This product has three upgrades. 
Hard to tell (not tested them 
) but for what I use my Slims for, possible not in a UK price bracket. I’ve never (well once) kept them in the previously included travel pouch and the current Slim’s are also tagged as having IPX5 rating, so for me it would primarily be upgrading for ‘reported’ improved audio.
If they were on offer that brought them closer to the previous gen I would probably go for them if I was after a replacement set as they are the newer generation and are the direction in which this line would be heading, going forward.
The Slims are missing from my collection of Anker Bluetooth soundbuds 
Hope I’ll get the chance to get them !
Nice its time to upgrade now!
I have the Soundbud Slims and I like them a lot. I use them in the Gym, Hiking, running, yard work and on the tractor. They work great. Sound is decent (not a premium sound but better than other earbuds at this price point). Once these die (I will most likely break or loose them before that) I will get these new ones.
Definitely interested. Are these coming to Europe/Amazon.de as well? 
– ah wait, so here they’re called the ‘SoundBuds Flow’? Couldn’t find any info on Apt-x compatiblity namely…
SoundBuds Flow was the FCC name, assuming this is the same product. As far as availablility in Europe, @ankerofficial and @ankersupport would be the main ones to ask.
We will first release it to the US market, then Europe will be available ASAP!
I actually use the travel case a lot.
This is the Soundbuds Flow. 
The Slim+ should be on the European market before or by the end of this month. We are preparing for the inventory at the moment!
I received my first set of Slim+ for Christmas 2017, I have had four pairs of Slim+ since that time. The sound quality was great and the ear piece was comfortable in my ear and they stayed in place while running. The problem I have had is they would not charge after about the 4th day. Customer Service has been great to deal with, but getting the same defective product over and over is a bit trying. After the fourth pair, customer service upgraded me to N10 earbuds. Sound quality was good, but the were not as comfortable in the ear as the Slim+. On about the third day, the connection between the earbud and the cable broke. I contacted customer service again, this time I am going for my 5th set of Slim+ earbuds. I am hoping that I get “lucky” this time and get a set that works. After this, if they don’t work, I’m going for a refund, and saying good bye to Anker.
I’m sorry to hear about the poor experiences you have had with Anker’s SoundBuds Slim+, and I really hope that the next pair works with no issues! To this day, it amazes me the actions of Anker’s customer support team - just incredible!
I’ve had a great experience with my Slim+…no issues at all (hopefully there won’t be) since I tested them (Power User) back in November of last year. I love them!
Just out of curiosity, what kind of charger are you using? The chances of you getting the same defect 4 times in a row are really, really slim (sorry for the lame pun).
Not sure if you are using a wall charger, a car cigarette lighter charger, or a power bank but I’d use a different charger, and cable if I were you.
FYI, my slim and my slim+ have been getting regular use and have been going strong for a few months now. I’ve even used a forklift battery (connected to a 36v-5v buck converter of course) to charge my earbuds with zero problems.
I am using a wall charger, something I got with a HTC phone. I asked customer support about the charger, and there response was it didn’t matter. I was very concerned that I might have been doing something wrong. I would charge them and watch for the blue light and unplug them when the blue light would come one. I do hope the next pair works, but I said that five different times. The next pair will be made by SoundPeats.
