vs
The test of wireless headphones Skullcandy Riff Wireless vs Skullcandy Grind points out a lot in common. Both products have on the ear wearing style with a closed back. However Skullcandy Grind may be used with a wire as well.
Features
The frequency response of both headphones is absolutely equal and states 20Hz-20KHz as well as sensitivity of 98 dB and impedance of 32 Ohm. The battery life in Skullcandy Riff Wireless vs Skullcandy Grind is equal and states 12 hours. You may use a Grind model with a cable that comes in a set and with a battery free listening mode while Riff has no such options. Also both have no aptX / aptX HD support.
Sound
The sound quality of Skullcandy Riff Wireless vs Grind seemed to me a little clearer at low frequencies, though both have a decent and harmonious reproduction at all frequencies. Even being a sensitive listener I felt no “scratching” my ear by sharp highs or pumping out lows. A nice sound for amateur listening.
Comfort and design
Both headphones have adjustable headbands, made mostly of plastic and have a soft foam inside the ear pads. Skullcandy Riff Wireless has an advantage vs Grind being foldable. The weight of Skullcandy Grind is 183 g vs 275 g of Riff Wireless.
Skullcandy Riff Wireless pros and cons
Pros
- I was not expecting that this model would allow me to answer phone calls since it has no microphone that is usually placed on a cord, which is absent here. So that is a quite pleasant surprise. By the way, it sounds nice and clear. So, hands free calling is a plus
- The headphones have a really fast speed charge and a battery level indicator unlike Grind ones
- Very fast and easy initial setup that took about 2 min
Cons
- They have no audio suppression and you will hear the noise around because of the on ear design
- The plastic looks a bit frail that makes me hesitate in their durability
Skullcandy Grind pros and cons
Pros
- Built in microphone adds here a function of audio calls, speaker, and voice control based on Siri/Google Assistant
- I would call the sound quality even above the average for the type
- A back-up option is also a bonus in the case the battery dies
Cons
- Unfoldable design seems to me not a strong point in the terms of portability
