PUSH 720 OPEN USER GUIDE, TROUBLESHOOTING, & FAQS
INITIAL SET UP & PAIRING HELP:
Quick Start Version: (When Powering ON your earbuds for the first time)
Take your new earbuds out of the charging pouch and remove the protective stickers from each charging point.
- Place earbuds back in the charging pouch until the LEDs turn white. Remove them from the pouch again.
- Open Bluetooth settings on your device. Select “PUSH 720 Open” from the list of available devices.
- Accept any PAIR or OK prompts. Your earbuds will connect to your device. They are now ready to use.
Multipoint Pairing: (Connecting to a 2nd device after initial pairing)
This feature makes it possible to pair your earbuds with two devices at once. The connection is managed automatically — you won’t need to do anything after pairing the second device.
For example — while watching YouTube videos on your laptop, you can take a call on your phone without the hassle of disconnecting from one device to pair with another.
To utilize Multipoint Pairing and pair to a second device while already connected to one:
- Press and hold either earbud for 3 seconds.
- This will put both earbuds into Pairing Mode.
The voice prompt will say “pairing”, and:
- Both earbuds will pulse blue.
- Select “PUSH 720 OPEN” from the available Bluetooth device list.
- Accept the pairing prompt on your screen.
Once paired to the second device:
- You can seamlessly stream from either device as needed.
Going forward:
- Each time you power on the earbuds, they will automatically pair to the two most recently paired devices.
Streaming Audio with Multipoint:
Powering Off and ON:
Streaming Audio + Phone Calls + Prompt Tones with Multipoint:
- What happens if I’m currently on an active call and the second device gets an incoming call?
- The user will always need to end the first active call before the second can be answered.
- You will not be able to have two active calls going at the same time.
- Important to note, if you are currently on an active call when the second device gets an incoming call, it can only be received by the device controls)
- If there are no active calls (and not streaming audio) on either device, the first call incoming or outgoing on either device will take priority. (Important to note in this scenario, incoming calls will need to be received by the earbuds (left or right) button controls 1x press MFB)
If you’d prefer to only pair to one device at a time, you can go into the Skullcandy App and turn OFF Multipoint Pairing.

Skullcandy App SMART FEATURE TECHNOLOGY
To unlock your earbuds’ Skullcandy App features, scan the QR code in your Quick Start Guide to download the Skullcandy App.
Once you’ve paired your earbuds to your device, open the Skullcandy App and it will automatically link.
The app allows you to customize your button functions, select preset or custom EQ Modes, access user guides, and update new features when they become available.
CLEAR VOICE SMART MIC
PUSH 720 OPEN is equipped with Clear Voice Smart Mic. It uses artificial intelligence to isolate the speaker’s voice and reduce background noise.
Clear Voice Smart Mic is especially effective at eliminating discontinuous noise — the kind of background chatter you’d find in a crowded coffee shop or airport.
CUSTOMIZE BUTTON FUNCTIONS
You can personalize your earbuds through the Skullcandy App by customizing your controls.
Some default and unassigned button settings can be reconfigured through the Skullcandy App using the earbud’s Main Function Button (MFB).
Here are the custom button functions that you can configure to your preferred control settings.
On both buds the following actions can be configured:
- Single tap (1x)
- Double tap (2x)
- Triple tap (3x)
- Press and hold (1s)
These function controls can be customized in the Skullcandy App:
- Track forward
- Track back
- Volume up
- Volume down
- Activate assistant
- Spotify Tap
- Take Photo
- Play/pause/answer call
TAKE A PHOTO
The Take Photo feature allows your earbuds to act as a wireless remote for your device’s camera.
You can control this by assigning the Take Photo feature to a custom button in the Skullcandy App , which will then open your device’s camera.
As long as your earbuds are linked with the device and app, your custom button setting will take a picture or start and stop recording on command.
For best results, set the timer in your camera’s settings so you have a few seconds delay before snapping a pic. This gives you time to nail the perfect shot of your kick flip.
PRESET EQ + CUSTOM 5-BAND EQ
To help you get the best sound quality from your content, your earbuds also feature preset EQ Modes for music, podcasts, and movies - as well as a 5-band Customizable EQ Mode.
The four modes are:
- Music Mode
- Podcast Mode
- Bass Boost Mode
- Custom EQ Mode
Your default EQ setting is “Music Mode,” which is great for general listening.
Podcast Mode removes most of the bass response. It’s great for podcasts or audio books.
Bass Boost Mode amplifies low frequencies for deeper, more powerful bass response.
Custom EQ Mode allows users to manually adjust audio settings for a personalized listening experience.
To switch between EQ Modes, go into the Skullcandy App and select your preferred audio setting or tap either earbud 4 times.
A voice prompt will notify you each time your EQ mode changes.
ADD NEW FEATURES AND UPGRADES AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE THROUGH THE Skullcandy App
Instead of buying new earbuds for the latest features, your Skullcandy App-enabled earbuds allow you to add new features as they’re developed.
Over time, we’ll continue to add new features—including expanded user customization all delivered through firmware updates via the Skullcandy App.
It is very important to always be sure your earbuds are updated to the latest firmware release to ensure the best performance and user experience, so please don’t forget to take this time to improve your product with the most up-to-date upgrades and features.
HOW IT WORKS:
Occasionally, you’ll receive notifications through the Skullcandy App that your product is ready for a firmware update.
FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) updates will be prompted on the home page of your linked product, and you will simply press the “Update” button for more detailed information before getting started with your upgrade.
After reviewing the firmware improvements and or feature upgrades, swipe forward and get ready to begin your update. This will take about 5-10 minutes, and please note that both earbuds will need to have a battery capacity over 25% to begin. Once you’ve pressed the “Start the update” button, be sure to maintain a constant WIFI or cellular service, keep your earbuds and device powered on and close together to maintain the Bluetooth connection, and do not exit the Skullcandy App (this can update in the background, but the app must continue running).
Once the update process has finished, you will be notified that your firmware update was successfully completed.
CHARGING:
PUSH 720 OPEN is LOADED with battery life.
To charge your earbuds, place them in the charging pouch. The LEDs will pulse amber (0%-40% charging), or white (41%-90% charging) to indicate they are now charging. When they are fully charged the LEDs will show solid white (91%-100% charged).
While your earbuds power on, the Battery Report voice prompt will tell you how much battery life you have as a percentage. You can also check your earbud battery life in the Skullcandy App or from your paired device.
When your earbuds have about 30-45 minutes of play time remaining (about 15% charge), a voice prompt will notify you “battery low” every 10 minutes until they are depleted and power off.
To check the case battery life, plug the case into a power source using the included USB-C charging cable. The single LED located next to the USB-C charging port will light up and indicate the current case battery level, just like the earbuds LED sequence.
Pulsing Amber = 0%-40%
Pulsing White = 41%-90%
Solid White = 91%-100%
