Find The Bluetooth Headphones
This step will allow you to activate Bluetooth connectivity on any device that supports Bluetooth, such as a phone or laptop. You should also ensure that your device is visible.
Remember that Bluetooth headphones can’t be found if the Bluetooth-enabled device’s display isn’t visible. Your phone or laptop should show the headphones in the list.

Confirm The Success Of The Pairing Process
When your Skullcandy headphones are successfully paired, there are two ways they will alarm you. They will sound like a beep. The LED light will cease blinking and sound a beep.
The LED light will flash when Bluetooth connectivity is activated on your headphones. After the pairing process has been completed successfully, the LED will stop blinking.
If after you have completed the pairing steps, the LED light stops blinking or the beep sounds stop making an audible sound, it is time to try again. Try resetting your headphones if it fails.
The process of setting up Skullcandy headphones can be different for each model. To ensure that you follow the correct procedure, we strongly recommend that your owner’s manual be used.
The reset process for most Skullcandy headphones involves you turning the headphones off, pressing the Plus and Minus buttons simultaneously, and then waiting for the double sound to be heard.
Why Are My Skullcandy Earbuds Not Charging?
A common issue with earbuds that can be damaged is default charging. It can happen to either one or both of your earbuds. If the charging case doesn’t have a red indicator light when you insert your earbuds, it means that your earbuds don’t charge.
Your earbuds might not close properly, too. The problem could be caused by debris blocking the charging pins. Other cases might result in the earbuds not being seated on the case.
How To Reset Skullcandy Wireless Earbuds
First, turn off your earbuds. Next, press the Volume and power buttons simultaneously for five seconds. This will reset your paired devices. After removing all connected devices, turn on the earbuds.
Here are some steps to follow if one of you is working alone.
- Take the Bluetooth device list off the earbuds
- Place the earbuds inside the charging case
- Turn off Bluetooth
- Take your left earbuds out of the case
- Tap the middle button until you see a red light on your earbuds
- Recover the earbuds from the case
You can repeat the same steps for the other earbud. Place both earbuds in your ear. If the pairing is successful, both earbuds should beep. Bluetooth can be turned back on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop smartwatch. Pair your device by selecting the Bluetooth list earbuds that you have selected.
How To Fix One Earbud Connection
Skullcandy wireless headphones have one problem: it only connects to one earbud. There is an easy solution to this problem:
- Turn off Bluetooth on your connected device (Phone or laptop, tablet, etc.)
- Turn on your earbuds (since your Bluetooth is off, your earbuds won’t be paired).
- Four times, click in the middle of search earbud. This will turn off and reset your earbuds. This should be done even if the buds aren’t connected to your device.
- Close the lid and place your earbuds in the case.
- Now your earbuds can be paired together
- You will hear a beep to let you know that the earbuds are paired.
- Start the pairing process by turning Bluetooth back on.
After your device has been paired, both earbuds should now be working.
Solutions For Skullcandy Headphones Not Pairing
You may have pairing problems at times. There are several solutions.
When pairing, ensure devices are not too far apart
Soft reset both your devices. Simply turn off the devices to get rid of bugs, and then reconnect them.
Unpair any device previously paired with your device. If your Bluetooth speakers have been paired to your current device, it is likely that your device is trying to find a connection to that device. This issue can be resolved by either unpairing the device or turning it off.
Take your headphones out of your device. If your Bluetooth list shows your headphones but you are unable to pair them, then remove your headphones or “forget” them from your Bluetooth list. Then you can rediscover your headphones.
Disconnect from interfering devices: Devices such as microwaves and routers with sub 3.0 ports can interfere and disrupt the pairing process. A successful connection can be achieved by simply moving away from such devices.
