The verdict

The latest true wireless earbuds from Skullcandy introduce an integrated voice assistant for full control on the go. Endless features and customization within the Skullcandy app will satisfy nearly any tinkerer. However, without active noise canceling, the Skullcandy Grind Fuel struggles to fully silence the competition.

✓What we like
✓Integrated voice assistant
✓Tons of customization within the Skullcandy app
✓Wireless charging
✓Durable and water-resistant
✓Tile tracking
✓Spotify Tap onboard control
✕What could be better
✕No active noise canceling
✕No auto play/pause
✕Below average microphone quality
✕No Bluetooth multipoint or high-quality codecs
