Did you just newly purchase a Skullcandy wireless headphone or speaker and are wondering how to pair Skullcandy wireless headphones to Android/iPhone??. Worry no more, you’ve come just to the right place. Read and follow the steps mentioned in this article to be able to pair your headphone/speaker with your android device(tablet, smartphone), iOS device(iPad, iPhone), MAC system, or windows system.
This is a really easy process and the only thing you really need to do is switch on your Bluetooth on your phone. The below method should work with most of the Skullcandy wireless headsets namely Crusher ANC Wireless Headphones, Venue Noise Canceling Wireless Headphone, Hesh 2 Wireless Headphone, Grind Wireless Headphone, Hesh 3 Wireless, Uproar Wireless Headphone, Riff Wireless On-Ear Headphone, Cassette Wireless On-Ear Headphones, Icon Wireless On-Ear Headphone.

Troubleshooting Connection
If you followed the steps above and are yet not able to pair your headphones / ear buds to your device try below steps :
- Make sure that the device is not too far away from the Skullcandy headset. Both the headset and your device has to be within the range of approx. 40ft – 50ft in order to be paired successfully.
- Make sure that the LED light on your headset is still blinking, if not then repeat Step 1 again to turn on pairing mode for your headset.
- Double-check that you have connected the right headset on your device. Go to the Bluetooth option on your phone or system and recheck the name of the device that you have connected. There is a chance that you may have paired with the wrong device.
