When I turn on the headphones, the red and blue LEDs blink. Does this mean the headset is trashed, or is there anything I can do to fix them?

I find that you have to hold the button a loooonnnnggggg time to get these phones turned on or off. I have accidentally dialed the phone way too many times. Just hold the button and be patient. As the others said, the bluetooth is "pairing." The flashing should stop after that is finished.

If both red and blue lights are blinking, it means it is looking for bluetooth connection, go to the other device and pair it up with the headphone. after pairing is complete, only blue light will blink and you can begin listening

If the red and blue lights are alternating when they blink, it more than likely means they're putting out their signal for whatever blue tooth device you wish to use (i.e. ipod/mp3 player, laptop, etc..) to connect to. Once you use your blue tooth device to connect with the headphones, the blinking should stop very shortly after the connection.

Hello SB-Rider, The alternating red-blue light is in pairing mode (or the cops want to talk). The manual says press and hold for three seconds to turn on or off. Personally I had been holding till it beeped at me. I found the paper user manual hard to look at. But the downloadable PDF file is easier to look at you can find that on the arctic sound web page. P311 User Manual - http://www.arctic.ac/us_en/downloads/dl/file/id/587/p311_spec_sheet_english.pdf The product page address's is : http://www.arctic.ac/us_en/products/mobile-accessories/headphones/p311.html In the way of spare parts I saw replacement foam pads for a couple of bucks. I thought I might pick up a couple of replacement sets incase these last a couple of years. Hit the helpful button if this did you any good. I need all the help I can get.

It does sound like a battery problem. Make sure you have the charger plug pushed into headset completely when charging.

There are 2 possibilities I know of - the cable might be defective (I had that problem with 2 headphones), or it might just be the very dark tuning that's the design of this headphone.

Have you tried using your headset, after you unplugged it? Because it doesn't take days to charge it? If its not working then your head phonesare dead. Because my headset did the same thing.

Unplug the red wire and see if it works. Overall, these are junk headphones and I'd try to get my money back if I were you.

Yes, the right side speaker has stopped working on my Skullcandy headphones. Was/is there a recall of any sort on them?

Hi, I plugged mine into the USB PORT for power and into the OUTPUT PORT for headphones/speakers and turned them up! That's all. Check to be sure you have the right port for headphones. My Mac laptop has two similar ports, one for input and one for output. The output has a headphone icon. You shouldn't have to do anything else. You can test your output to see if it's the port or the speakers by trying a pair of earbuds or headphones in the port instead. Is there sound? If yes, then it's not the port! Be sure they're plugged into the USB port too. That's about all I can tell you. I sure hope they work! Mine are nice little speakers and when I need to I use them on my Mac because it doesn't have very loud speakers.

Hi, Veronica. First you should probably check to see if they headphone jack is inserted completely. However, from what you just described, it could be possible that they are either broke or it is a manufacturing issue, because the pair I had also had the same issue after a few months.

Hi, I hope you have better luck with these than I did. At first, they played great but then one ear stopped working and the other followed. It would be a few seconds of working then off again they would go. I know this doesn't help you much. I hope you get them working. Mine were returned to amazon within 30 days. Cheers!

Hold the power button on the headset for about 4-5 seconds until it blinks blue and red. Then try and sync it

My headphone never worked right out of the box. I have to say that I opened the wrapping after 1 year I purchased it. So I did not even have the warrantee covering anymore and even if it was brand new Plantronics did not do anything about. I will not buy anything from them. If you do good luck!

Unfortunately mate, the headphones did not work at all !!! Sorry to say but I have not been able to use them at all.

Mine is totally fine. Normally, inside the electronics, the sound processors decode the audio before sending them to the speakers. And these signals are pretty well synchronized. I think the audio track you tested might have louder sound on the right? Worse, you might have to go to a doctor to get your left ear checked.

Hi Jenna, While I don't find the sound quality very good the ways I've gotten sound are like this. If I am on my computer (windows laptop) I activate the "Pixpo Viewer" software. Usually I have my headset plugged in and it automatically will let me hear the monitor. I'm not sure however if it is reading the plug for the headphones and turning on the sound or if the sound is just always on. On my phone (iphone 4S) I open the app and when I have the picture I touch the outside of the screen, which then shows some icons around the border. Along the bottom is an speaker icon. If you touch that it turns on the sound. In order to broadcast (talk) through the monitor press and hold the microphone icon. The software is not at all user friendly, and help is pretty much non-existent. I would not buy this product again as it is not at all simple to set up or figure out how to use. There is a blue light on the camera that sometimes blinks continuously and sometimes doesn't blink at all and I have yet to figure that out or how to get it to send my a msg when it detects sound or movement. Hope this helps -

Be sure that the headphone really is plugged in all the way. Athough I purchased the Ubuntu version, the hardware is identical. I noticed that it requires a bit more force to plug in the headphone than I expected, so the first couple of times, I got no audio, because I wan't really plugged in. If you still get no audio, that may be a product defect. In that case, contact Amazon or ASUS for exchange or warranty.

Swap/verify headphones, check all things and visually inspect anything you can including wiring or soldering or anything that would look out of place or worse, missing. Then make sure all levels are turned up. None of that works yours is broke.

I think it is broken. Mine works on both sides. BUT this is my second set of these headphones, the first pair broke in exactly the way you are describing - left ear piece stopped working. It must be an issue with this model. I had the old ones for years though before that happened.
