Select your earbuds from the list and click on “connect”. And that’s it! Your Skullcandy earbuds should now be connected to your iPhone.
Troubleshooting the Earbuds
It’s not uncommon to experience pairing issues. However, in most cases, this is quite easy to solve. To solve the issue you’ll need to reset your earbuds. Here’s how:
- Place both earbuds in the charging case.
- remove your earbuds from your Bluetooth device list (on your phone, tablet, smartwatch..etc.)
- Turn off Bluetooth on your device.
- Remove only your left earbuds from the case.
- Tap the center of the earbuds until a red light appears on your earbud (a red light should typically appear in four taps)
- Place the earbud back in the case.
- Repeat the exact same steps with the right earbud.
- Remove both earbuds from the case & place them in your ear (Note: it’s crucial that you place the earbuds in your ear when removing them from the case in order to pair with each other).
- Your earbuds will then beep to indicate that the earbuds are paired together.
- A voice prompt will then appear to state, “your device is now pairing” this indicates that your earbuds are searching for your device.
- Turn your device’s Bluetooth back on (on your phone, tablet, smartwatch..etc.)
- Select your earbuds on your device’s Bluetooth list to pair your device.
If the issue still persists or you notice that only one of your earbuds seems to be connecting then take a look at our detailed guide.
How to Pair Skullcandy Headphones to iPhone
Pairing your wireless Skullcandy headphones to your iPhone is very similar to pairing the earbuds. You want to follow these steps to pair the items successfully:
Start by placing your headphones on pairing mode by holding the power button for 4-5 seconds. Next, on your iPhone. Open the “Settings” menu and turn on Bluetooth. The Skullcandy wireless headphones should appear under “OTHER DEVICES” using the name and number of their model.
From there, you can simply tap on the name of the headphones. You should hear a beep, or the LED light will stop flashing once the headphones pair with your device. Now, you’re all set to listen to your favorite songs- it’s that simple.
Troubleshooting the Headphones
If you’re having trouble connecting the headphones with your iPhone, start by “forgetting” your headphones from your iPhone’s Bluetooth list, then try again.
Why Skullcandy Earbuds or Headphones Won’t Pair
Sometimes, it takes a few tries for the wireless earbuds or headphones to pair with your phone. Once you successfully pair them the first time, they should pair automatically after that.
If the devices don’t pair with each other, make sure they’re very close together. A significant distance can sometimes cause issues during the setup process. However, you can move them about five feet apart when you’ve finished setting up.
