To connect Skullcandy wireless earbuds, put the specific model into Bluetooth pairing mode using its official instructions, then select the matching earbud name in your phone, tablet, or computer’s Bluetooth settings. The control sequence varies by model, so identify your earbuds before following setup steps.
1. Find your Skullcandy earbuds’ exact model
Look on the earbuds, charging case, packaging, or product documentation for the model name. Skullcandy’s support pages organize true-wireless earbuds by model and list variants such as Indy and Sesh. Start with the Skullcandy True Wireless Earbuds support section to locate the right product information.
2. Put the earbuds into pairing mode
Open the official guide for your exact model and follow its “Pairing Mode” instructions. Skullcandy’s Quick Start Guide resource confirms that its guides include a pairing-mode section, but the button sequence is not the same for every model. Do not assume that holding a particular button, using a specific LED pattern, or taking the earbuds out of the case will work universally.
3. Select the earbuds in your device’s Bluetooth settings
Once pairing mode makes the earbuds discoverable, open Bluetooth settings on the phone, tablet, or computer you want to connect. Look for the matching Skullcandy model name in the available-device list and select it. Bluetooth menu labels and paths differ by host device and operating-system version; if the name does not appear, check that the earbuds are in pairing mode according to their model guide.

If the earbuds do not connect
Confirm the model instructions
Check that you are using the guide for the exact earbuds you own. Pairing controls and procedures can differ among Skullcandy models, and a sequence for one pair may not apply to another.
Check that the earbuds have power
If the earbuds are not charged or ready to power on, they may not be available for pairing. Use the charging guidance for your model. For Hesh 2 Wireless specifically, Skullcandy advises checking the charging port for debris and making sure the cable is securely inserted when charging indicators are absent; that headphone-specific advice should not be treated as a universal earbud procedure. See Skullcandy’s Hesh 2 Wireless support article.
