The Basics of Wireless Earbuds Pairing
Before diving into the pairing process, it’s essential to understand how wireless earbuds work. Skullcandy’s wireless earbuds use a technology called Bluetooth to connect to your device. Bluetooth is a wireless personal area network technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over short distances.
To pair your Skullcandy wireless earbuds, you’ll need:
- A Bluetooth-enabled device (such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop)
- Your Skullcandy wireless earbuds
- A fully charged battery (make sure your earbuds are fully charged before attempting to pair)
Step-by-Step Pairing Instructions
Now that you have your device and earbuds ready, let’s get started with the pairing process!
Step 1: Put Your Earbuds in Pairing Mode
To put your Skullcandy wireless earbuds in pairing mode, follow these steps:
- Turn off your earbuds by pressing and holding the power button until the LED light turns off.
- Press and hold the power button again until the LED light starts flashing red and blue. This indicates that your earbuds are in pairing mode.
Step 2: Enable Bluetooth on Your Device
Next, enable Bluetooth on your device. The steps to do this vary depending on your device’s operating system:
- For Android devices: Go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Turn On
- For iOS devices: Go to Settings > Bluetooth > Turn On
- For Windows devices: Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices > Turn On
Step 3: Search for Available Devices
Once Bluetooth is enabled on your device, search for available devices. Your device should detect your Skullcandy wireless earbuds. The earbuds’ name may appear as “Skullcandy [Model Name]” or “Skullcandy Earbuds.”

Select your Skullcandy wireless earbuds from the list of available devices. If prompted, enter the passcode “0000” or “1234” (the default passcode for most Skullcandy earbuds).

If charging the earbuds doesn’t work, try resetting them. To reset your Skullcandy earbuds, press and hold the button on the charging case for 10 seconds until the LED indicator flashes. This will restore the earbuds to their factory settings, and you can try pairing them again with your device.

Why won’t my Skullcandy earbuds connect to my computer?
If your Skullcandy earbuds won’t connect to your computer, ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Also, check that your earbuds are in pairing mode and the charging case is open. Sometimes, restarting your computer or earbuds can resolve connectivity issues.
If you’re still having trouble, ensure that your computer’s Bluetooth drivers are up to date. You can check the manufacturer’s website for updates. Additionally, try moving your earbuds closer to your computer to ensure a stable connection.
How do I adjust the volume on my Skullcandy earbuds?
To adjust the volume on your Skullcandy earbuds, use the touch controls on the earbuds themselves. You can tap the “+” button to increase the volume and the “-” button to decrease it. You can also use the volume controls on your phone or device to adjust the volume.
Keep in mind that some Skullcandy earbuds have additional features like volume limiting, which can help protect your hearing. You can usually find these features in the Skullcandy app or device settings.
Can I use my Skullcandy earbuds with multiple devices?
Yes, you can use your Skullcandy earbuds with multiple devices. To do this, pair the earbuds with each device individually, just like you would pair them with a single device. Then, you can switch between devices by selecting the earbuds on each device’s Bluetooth settings.
Keep in mind that some Skullcandy earbuds have a feature called “multipoint connectivity,” which allows them to connect to two devices simultaneously. This feature is usually available on higher-end models, so check your earbuds’ specifications to see if they support this feature.
What do I do if I lose one of my Skullcandy earbuds?
If you lose one of your Skullcandy earbuds, try retracing your steps to see if you can find it. If you’re unable to locate the missing earbud, you can contact Skullcandy customer support for a replacement. You may need to provide proof of purchase and the serial number of your earbuds.
In the meantime, you can try using a single earbud, as most Skullcandy earbuds can operate independently. However, you may experience reduced sound quality and some features may not work as intended. Be sure to take good care of your earbuds to avoid losing them in the future.
