente. He de reconocer que en un inicio quizas por su peso me daba la sensacion de que se me iban a caer pero la realidad ha sido que me aguantan bien durante todo el recorrido. Otro punto a favor es que el sonido es mas fuerte que con los airpods es decir si tienes que escuchar musica, podcasts en sitios muy ruidosos los airpods a veces se quedan cortos con estos no tendras ese problema. En el telefono puedes ver la bateria restante que en mi caso dura bastante. Como unica pega que fuesen un poco mas ligeros, ya que sobresalen un poco y de esta forma evitas esa sensacion de que tiran un poco hacia abajo sobre todo en el lado donde esta el control de encendido-volumen cuando estas corriendo.
