Anker’s SoundBuds Slims were voted our readers’ favorite affordable Bluetooth headphones last year, and you can grab the newly updated version for just $22 today, down from the usual $26.
The SoundBuds Slim are, as you might have gleaned from the name, far smaller than the original SoundBuds. Heck, they look like a small set of wired earbuds; you might never guess there were batteries and Bluetooth radios in there.
Despite the size, these buds are still rated for 10 hours of battery life (up from the originals’ seven), keep sweat and rain out with IPX7 waterproofing, and even include a new Bluetooth 5.0 radio for a more stable connection.
