These seem like a nice upgrade over Sesh EVO (which I have no complaints about after 18 months).
The Share Audio feature is interesting. Total battery life is almost double what the EVO has to offer. The same EQ presets, in addition of a Custom EQ is nice. Hands-free voice control is enticing. Wireless charging is a bonus.
On the product page it does say "Compatible with iPhone only" but unless the refurb process removed some hardware/software, I'm not sure how accurate it is. But I'm willing to take the loss (im on android) and save it for a future gift if that disclaimer is accurate.

I think it's just misinformation. On the packages they say made for iPhone, but I called Skullcandy customer service and they told me that the grind fuels are compatible with Android and iPhones. They just put on the box to let people know that it is also compatible with iPhones in addition to Android.

Yeah, I saw the same in the user manual. Figured it was just bad info on the ebay page, but I grabbed a pair regardless. Thanks for the deal!
Welp. Got the earbuds in the mail. Left one is more or less dead. It does pair, but no audio except for an occasional whisper of static. Hoping they can send a replacement that'll actually be refurb'd.

Should be getting one in the mail any day now (as per seller).

That's funny, I had a pair of sesh evos that worked great for 18 months also but then one bud stopped holding a charge.
I got my Sesh Evo's in Nov 2020. Still working great. Have used them pretty much every single day I've owned them, just binging on Podcasts. Wore them in the shower a couple times on accident and dropped them a couple times (just the other day most recently) and I'm surprised they've lasted this long. Hoping the Grind Fuel will be a good replacement for the Sesh Evo (once I get a pair that works), then just retire the Sesh Evo to a sedentary lifestyle of Steam Deck and Chromecast audio streaming. lol
Only real complaint is that they don't hold as well in my ear as the Sesh Evo. I think this has to do with the earbud shape vs the silicone ear grommet. Odd thing is, the Grind Fuel do seem significantly lighter even with the supposed longer lasting battery. I haven't put the battery to its full test yet, but I was down 10-15% (via Skullcandy app) after 1-2hrs of listening.
Spotify connect is annoying though. I disabled it in Spotify itself and removed the button press to activate it in Skullcandy App. Custom EQ is nice. I plan on trying out the audio sharing feature (still have the defective set with 1 working earbud because they didn't supply return shipping label yet).
If your ear shape is ideal for these, this would be a worthwhile upgrade over the Sesh Evo, though for me, I won't be wearing them if I'm doing something that requires a lot of movements in a wide range of motions. I had them fall out on the floor numerous times when removing old caulk and installing new caulk around a couple toilets last week. That was unpleasant.

Sorry to hear that. Did you get a replacement?
