Skullcandy Grind Wireless: if they didn't hurt they'd be great

Good sound, nice design, Bluetooth freedom with a 12-hour battery life without breaking the bank. If only they don’t pinch your ears

Skullcandy has made a habit out of producing pretty good sounding and attractive headphones that don’t cost the earth. The new Grind wireless headphones continue that trend but are ruined by one ear-crushing flaw.

Pros: good sound, 12-hour battery, decent controls, comfortable headband, optional headphones cable, feel robust

Cons: poor isolation, painful on the ears, do not fold down for travel, leak sound at high volumes
