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.

Skullcandy Grind review

Funky design, but not so funky sounding

Built-in mic ; Rigid build ; Comfortable ; Clear

Hard, brash sound ; Zero dynamics ; Lacks space and refinement

Great to look at, but not to listen to

Skullcandy Grind review

These headphones pack a ton for a tiny price

Subdued, sporty design ; Stellar sound ; TapTech button and mic ; Unbeatable price

Divisive style ; No volume controls

Skullcandy's Grind headphones look the part, are packed with features and surprise with sound quality expected of on-ear cans that are twice as pricey. These are the perfect choice for budget listeners.

Skullcandy Grind True Wireless review: Almost great

The Skullcandy Grind earbuds promise to be the perfect partner for your daily grind. But how do these budget buds fare in such a crowded market?

Great app with loads of configurable options ; Tile and Spotify integrations ; Excellent battery life ; Robust build quality

Sound quality is underwhelming ; Not the most comfortable ; No active noise-cancelling (ANC)

These earbuds are affordable and packed with tonnes of quality-of-life features. When it comes to convenience and software integration, they're among the best around. However, the lacklustre sound quality makes it hard to recommend.

Skullcandy Grind review

These on-ear headphones deliver great sound and also double-up as a hands-free headset and music control for your phone. Here's our Skullcandy Grind review.

The Skullcandy Grind provide a fantastic value-for-money sound, which coupled with its removable cable design, one-button remote, comfortable pads and their funky looking design make them a good value buy at £28.

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 review

(Rating Hidden)

The Grind is the newest addition to Skullcandy's headphone range, positioned just below the company's Hesh 2 in cost. It's a wired set, and Skullcandy's entry headphone model. How does it get on?
