Troubleshooting bluetooth pairing
Here are some common troubleshooting methods to follow when your Skullcandy earbuds do not connect with your device. Go through these methods one by one.
Maintain some distance
When you are trying to pair your Skullcandy earbuds with your device, make sure you are not placing them too close to each other. Maintain a reasonable distance, and then try pairing them.
Perform a soft reset on both devices
Take a moment to reboot both of your devices. A soft reset means powering off both the devices and then restarting them. You can reset your Skullcandy earbuds by pressing and holding the left earbud for 10 seconds until you see lights flashing. After that, restart the device you want to connect and try pairing it with your earbuds.
Make sure both devices are fully charged
Sometimes low battery could be the reason behind pairing issues between two Bluetooth devices. Just make sure you charge your Skullcandy earbuds and the other device ahead of pairing. If one of the devices is undercharged, you might face pairing issues.
Remove any previously connected devices
Disconnect or unpair any recently connected devices. Your device may be trying to connect to a Bluetooth speaker or another device you’ve previously connected with. This problem can be solved by unplugging that device or switching it off. You can also go to your device’s Bluetooth list and unpair the previously connected device.
Unpair and Re-pair your Skullcandy earbuds
If you have paired your Skullcandy earbuds before, but now they don’t seem to connect, although they keep showing up in the paired devices list. To correct this issue, unpair your Skullcandy earbuds from the list and then try to pair them again with your device.
Move away from specific devices in your household
Although this is a rare possibility but could help in case nothing else seems to work. Sometimes devices like your Router or microwave oven could cause hindrances in the pairing process of your Bluetooth devices. Get away and try pairing your devices away from such equipment in your house.
How-to fix only one side working
Skullcandy’s wireless earbuds have a common issue — sometimes, only one of the earbuds pairs with your device. Follow the steps below to solve the issue:
- Put back your Skullcandy earbuds in the charging case
- Remove the earbuds from the Bluetooth list on your device that you are connecting with
- Toggle off Bluetooth on your device too
- Now, take out the left earbud from the charging case and tap the center of the earbud around 4 times until you see a red light flash
- Put back the earbud in the charging case and repeat the process with the right earbud
- If the above step does not work, press and hold the center buttons of each earbud until they power off. Then, press and hold the buttons again until the LED light flashes red and powers off — this takes around ten seconds. Next, put them back in the case.
- Now, take out both the earbuds from the charging case and wear them
- You will now hear a beep that confirms that they are now paired together
- Furthermore, you will hear a voice command saying, “your device is now pairing,” which means that the earbuds are now looking to pair with your device
- On your device, turn on Bluetooth and select Skullcandy Earbuds from the list of available Bluetooth devices and pair them
- You will now be able to use your Skullcandy earbuds normally, with sound coming from both right and left earbuds.

Using your skullcandy earbuds after pairing
Skullcandy wireless earbuds can be used for a variety of purposes. The first thing you can do is manage your phone calls using these devices. Each bud on your headset may be used to make and receive phone calls by simply pressing it twice. You can reject incoming calls by pressing and holding the earbuds for at least 2 seconds.
You may enable voice assistance by tapping each bud 3 times. After that, you’ll be able to communicate with it and trigger voice commands. You may use it to listen to music, games, and various other audio files.
When the earphones’ battery is running low, please put them in their charging case and let them recharge. As soon as they begin charging, the buds’ LEDs turn red; after they are charged up, the LED lights turn off. Earbuds must never be entirely depleted of power since this might harm the battery. A warning tone plays when the batteries in the earbuds are running low.
It’s simple to use these earbuds. By tapping the earbuds, you can adjust the volume. Tap the right earbud once to boost the volume. Tap the left earbud once to lower the volume.
