FAQ

Why Do Skullcandy Headphones Flash Blue And Red?

Skullcandy wireless headphones flashing blue and red shows that they are in discovery mode (which they automatically do when not connected to a Bluetooth device).

All you need to do in this situation is make sure they are paired. Check your Bluetooth device list and ensure they are on there, or follow the normal steps to pair your headphones.

Another reason they may be flashing blue and red is that the Bluetooth connection on your device may have been turned off (which can be common with some devices that don’t require you to jump through a menu to do so, such as an iPhone).

In this case, the headphones will flash blue and red until they are reconnected, which you can do by following the steps above.

It is also possible to set the headphones to pairing mode, even if they are currently connected to a compatible device.

If they have disconnected simply wait for them to pair up again, or if not remove them from your Bluetooth device and re-pair them up. This should stop the flashing lights.

How Do I Check If My Skullcandy Headphones Are Charged?

This is straightforward:

• Hold the power button (it won’t matter if the headphones are on or off), and you’ll see the battery level on the 4 LEDs.

Can I Use Skullcandy Headphones For Mixing?

Generally, you’ll want to invest in a pair of studio headphones to mix with. Studio headphones are designed to have a flat frequency response that doesn’t color the sound of the track you are mixing.

Of course, Skullcandy headphones can be used for mixing because you can physically listen to your mix, but they won’t give as much of a true reflection as a pair of open-backed studio headphones.

How Do I Clean Skullcandy Headphones?

Headphones naturally get dirt and dust built up on them, whether that’s from being carried in a rucksack or just general day-to-day use.

To clean your headphones:

1. Grab a clean cloth, Q-tips, and rubbing alcohol (above 63% is best).
2. You may be able to remove the ear pads and extend the headband but don’t be too rough or try and remove anything that seems stuck, as you could easily end up damaging the headphones.
3. Use the rubbing alcohol sparingly and gently clean the headphones, but pay extra attention to ensure that you aren’t touching the drivers or any electrical components.
