Our Verdict

Beats Studio Buds True Wireless

Skullcandy Grind Fuel True Wireless

The Skullcandy Grind Fuel True Wireless are better than the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. The Skullcandy have a longer continuous battery life, a better companion app, and a superior overall mic performance. Despite having no ANC, the Skullcandy have better noise isolation passively than the Beats do with ANC on. They also have a more stable fit, a better control scheme, and 'Skull-iQ' features, including built-in voice commands. On the other hand, the Βeats are more comfortable and better built.
