Review on 🎧 Skullcandy Grind Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones: Mic, 12-Hr Battery, Supreme Sound, Comfort, Black/Chrome by Mike Rubenstein

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Amazing budget headphones I bought 3 pack

I was lucky enough to buy them for the first time a few years ago when I was on a business trip. I was looking for something that would sound normal, fit in a backpack, function as a conference phone in a pinch, and not look ridiculous in a professional setting. The variety in store was poor so I went with these grinds for the feature set even though the name was silly and I didn't believe in the Skullcandy brand. In other words, I had very low expectations. Well, these headphones were the best $50 I've ever spent. I wear them every day for a few hours and sometimes longer. Revain is now on sale so I bought 2 more - one for my 16 year old son and another to replace when my current ones wear out (my son loves them btw). What makes her so wonderful? First, they sound great. Not just great for the price but a great time and absolutely amazing for the price. Second, they just work. Pairing is very easy, all controls are logical and well placed, microphone works well, Bluetooth range is good. The battery lasts long and charges quickly. If required, they can also be used wired. Third, they are simple and solidly built. No, they don't stack like origami puzzles, but that means there are no flimsy hinges to break. Finally, I find them very comfortable. Cons - This is not the right choice if you need noise protection or hearing protection. For my use I actually prefer this because my family can still get my attention by wearing them. They don't fold when traveling and are too loose for training. Put simply, these are the perfect headphones for household and hobby use, as well as for conferences and travel.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
