I now rate these 5 stars and here's why...
After posting my original review (see below) I was contacted by Anker customer service apologizing for their mediocre sound quality and offering to send me a pair of NB10 headphones to try as well as promising to send me an updated pair of the soundbuds slim once they became available.
Well, I tried the NB10's and they do have more bass and sound pretty good but really they are more workout specific in that you can't simply put them in as fast and not as comfortably at least...also the battery life is about half that of the soundbuds. One of the best things I like about the soundbuds slim is that they are so small and comfortable plus the battery life is about 7hours.
Anker customer service is beyond amazing! Very very good! I thought these so called "new improved" version of the soundbuds slim would be many months away but no, they showed up last week and I've been using them ever since.
Ok...I'm not sure how they did it but they most definitely did something to improve the sound because now there is SO much better sound in the midtones as well as the bass. I kept my original set and did side by side comparisons and the new ones are really great!
The value you get with these for basically under $30 is unmatched. I pretty much keep them around my neck all day. Once you turn these on they pair with my iPhone 7 almost instantly every time. So far, I have been very impressed with these little things and for the inexpensive price they are totally worth it and everyone should have a set of these. They are really great, really! Time will tell how they hold up but they seem well made and I'm completely satisfied and completely recommend!
My ORIGINAL REVIEW on the first pair is below:
After having used these new earbuds for a few days now I would tend to agree with the general consensus I'm seeing here with these earbuds in that the build quality is quite nice and the price was certainly right. I received a $6 off coupon via email which brought my price down to $23.99. At that price I cannot complain. I will keep them and use them for watching youtube videos/ Netflix and Spotify at work etc. but as for using them as my "go to" pair for running (even though they are sweat proof) I'm afraid that's a big "no go" on that. The sound quality is just not good enough. Let me say that I have many Anker products and I am a big fan of their stuff which is why I bought these in the first place but really the Bass IS lacking. I've experimented with using larger earpieces and that helped somewhat but not really good enough in my opinion. If there was some way they could increase the bass and the volume levels a fair bit I think they could be an awesome choice. Perhaps these shortcomings are a limitation of the whole small size vs bluetooth vs. battery life vs sound compromise sort of thing? Who knows? But I will hold out hope that future versions get this right, heck I'd pay $50 bucks for these if they sounded better. As for now, they are just ok, not bad but not too good either but you have to weigh the pros and cons and realize they are a $25 option... so not bad. I will also say the battery life is excellent as is the magnets holding them together around your neck when not using them...that alone is probably the best feature. I just keep them around my neck at work and can slip them on quickly when I want to listen to something.
Even though I realize I pretty much just painted a mediocre review here I would still recommend them based on price point and as long as you understand they are not going to be the greatest earbuds you ever used, so go ahead and get yourself a set.
UPDATE 2: A couple of things have become apparent after my first review. 1. The beauty of these lies in the convenience factor. 2. They are a good choice for watching YouTube or Netflix on your phone. Since these can just hang around your neck they're always at the ready which is really pretty useful. I still stand by what I said above... I wouldn't use them for running (I've tried) . They are good but not great sound quality. I'm waiting on the next version of these because I will bet they get better! The size and battery life are really great as is the build quality! For a $29 set of earbuds they are pretty darn good just as long as you don't expect hi end sound quality.
I would also like to say Anker customer service is really something else. They go over and above to make sure you are happy. That's one reason why I always try out their products. They are great and the price point is right on target. These guys really seem to care about bringing a modern and quality product to you for a fair price. Love Anker products. Thanks.

They are great and the price point is right on target. These guys really seem to care about bringing a modern and quality product to you for a fair price. Love Anker products. Thanks.
UPDATE: As I stated below, I buy Anker electronics products because I've always been extremely happy with the quality & functionality of all of my many other, previous, electronics purchases from the company. Therefore, when I required a new set of earbuds, I bought these Anker SoundBuds Slim earbuds because I expected the top quality performance from them I've learned to expect out of Anker's products- unfortunately, they actually degraded very quickly from working well, to being entirely useless within the space of a few months, so I left my negative, 2-star review below. Appx. a month after I left my bad product review, I was contacted out of the blue by Anker Client Care regarding my 2-star review & I told them what I'd described below- that the battery got so bad, so quickly, that the earbuds were worthless. Without any prompting on my part, or requests for any further information about the issue from Anker, they sent me a new pair right away- all they asked of me was to verify my shipping address for delivery & they sent a new pair without any other steps... They didn't even request that I return the 1st, problem set. I've been using the new pair for a while now & I am happy to report that along with the stellar sound quality & great in-ear fit I'd mentioned originally, the battery now works as advertised- giving me a ton of standby time & at least the 7 hours of playback time they quote in the product listing. I am now just as happy with these earbuds as I am with all my other Anker products given I was provided a working replacement set for my original, defective or malfunctioning pair (that's according to Anker when they reached out). The fact Anker contacted me unsolicited (I just wrote the bad review below & didn't make further comments or contact them about the problem) & didn't ask for any further info on, or proof of my issues, but rather just sent me a new, replacement pair no questions asked is 5-star material in itself. However, when you combine the stellar client care they'd provided with the great sound quality, perfect Bluetooth 4.1 functionality & the amazingly snug, in-ear fit I'd described below, yet now also account for battery life I'd expected originally, you definitely have a 5-star product coming from a 5-star company. While I still am a big fan/regular user of the Yoozon Earbuds referenced in my original review below, I can now confidently recommend these Anker SoundBuds Slim Headphones as a 100% solid purchase- with the high level of quality & backed by the wonderful client care you'd expect from a company like Anker.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I like Anker products, so was especially let down when I bought this set of earbuds, plus a set from another, lesser-known company at the same time (the latter pair for less money) & the lesser-known, less expensive earbuds soundly put these earbuds to shame. After only a limited time using them (a few months, max) they can only muster about 3 hours MAXIMUM of battery life- that's not playing music or movies, but simply staying paired to my phone, playing alert tones. I am totally let down by this purchase, as Anker has always meant quality electronics in my mind, but I cannot in good faith give them even a decent review... The only thing saving them from a 1-star ranking is that they sound really great & fit really well- however they must turn on/stay on for that to even matter! Here is the link to the product I found was much better when compared head to head: Bluetooth Headphones,Yoozon Wireless Magnetic Earbuds In Ear Sweatproof Earphones, Built in Mic, Waterproof ,Premium Sound with Bass, CVC 6.0 Noise Cancellation for Gym Running Workout (Black/Green)

Para deporte son cómodos, se sujetan bien en el oído y no se caen.
La calidad del audio es mejorable, pero por este precio no puedes pedir más. Sobre todo en los bajos. Pero son muy versátiles, tanto para escuchar música haciendo deporte, conversaciones manos-libres caminando, o incluso para escuchar música o podcasts en la ducha!
La batería dura bastante, aunque 2 años después ha ido reduciendo. Aún me aguanta fácilmente 3-4 horas de uso ininterrumpido.
El apareamiento por bluetooth casi nunca me ha dado ningún problema.
Los volveré a comprar, y los recomiendo al 100%!
Pros:
1) Great build quality
2) Excellent noise isolation
3) In line controls are tactile and fairly easy to access in every day situations
4) Good discreet cable management and decent aet of earbuds and tips
5) Lightweight and good fit. Doesn't feel bulky once in ear. No ear fatigue even after hours of listening
Cons
1) Charging time is around 2 hours. No fast charging, no Type C charging.
2) Has some latency when switching between devices especially when switching between Laptop and Phone (no multi point connection). Lesser lag when switching between phones
Sound quality is great, not hi resolution. The Earbuds do get pretty loud. Quality may improve slightly based on the codecs available on your phone. Overall though it will be enough for most people and music genres. Not meant for hardcore audio philes but do a pretty decent job for the price.
Sehr gut. Die Kopfhörer an sich sind recht schwer, wirken stabil und wertig. Das Kabel hat die ideale Länge. Die Mikrofoneinheit ist reines Plastik, unschön, dafür sehr leicht. Ich merke kein herunterziehen auf der rechten Seite. Dafür komplett versagt, hat der Clip zum Befestigen des Bandes an der Kleidung. Direkt beim ersten Befestigungsversuch ist die Öse zerbrochen. Diese ist dünnes Plastik und ungeeignet. Aufbewahrungstasche und Austausch-Ohr-Dinger sind vorhanden - sowohl für in das Ohr, als auch an das Ohr. Das USB Ladekabel ist viel zu kurz - sollte der Hersteller weglassen und bessere Clips beilegen.
Das Tragegefühl ist super. Es sind meine ersten Kopfhörer mit den Haken für die Ohrmuscheln. Diese scheinen den für mich perfekten Härtegrad zu besitzen. Die Muscheln der Kopfhörer habe ich gegen größere Getauscht. Die Abschirmung zu Außengeräuschen ist großes Kino. Dadurch kommt ein Makel ideal zur Geltung: Grundrauschen im rechten Hörer. Sehr dezent, aber wahrnehmbar. Das Grundrauschen verschwindet auch nicht mit einsetzen von Musik oder bei Telefonaten. Sonst ist der Klang klar und satt, gefällt mir richtig gut! Im Vergleich zu meinen 55€ Samsung Kopfhörer nehmen diese sich nicht viel.
Fazit Ersteindruck:
Gefällige Dinger, Sound ist gut. Abzüge in der B-Note durch den Clip und das Rauschen.
###Tag1:###
Tatsächlich bestätigt sich der erste Eindruck nach vier Stunden Gebrauch. Ich nutze Kopfhörer besonders Abends um Filme zu schauen oder beim Surfen im Bett Musik zu hören. Gleichzeitig habe ich das Telefon immer an der Landebuchse. Der Wegfall eines Kabels ist mir schon viel wert. Gestern Abend bekam ich noch Hunger, also bin ich mit dem Handy in die Küche, stellte es in die Ecke und konnte den Film weiter verfolgen und ich hatte die Hände frei. Da die anderen Familienmitglieder früh schlafen müssen, kann ich nicht die Lautsprecher anschalten. Sobald man nebenbei noch Geräusche hat, versteht man über Lautsprecher eh nichts mehr.
Eine Verzögerung zwischen dem Bild im Video und der Tonwiedergabe über die Kopfhörer kann ich nicht feststellen. Es bleibt Lippensynchron.
Telefonate klingen gut und man ist auch gut verständlich. Hier ist aber Luft nach oben. Zieht man das Mikro zum Mund wird es nur geringfügig besser.
Es sind meine ersten Kopfhörer mit Haken für die Ohrmuscheln. Nach den 4 Stunden habe ich die Dinger immer noch nicht als störend wahrgenommen. Dafür stehen die Kopfhörer aufgrund ihrer hohen Bauweise stark aus dem Ohr hervor. Im Bett auf der Seite liegen und damit einschlafen ist nicht drin.
###Tag3:###
Nach dem dritten Tag bin ich weiterhin begeistert. Es kommt zu keinen Verbindungsabbrüchen oder Störungen. Der Akku hält sehr lange, wie lange genau, zähle ich nicht. Mir reicht es vollkommen. Die Bewegungsfreiheit ist super. Daran muss ich mich aber erst noch gewöhnen.
Negativ fällt mir auf, dass die Kopfhörer weit herausstehen. Es sieht nicht nur gewöhnungsbedürftig aus, ein Liegen auf der Seite ist nicht möglich. Die Kopfhörer drücken sich ins Ohr. Kleinere Hörer wie bei den Beats haben dann auch ihren Preis.
Bislang ganz klare Kaufempfehlung!

Diese Kopfhörer sind mittlerweile nur noch zweite Wahl. Mit der Zeit hat es mich einfach zu sehr gestört, dass diese Dinger so weit herausstehen. Ich nutze nun hauptsächlich wieder kabelgebundene Kopfhörer. Aber wenn ich unterwegs bin und mich ein Kabel stören könnte, nutze ich weiterhin diese Kopfhörer. Der Klang ist immer noch gut, der Akku hält gefühlt ewig. Bescheuert sehe ich damit allerdings immer noch aus.
Ich melde mich wieder, sobald die Kopfhörer defekt sind oder sich irgendetwas unerwartetes ergibt.
Meine Kaufempfehlung bleibt...
Così, dopo l'acquisto di 2 PowerCore e 2 PowerLine, ecco le Soundbuds. Packaging come al solito curatissimo e come sempre Anker fornisce il pratico sacchettino/pochette per riporre i propri prodotti durante il trasporto, inoltre in confezione troviamo:
- Gommini di 4 taglie diverse, fondamentali per adattare bene le cuffie (soprattutto visto che trattandosi di in-ear il suono varia molto in base al corretto inserimento della cuffia);
- Archetti di 3 taglie diverse, per far aderire l'auricolare al padiglione in modo saldo (fondamentale per quando si fa sport);
- Cavo micro-usb per la ricarica.
Gli auricolari suonano, complice probabilmente il buon isolamento, in modo divino se rapportati al prezzo di acquisto. Bassi corposi e medi e alti sempre presenti e ben udibili, non è rato infatti che le usi spessissimo anche a casa in abbinamento al mio portatile o all'iMac.
L'abbinamento è sempre facile e velocissimo! Accendi il bluetooth, accendi le cuffie e appena clicchi sull'iconcina delle cuffie sei operativo!
Non ho potuto verificare ancora la veridicità della durata dichiarata ma, sinceramente, vista anche la velocità della ricarica, non mi sono nemmeno posto il problema. Il punto di forza è che non si ha mai paura di strapazzarle, complici probabilmente l'ottima qualità costruttiva (pur essendo leggere, si sente che sono costruite e rifinite bene) e il prezzo ottimo a cui Anker le propone.
Sono sempre stato scettico riguardo prodotti sotto un certo budget ma, credetemi, questo brand mi ha davvero fatto cambiare idea!
