skullcandy left earbud not working - Troubleshooting 

My dude😂

i love this comment 😂😂

me right now😭

Mine either. Tried everything! Fustrating!

@@pauldiego5711 the worst part is that they were an online Christmas gift!!! I tried the sand paper method but both if them ended up not working. it's better to buy in store so you can return it easily!!! so mad

@@monsterteendream I returned mine and they gave me a $70 credit online. I'll take it as they were only like $35! Hopefully the next pair works..🤞

I'm on the second set with the exact same problem. Skullcandy is rapidly seeming to be shit. EDIT- completely gave up on Skullcandy. Soundcore is the new hotness.

i'm having this same problem rn. i just help the thing down in anger til it finally lit up solidly (not bugging out and blinking, turning on and off again) and now it seems to be charging. i'll update though if its not working. the time rn is 3:51 am ok it's 3:55 and i just fucked with it a bunch til it worked. i tried: forgetting it from bluetooth, reconnecting, and then they were both on but only the right one was connecting. then i put them both back in the case and left it for a second then they were both paired and working. the answer is to click everything til something works

Oh man, I totally get the struggle with those Skullcandy Grinds. They're awesome for the price, but yeah, they can be tricky sometimes. Good on you for figuring out that button trick, though! It's kinda like a secret handshake with your earbuds, huh? Just keep at it, and you'll have them working smooth in no time. Happy listening!

awesome to hear your JIB TRUE2 earbuds are working now! Glad the video helped you out.

Bummer about the glitches! If they're still under warranty, definitely consider sending them back for a replacement or repair. Better to sort it out now than deal with issues later on. 🎧👍

you've tried a lot of troubleshooting already, good job! Unfortunately, it sounds like your right earbud might be experiencing a hardware issue. If your Skullcandy earbuds are still under warranty, I'd suggest reaching out to Skullcandy's customer service for assistance. If they're not, you may want to consider professional repair or potentially upgrading to a new pair. Remember, earbuds' lifespan can be impacted by many factors including usage, care, and even just time. Hang in there!

Great to hear!

for me is the exact oposite way

Welcome 👍

Oh wow, over a year? That's a long time to go with just one earbud working! Glad to hear it's finally sorted out.

Wow, that sounds like a bit of a hassle but good on you for figuring out a workaround! It’s weird how tech can be finicky like that. Thanks for sharing your fix, it might just save the day for someone else with the same problem.

No problem

Hey there! It seems like your left earbud may have a battery or connectivity issue. You might want to try resetting your earbuds first. For Skullcandy Grind Fuel, you usually do this by placing them in the case, making sure they're charging, then touch and hold both earbuds for about 10 seconds until they reset. If this doesn't solve the problem, it's possible the earbud battery might be faulty, especially since you're experiencing rapid drain and slow charge. Skullcandy offers a 2-year warranty, so if they're still under warranty, I'd suggest reaching out to Skullcandy's customer support. If not, a professional repair service might be the next step. Best of luck!

Thanks a lot man I will look into changing its battery

This didn’t work. All of the battery level indicators are always blinking. When I turn off the buds and place them back into the case, then take them out. They never turn on by themselves. If I manually turn them on, the right bud is flashing red and blue, while the left just flashes blue… I hold them close to each other , but the left never pairs. Any ideas?

Happy to help

here's a little trick you might wanna try. Sometimes, these earbuds get a bit finicky and need a soft reset. Have you tried giving that a go? Just put them back in the case, make sure they're sitting right, and then leave them alone for a bit. Also, cleaning the contacts gently with a dry cloth can help. Dust can be a sneaky little troublemaker. If that doesn't do the trick, it might be worth checking out Skullcandy's support page. They've got some more steps to try and can help with a replacement if you need one.

Hey! 😊 With the Skullcandy Dime, the right earbud typically acts as the main connection. If the right one isn't working, the left might have issues connecting. I'd suggest trying to reset them or checking the manual for troubleshooting tips. Since you just bought them, you might also consider returning or exchanging them if they’re still under warranty. 🎧🔄

Did you try resetting them? Sometimes it helps. If not, maybe see if there's any dirt or something blocking the left bud. If still not working, reaching out to Skullcandy might be the way to go.

Glad I could help

Hey, that's odd. Maybe it's not charging properly. Check if there's gunk in the case or on the earbud connectors. Clean 'em and try again. If it still acts up, hit up Skullcandy support.

Always welcome

that's awesome!

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Skullcandy Indi Evo. It sounds like you're facing a common issue where each earbud is connecting to your device separately. Try resetting them: 1. Take both earbuds out of your ears and turn off Bluetooth on your device. 2. Hold down the button on both earbuds for about 10 seconds until they turn off. 3. Put the earbuds back in the charging case for about a minute. 4. Take them out and try pairing them with your device again. If this doesn't work, I recommend reaching out to Skullcandy's customer service. They're usually pretty helpful!

Have you tried giving it a reset? Sometimes these little gadgets just need a quick restart to get back on track. Also, double-check if it's properly cleaned, sometimes dirt gets in the way. If it's still acting up, might be worth reaching out to Skullcandy's support. They're usually pretty good with this stuff.

Glad it helped

You're welcome!

Hey there! Sorry to hear you're still having trouble with your left earbud. If the blue light doesn't appear even after trying the troubleshooting steps, it could be a deeper issue. It might be best to contact Skullcandy's customer support for further assistance or to inquire about a potential warranty claim. Hope it gets resolved soon! 🎧

My left ear bud still isn't working, plus I just cleaned them, and their new and haven't been exposed to water, help :(

Thanks! 😊

Welcome!

It sounds like it might be a hardware problem. Have you tried resetting them? Sometimes that helps. Also, check if there's any dirt or debris blocking the sound. If it's still not working, maybe contact Skullcandy for support.

Maybe try reseting them? Sometimes that fixes these kinda problems. If it still doesn't work, since you got them online just a few days back, you could check for a return or replacement policy.

@@hifiaudios8101 Yeah, unfortunately, the reset didn't work. The left bud, I think, is dead. It didn't recognise any form of button pressing inputs. It also doesn't seem to hold charge. Seems to turn off as soon as it removed from the charging dock. I bought the earbuds with 2 years warrenty. Hopefully, I hear back from them. Thanks for the advise anyway

Ah, bummer it's not the right model. Maybe try searching for your specific earbuds? Skullcandy's can be tricky sometimes.

Most welcome 😊

Might wanna try a reset, or check if it's properly seated in the charging case. If still no luck, could be a defect. Maybe contact Skullcandy or the seller for help

You're welcome 😊

try resetting them. sometimes its just a syncing issue. if that dont help, could be a hardware prob. check warranty maybe? good luck!

Dang, that's frustrating. Sucks when you pay more and get less. Maybe these ain't cut out for loud places like construction sites. Thx for the heads up, might stick to cheaper ones for that kinda work. 👍

oh lol if the right one's giving you trouble too, try the same steps from the vid! Sometimes it's just a sync issue or something

Glad to hear that

Oh no! Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your new Skullcandy Grind earbuds. First, try a full reset on your earbuds (usually you press and hold the buttons on both buds until they turn off, then press and hold again until they pair with each other). Then reconnect to your device. If the issue persists, reach out to Skullcandy's customer support or consider returning them since they're only a week old. Good luck!

Oh, I've had a similar issue before! What worked for me was holding down the button like you're doing, but also make sure your earbuds are fully charged. Sometimes, they act weird if they're not charged up all the way. Also, have you tried resetting them? That might help the left one start behaving like the right one.

Oh no, sorry to hear about your earbud! If it's liquid damage, first thing, make sure it's completely dry before trying anything else. You can use silica gel packets or uncooked rice to help absorb any leftover moisture. After you're sure it's dry, try charging it and see if it starts working. If not, it may be permanently damaged by the liquid. In such case, it might be best to reach out to Skullcandy's customer support or consider a replacement. Hope you find a solution soon!

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the earbuds. It's always frustrating when a product doesn't live up to expectations.

Oh, that's a bummer! When they pair separately, it's like they got their own minds, right? Try resetting them, that might get 'em to behave and pair up together again. Check out the manual for how to do it, or maybe there's a vid that can show ya. Good luck! ✌️

Oh, I get what you're saying. Sometimes being gentle doesn't cut it. Just be careful not to tap too hard, don't wanna end up breaking it. If giving it a firmer tap doesn't fix the left earbud, might be worth checking out Skullcandy's warranty or support page. Hope it starts working for you!

Great 👍

If tapping the left earbud didn’t do the trick, you might wanna try resetting them completely. Sometimes, a full reset can kick things back into gear. If that still doesn’t work, it might be a hardware issue. Might be time to check if they’re still under warranty or consider getting in touch with Skullcandy support.

no prob, glad to help!

​@@hifiaudios8101Yo you replied

To fix your Skullcandy earbud that's just blinking blue, try resetting the earbuds. Place both earbuds in the charging case, ensure they're charging, then remove them. Press and hold the buttons on both earbuds for 5-10 seconds until the LEDs blink and turn off. Place them back in the case, then remove them, and they should automatically reconnect. If this doesn't work, refer to your user manual for specific reset instructions or contact Skullcandy support.

@@hifiaudios8101 omg thank you the video solution didn't work for me but your reply did 😁

That's frustrating, isn't it? It could be a connection issue or a defect in the earbud itself. Try resetting your earbuds, and make sure they're charged. If this continues, it might be worth reaching out to Skullcandy's customer service for assistance or possible replacement.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Sometimes, a quick reset or re-pairing can fix the issue. But if it's still not working, it'd be best to contact Skullcandy customer service or return them to the store as it might be a defective piece.

Have you tried resetting them? Sometimes it's just a simple fix like that. Also, make sure they're fully charged. If none of that helps, maybe it’s a warranty issue?

I aint gonna lie…I gave up and just put them in the case and left them, then later on i opened them and they worked so maybe it was just dead smh I am terribly sorry for wasting your time and thank you for helping. @hifiaudios8101

I totally feel your frustration! This can be super annoying. Did you try resetting the earbuds or checking if there's an update for them? If nothing seems to help, Skullcandy's customer service may be the way to go. They can guide you through more detailed troubleshooting steps or help you with a replacement if needed. Don't give up just yet!

You're welcome 😊

Try resetting your earbuds first. Usually, you need to put them back in the case, take them out, and press some buttons. If that doesn't help, make sure they're both charged and not paired with another device.

Hey! That's super annoying when one earbud connects and the other one just bails, right? 😤 Might be a syncing issue. Try resetting them, usually helps them get back in sync. If that doesn't fix it, could be something else going on. Check out Skullcandy's support page, they've got some good tips there. Hope it works out! 🎧👍

Totally get the frustration when one side just gives up on you. Sony's got some solid options, so hopefully, you'll have a better experience with them. Fingers crossed your new buds keep both ears happy

Haha, thanks for the love!

** i will say i can appreciate your replies to everyone in the comments, i hope you are legit and thats not autogen'd replies to everyone.. i mean, i didnt read any but i see your 1 reply to every other comment.. but.. listen... understand that while yeah those general steps to do will work for a lot of people who dont know why theres some textbook paper folded up with their new electronics.. so, gg thats an easy +1 for you for each of em... but man.. it kills me to see the ending being all about some "well, if you havent fixed it yet, you aint gonna fix it at all so call in some 3rd party tech support who also has no idea what he's to do, but is paid to use his access to some KB article giving him the 2 steps to fix things.. (if only they did both steps and didnt hfas their 1 job 99% of their visits while calling it "job security") Anyway... if your videos consist of things like this for all the devoces you cover, well, i understand your demographic and will move onto more technical answers from other youtubers.... However... im not at all convinced about this channel considering debris(də-brē) being pronounced phonetically "deb-ris" ...eh... what year is it? And what readerbot did you use, that you should update or replace? If you legit mispronounced and didnt check your upload beforehand, consult any english speaker from elementary school and up for proper pronounciation. Lastly... a Cotton Swab/Q-tip is definitely not a Toothpick... both bad ideas anyway.. 91% pure isopropyl rubbing alcohol + a soft to medium bristle toothbrush will exceed your expectations if the Qooth-pic has been your only go-to. Okay, ive killed enough time typing this, now... onto finding real answersssssss weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Lol, you got me good with that "debris" part! 😂 My bad. And yeah, not all methods work for everyone. Appreciate the detailed feedback and the isopropyl tip.

You might have to try it a couple times, it took me a couple tries for it to work

Maybe try cleaning the charging port? Sometimes dirt gets in the way.

Argh, losing the case is the worst! 😬 Skullcandy's can be tricky. Have you try to reset or clean them? If that don’t help, maybe Skullcandy support can give some advice. Good luck getting them to work, or finding your AirPods case!

Ugh, that’s frustrating! 😤 Did you try a reset or checking if there’s any lint in the earbud? If that don’t work, maybe reach out to Skullcandy’s support? They might be able to help or replace it if it’s under warranty. Hope it gets fixed soon!

I feel your frustration! It's definitely disappointing when tech doesn't work as it should. Maybe consider trying a different brand next time? If you need recommendations, plenty of folks here might have some good suggestions.

Oh no! 🙁 Mine are working fine. Maybe you got a defective one. Have you tried contacting customer service?

t seems like a connection issue. Try resetting your earbuds to their factory settings. Also, check for any software updates from Skullcandy. If that doesn't help, it might be a hardware problem, so consider reaching out to Skullcandy customer support. Good luck!

Oh man, that's a bummer about your earbuds! 😅 Giving them to your cats, though, that's one way to make the best out of a bad situation. Totally get why you're frustrated. These things ain't cheap, and you expect them to work right. Maybe reach out to Skullcandy? They might help out with a refund or replacement. Worth a shot! Hope it gets better from here, dude

I'm sorry to hear you're having a bad experience with your earbuds. It can be really frustrating when technology doesn't work as expected. If you haven't already, it might be worth reaching out to Skullcandy's customer service for help or a possible replacement.

@@hifiaudios8101 it’s too late. I’ve broke one of the buds in anger.
