Skullcandy Grind Headphone with Mic (Black and Gray)

KodaO

100+ Head-Fier
Pros: Awesome, surprisingly controlled bass. Clean mids. Fun SS, comfortable, built well!
Cons: Rolloff on the highs, the skull…
Huge thing to take into account here, I've noticed huge changes in SQ when running these through a higher quality source/DAC, which happens with a lot of phones, but still.
 
The Skullcandy Grind are a newer approach for SKDY than past headphones I've owned from the brand (Them being the Hesh, Hesh 2.0, MMM's). At their price point, you'd be hard pressed to find a better sounding pair of on-ears. 
 
I'm not gonna sit and write a 3,000 word review tonight, but I will go into some detail on SQ.
 
The bass is well extended, slightly forward but controlled. The mids are laid back, but textured; male vocals shine. Highs are rolled definitely a bit rolled off, but it doesn't keep the headphones form being fun.
 
Build quality is pretty decent, the headband is all metal. They are extremely comfortable, I've had them on my head for 4-6 hours at a time, and no discomfort a small adjustment couldn't fix occurred. 
 
These are NOT audiophile cans, but they are definitely a great portable pair for anyone needing a cheap pair of awesome sounding headphones. 
 
Thanks for the read, hope it helps.
