Skull-iQ Positive Reviews
Decent app, lacks full customization…I hope a person on the skull candy team finds this- I bought the Crushers ANC 2 not long ago, and this app is required to tweak things, I’ve set things up to my liking, but it feels like features are missing. For example the buttons make an obnoxious noise that I’m unable to turn off. and with the new scroll wheel thing, I absolutely hate that I’m unable to turn off or change the single press input. I can’t tell you how often I’ve gone to increase or decrease the bass just to accidentally press the button and change what I wanted. It’s annoying. I really hope someone on the scull candy team sees this, because I guarantee giving people full customization would be amazing. If you’re gonna market full customization, please give it..FlagH0peVersion: 2.2.2
Good headphone so far, annoying pop-upsEnjoying my Grind earphones so far!
It’s kinda crazy needing a whole app for the headset though, but it is cool to have it so customizable. However, what’s up with the pop-ups regarding voice control (ignore/allow)? I got the whole app open (gives the notifications if closed) but i still get them constantly. 😭
Overall, not bad though. Just weird, but so far i’ve managing..Can'tEvenBeginVersion: 2.2.2
Works great with Crusher ANC 2 HeadphonesI’ve never had a pair of headphones with this level of customization. I used the app to do a custom hearing test and it optimized the equalizer for my specific hearing profile. The difference in sound quality was noticeable. Love that you can program the physical buttons too and having a bass wheel on the cans means I can dial it in for whatever I happen to be listening to. And the Tile integration…I mean the list goes on. Best headphones I’ve ever owned and the app offers customizing options I’ve never had with past headphones..Ollie990Version: 2.0.0
Nevermind, it’s all good.When you updated the other app and transferred the product support to the other app, it seems to have fixed it after updating the original supporting app. I updated the earbuds again and it resolved it. Thanks, though. I’ll leave an email regarding a new issue that I have encountered with the crusher anc 2..Jocollier133Version: 2.0.0
Turn off button needed - in appLove the headphones, but I often use only one side at a time so I can listen to my kids if needed and music or a book. The right one let’s you turn it off, but the left one doesn’t have the same function. Would be a great app update if I could just turn the headphones off from inside the app..HousefullofboyzVersion: 2.0.0
Personal sound mode not workingJust bought the crusher anc 2, when i try to do hearing test for the personal sound mode, it keeps saying “error please check your internet connection” even though my internet is fine, i keep restarting the app but nothing.JovannyRVersion: 2.2.2
Ok appIt’s a good app to use but some of the features do not work since last update. I had controls set to left headphone but it does not recognize it any longer and stays on right headphone no matter how many times I’ve update the device settings. Great headphones though. No other issues except that..JadedwinchesterVersion: 2.2.3
Pretty good to startSo I got these headphones and tried out the app and it worked. But now it just logs me out and won’t let me go in to it. Now I can’t use the amazing features anymore. And before it was working but the voice control would not. Please help!!.Gra ha 12Version: 2.2.2

NikkiTo fix your problem put both buds in Charger till fully charged. Then take them out after you have disconnected them from Bluetooth and forget the device. Then turn bt back on your phone and hold button on buds for three seconds then put back in charger. Open lid connect to bt on your phone then set them to headphones as description.

I LOVE SKULLCANDY ONLINE SUPPORT!I looked everywhere to find out how I could get better quality performance out of my Grind earbuds and was prepared to buy a new set... 1. I'm very hard on wireless Logitech headsets...I've destroyed a dozen of them. I'm on my first set of Grinds when I normally would have chewed through 3 wireless headsets by now. 2. They're almost unbreakable and unlose-able. I've sat on them, dropped them, etc. 3. Recharging...the Grinds I have can top up in a heartbeat which makes me happy. Skullcandy, your support person was amazing (named Airol) and saved me the pain of having to buy new more expensive earbuds. I'm disabled and have the use of one hand...now can tell everybody I know to be patient and go to the Skullcandy online chat. Thank You, Skullcandy!.WarrenbwiVersion: 2.2.2

Skull-iQ Negative Reviews
Music, but can’t pick up phone callsI really hate that I spent so much money on these skull candy. Before the app change if someone called me I could answer the phone and hear them so we could talk. I use to be able to make calls also. However, some reason all they are good for is listening to music. I bought them bc my younger son thought they would come in handy trying to multitask while taking care of his brother who is special needs. They were supposed to let me be hands free for calls and listen to music to calm my anxiety. Now they are part of my anxiety bc it’s wasted money. I have stop what I’m doing to answer calls bc if I don’t I will miss doctors, etc. Then my son get distracted and it’s hard to get him back on track. When I bought them I was guaranteed that they were compatible with my iPhone..Cramped OnVersion: 2.2.2
App doesn’t workRecently bought a pair of the Rail-ANC to see how they fair while I wait on getting AirPods Pro 2. The buds themselves are great, extremely comfortable and have good quality sound but since the EQ can be tweaked in the app I thought no big issue I can change them soon. Downloaded the app and it doesn’t even recognize that they exist. There aren’t any threads that help with the issue. Skullcandy’s website practically refuses to acknowledge that it may be an app issue as it says to disconnect and reconnect, unpair then repair, reset your phone even and STILL nothing connects. Funny how the app is slated for their “smart” technology when the app is anything but smart. Don’t waist your time/money on their iq enabled products. Go with another brand. They’ve fallen very far from where they used to be..GabeRam2Version: 2.2.2
Will not connectThis app will not connect to my Skull Candy Push Active ear buds, even though it says they will connect. They won’t even connect to the old app, that app says to use this one. When I try to connect them, it says nothing is found, even though I have the ear buds in my ears and connected to my phone via Bluetooth. I’ve never had this problem with the old app. Btw, I just installed this app, so y’all need to update it. I can’t control any of the features of my earbuds now. Thank you for replacing an app that worked great to this one that doesn’t work. Please fix this and other issues. I am sure that I am not the only one with this issue. I did try using this app several months ago and I had the same problem..Brojon82Version: 2.2.1
Annoying pop up messagesThe app works well when it is open but it is constantly making unavoidable pop up messages when not in use. (Skull IQ would like to communicate with your headphones “Allow” “Ignore”) The problem is that regardless of what option you choose you’ll get the same unavoidable pop up message a couple of hours later. The app has been reinstalled a couple of times with the same issue still persisting. And the regrettable thing is that otherwise the app works really well. Even with disabling the notifications in the settings it still does nothing to stop the pop up messages. Please fix this!.SnapisbrockenVersion: 2.1.1
$85 not loud enoughI’m sorry for complaining these are good headphones for not the money but when I spend 70 $80 on headphones, I expect by the music at that I listen to to blow off my eardrums in a psychedelic fashion of the money it’s worth. And they’re not noise canceling I don’t know where are you got people saying these headphones are noise, canceling it or not. They would be good headphones. If it doesn’t sound like they’re playing safety volume to the metal that I listen to when I spend 80 or $70 for the metal music that I listen to it be worth the money I could see these headphones being 40 or $30 less I spent four because of the sound I’m sorry.HellkillerstromVersion: 2.2.1
Hate the appI usually don’t write reviews but I have no idea what’s going on with this app. Everytime I’ve tried to connect my headphones it says that they cannot connect. My headphones are above 25%
Usually always fully charged and my internet is fine, I’ve never had any problems with Bluetooth but for some reason I cannot get the full access to the app at all. I don’t know what’s going on but it pisses me off. And I’ve tried deleting the app, reconnecting my headphones but nothing. The headphones are fine, they work amazing, but this app is horrible..Alohyayaya_Version: 2.2.2
Not so smoothJust installed new firmware from the latest Skullcandy app and I got my Wi-Fi on my grind fuels are on and the app is not picking up my signal. I’m right in front of my phone where the app is not smiling. I set up my equalizer and I was looking forward to really cool experience but it’s not happening. Skull Candy used to be a leader right that’s a question, right? …guess I’ll just go across the room and grab my JLabs… or maybe my AirPod Pro second generations they’re pretty cool…I guess you get what you pay for? Cheers..WildsandsVersion: 2.2.3
It’s not workingI have the Push Active and wanted to use my hands free capabilities, so I connected to the Skullcandy app and got the notification to download the Skull-IQ app. But when I tried to connect the earbuds, it just didn’t work. I accepted all of the requests, powered off my phone, and rebooting my earbuds. Still, nothing. I don’t understand why this is happening and I’m upset that I no longer get to use the features of my earbuds. If anyone knows anything that can help me, that would be nice because I have no idea why this is happening..Childofapollo222Version: 2.0.0
Will not connectI should have returned my Grind earbuds when they changed the app and they failed to connect multiple times. More fool me (now out of warranty) as they still refuse point blank to connect even with the many updates the app has had since the summer. Eh. They still work as stand alone earbuds but I will *never* spend this much money on earbuds again when I can pay a quarter of the price for the same functionality..ModgecatVersion: 2.2.3
Won’t connect my earbuds to the appJust like a lot of the other 1 star reviews it’s because I literally cannot use the app at all for my grind earbuds. I’ve tried restarting my earbuds, deleting the app and re downloading it and deleting the old one. I’ve tried forgetting this device on my Bluetooth looked for any updates nothing works… this app is completely hit or miss on whether you can even USE the app in the first place..Bobby642048Version: 2.2.2
The biggest draw of the app doesn’t workThe personal audio feature doesn’t work for me no matter how many times I reboot or reinstall it. It takes me to the test and refuses to play any audio, or on the rare occasion that it DOES, it plays it for half a second before going silent again. It’s pretty ridiculous and contacting support got me nowhere. I have the Rail ANC. :/.RetroliVersion: 2.2.2
AnnoyingSo I love the earbuds however it takes too long to connect. The app sometimes doesn’t recognize that the earbuds are right in front of it. It won’t connect but somehow still does, the app just won’t verify them. I thought it was a bug but it’s not. It’s really frustrating when you basically live off of music. I will change my rating once this is fixed..OneOkayOtterVersion: 2.2.2
Doesn’t connectI have no idea how good the app is because I can’t get them to connect to my grind fuels. I just bought them and I can’t use the features I bought these 90$ earbuds for. They’re no better than the 30$ sesh evos I had before this(actually the audio is better because I don’t need an app to fix the equalizer)
If someone could fix this, that would be great
Thx👍.LilduquieVersion: 2.2.2
Never connectsEver since this app has come out, I have never been able to connect it to my Grind headphones. Its is connected yo my iPhone, it works (basic functions) and it will connect to Skull Candy app. I have done all the troubleshooting tips to include deleting that old app, rei stalling IQ, turning bluetooth off and on, reconnecting etc…Nothing works. Its awful..UskrumsVersion: 2.2.3
Good luck connecting.Good luck connecting your headphones to this app. Their support guide is laughable and basic turn off turn on troubleshooting. The app cannot detect the headphones, that will play music or accept phone calls. All in all spend your money elsewhere on headphones that don’t require a busted app to make the sound quality not sound like a flat tin can..Lear73Version: 2.0.0

FrustratedSo, I don’t really know if this is a fault with the app, but it very well could be, and I wouldn’t know. Just last night, I noticed my Grind (Not Grind Fuel) earbuds started to sound noticeably bad. The case was low, so I thought I’d charge it while I slept, and it would be fixed in the morning. Come today, and the problem persists. I went into the Skull-iQ app to see if a needed updates or something, but when I tapped on the Grind section at the top of the Home Screen, it said there were no updates available. I went into settings to see what I could find, and I went to the “Product Help” page under the “Help on the Web” section. It brought me to a list of articles on their website, so I scrolled down the list and found the one called “Grind and Grind Fuel”. I read through the article, and NONE OF THE INFORMATION WAS ABOUT GRIND, JUST GRIND FUEL. Mad, I went to the search bar on their website and looked up “Grind” again. Apparently, there was a separate article for Grind, so what was with the other one?? I clicked on the article, and ALL IT WAS, WAS A PRODUCT DESCRIPTION, A PRIVATED, UNVIEWABLE YOUTUBE VIDEO, AN EMPTY FAQ SECTION, AND WARRANTY INFORMATION. Nothing of use. I don’t know if that was an old article or something, and the “Grind and Grind Fuel” article was supposed the be an updated version or something, but again, that article only mentions Grind Fuel and the Skullcandy APP. I’m confused, frustrated, and all my audio sounds awful. These headphones were a Christmas gift, and my family got these ones specifically because they were on sale, and the guy at the store talked them into it. Starting to think that worker was just trying to get rid of these. 😡.Alex_pro5060Version: 2.2.3

Do not update phone to iOS 17First of all they deserve no stars. After 9 months my left earbud stopped working. The controls keep working but no sound comes out. Everything was connected until I updated my phone to iOS 17. What they don’t tell you is that your headphones will disconnect and you cannot get them to reconnect to your iPhone. They unpair from the app and in the trouble shooting article it tells you it only supports up to iOS 16. Wait until skullcandy get there crap together before updated your phone or buying the headphones..DaniJansVersion: 2.2.1
