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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

My prognosis? Pains.

I was looking for decent wireless headphones for the home and garden. I started with the Mpow h5 which squeaked loudly at times so I returned them. I then thought about Skulkcandy Hesh 3 so I went to Best Buy to try them and others just for fun. I walked out of there not too impressed with the fit of anything. Also, Hesh 3 seemed to break if you looked at her the wrong way. So I went back to meet my family at Costco and I was like, hey, I wonder what Costco has. I tried the Bose Soundlink on my ears and they were so comfortable! Apparently comfort means a lot to me. "Maybe in-ear headphones are just what you need!" I think to myself. Since I can't afford to spend $160 on headphones, my goal was to find something similar to the Bose On Ears. This eventually led me to the Grind Wireless (although I've never tried them on personally). Most agree that they have a great sound. I have read all the reviews that talked about the discomfort and pain of these headphones. I also read a lot of reviews saying they are really comfortable. I was hopeful and gave them a try: Pros: They sound great. Slightly better than my previous Mpow in-ear headphones (yes, Mpow isn't for me anymore). The bluetooth connection was great. Some reviews say they've had connectivity issues even inches away from their phones. That wasn't the case with me. BT worked as expected. They seemed very strong and would not break easily. You look pretty cool. Cons: I could probably say for 60 seconds that my ears wouldn't like their comfort. Anyway, I gave them a fair chance and listened to them for about three hours now and then. Whenever I see photos of these headphones now, my ears keep hurting a little. I really hoped I wouldn't have that experience, but I just couldn't handle the discomfort. Another point that bothered me was that they always felt like they were about to fall over as they tended to slip. This may not be a problem for some, but I wash dishes, do laundry, bend over, etc., and while they never actually fall off, I used to worry about them constantly. That worried me a lot. It's weird how they can pinch my ears so much while not providing a secure fit. This was my first time wearing in-ear headphones, so it's probably pretty typical. So I packed them up to come back that evening. It was a return to research and earphones. Just ordered Soundwhiz SymphoniQ. I will try them and write a review. I hope many steel-eared people can tolerate the fit and enjoy the amazing sound and style of these phones.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
