Skullcandy Grind Fuel Review

Powerful bass ; In-app EQ with customizable presets ; Good battery life

Sound signature and limited Bluetooth codec support not ideal for purists ; Voice features aren't compelling

Skullcandy's true wireless Grind Fuel earphones offer adjustable EQ and long battery life, but they don't sound impressive and their app-based voice controls aren't that useful.

Skullcandy Grind

The Skullcandy Grind is an on-ear headphone pair with impressive audio performance to upstage its youthful design.

Powerful audio with strong bass and crisp highs. Very comfortable fit with eye-catching design. On-ear remote. Removable cable. Affordable.

Booming bass not for purists.

If you like the idea of the Grind's bass-forward, affordable on-ear experience, but you'd rather have a less flashy headphone pair, Shure makes two solid options in this price range: the Shure SRH145m+ and the Shure SRH144. If you have more room in...

Skullcandy Grind headphone (review): Finally, a Skullcandy headphone we like

The Grind is a well-designed on-ear model that sounds surprisingly good for $60 and has a couple of nifty features.

The Skullcandy Grind sounds surprisingly good for its modest price, is lightweight and comfortable to wear, and has a remote/microphone built into the left earcup. Headband is made of metal instead of plastic.

Doesn't fold up or come with a carrying case; no in-line volume controls.

The Grind is a good choice for anyone looking for a quality on-ear headphone who doesn't want to spend a lot.

Skullcandy Grind Fuel True Wireless Review

The Skullcandy Grind Fuel True Wireless are earbuds with many customization features. They have a slightly warm default sound profile that can be customized in t...

Three pairs of ear tip sizes included. Good build quality. Adequate mic recording quality. 9.7-hour continuous battery life. In-app graphic EQ and presets. IP55 rating for dust and water resistance.

Mediocre noise isolation. Closed-off passive soundstage. Ηigh latency. App required for voice control feature. Mic has sub-par noise handling. No multi-device pairing.

The Skullcandy Grind Fuel are decent for neutral sound. They have a somewhat warm sound profile that delivers extra boom, but the mid and treble ranges are very neutral, so instruments and lead vocals are still present, detailed, and bright. Their...

Skullcandy Grind Fuel review

The feature-laden Skullcandy Grind Fuel lays the foundation for future brand releases, but it also loses focus on the basics.

Wide, customizable sound ; Companion app with awesome features ; Impressive voice controls ; Long battery life ; Wireless charging

Weak connectivity ; Google Assistant is buggy ; Uncomfortable ; Lacks motion detection and touch controls

that offer more at a similar price point, while also getting the basics down pat.

Skullcandy The Grind Headphone Review

Skullcandy has been very busy pumping out audio headgear lately – we just recently reviewed their Crusher over-ear headphones and now they have also released the Grind, a budget friendly pair of headphones with a fun twist.

Fun pair of headphones that won’t break the bank. Impressive low end and mids. TapTech technology is a nice add-on

White version of The Grind shows signs of dirt easily. You may get some feedback if you listen to music with extreme highs. Affordable

Skullcandy Grind

The Skullcandy Grind are one-ear headphones whose price of just £40 puts them firmly in the cheap headphones category. But don't let that – or Skullycandy's typically colourful design – put you off. While the Grind will still turn heads for their...

Great, balanced sound quality ; Light and extremely comfortable to wear ; Removable 3.5mm cable included

Slightly fiddly music playback controls ; A lot of sound leakage

The Skullcandy Grind on-ear headphones are cheap, but they look the part and sound fantastic as well.
