Basic Operation: Playback & Volume
Controlling your audio with the Indy Evo is intuitive and straightforward. To begin playback, simply press the earbud’s button once on either side. A single press will play or pause your current track. To skip forward to the next song, utilize a double press on the right earbud. Conversely, a double press on the left earbud will rewind to the previous track.
Volume adjustment is also easily managed through the earbuds themselves. A single press of the ‘+’ button increases the volume, while a single press of the ‘-’ button decreases it. These controls allow for quick and convenient adjustments without needing to reach for your connected device. Enjoy seamless control over your listening experience with these simple, yet effective, operations.
Answering and Making Calls
The Indy Evo earbuds facilitate hands-free calling with ease. To answer an incoming call, simply press the button on either earbud once. This will immediately connect you to the caller. To reject an incoming call, hold the button down for approximately one second. This sends a rejection signal to the caller, preventing connection.
Making calls is equally simple. After activating your device’s voice assistant (see section on Voice Assistants), issue a voice command such as “Call [contact name].” The earbuds will then initiate the call through your paired device. During a call, volume can be adjusted using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons, ensuring clear communication. Enjoy convenient call management with your Indy Evo.
Activating Voice Assistants
The Indy Evo seamlessly integrates with your preferred voice assistant – Siri, Google Assistant, or Bixby. To activate the assistant, press the button on either earbud three times in quick succession. This will launch the voice assistant on your paired device, allowing for hands-free control.
Once activated, you can issue voice commands to make calls, send messages, play music, get directions, and much more. Ensure your device is connected to the internet for optimal performance. The responsiveness of the voice assistant depends on your device and network conditions. Enjoy the convenience of voice control with your Indy Evo earbuds, streamlining your daily tasks.
Advanced Features

Wireless Charging Capabilities
The Indy Evo charging case supports convenient wireless charging, offering a cable-free power-up experience. Simply place the case on a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad.
Ensure the charging pad is properly connected and functioning before placing the case. A solid LED indicator on the case confirms successful wireless charging initiation.
Wireless charging times may vary depending on the charging pad’s power output. While wireless charging is convenient, standard USB-C charging remains a reliable option.
For optimal wireless charging performance, remove any metallic objects between the case and the charging pad. This feature provides flexibility and simplifies your charging routine.
Single Earbud Mode
The Indy Evo offers seamless Single Earbud Mode, allowing you to use either the left or right earbud independently for calls, music, or podcasts.
To activate this mode, simply place one earbud back into the charging case while keeping the other in your ear. The remaining earbud will automatically connect to your device.
This feature is ideal for situations where you need to be aware of your surroundings or prefer using only one earbud for extended periods. Battery life will reflect usage of a single earbud.
Switching between earbuds is effortless – just swap them as needed. Enjoy the flexibility of mono audio with the Indy Evo’s convenient single earbud functionality.
Automatic Ear Detection
Indy Evo earbuds feature intelligent Automatic Ear Detection, enhancing your listening experience with seamless control. When you insert an earbud, audio automatically plays, and pauses when removed.
This intuitive feature eliminates the need to manually control playback, providing a hands-free and convenient experience. The earbuds utilize sensors to accurately detect when they are securely in your ear.
Automatic Ear Detection works in conjunction with the Skullcandy app, allowing for customization of sensitivity settings. Ensure optimal performance by keeping your earbuds clean and properly fitted.
Enjoy uninterrupted audio and effortless control with the Indy Evo’s smart Automatic Ear Detection technology.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Keep your Indy Evo performing optimally with regular cleaning and simple troubleshooting steps, addressing common issues and ensuring a seamless audio experience.
Cleaning Your Indy Evo
Maintaining cleanliness is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your Indy Evo earbuds. Regularly wipe down the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn grime, lightly dampen the cloth with water – avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
Pay particular attention to the ear tips, as these accumulate earwax and oils. Gently remove the ear tips and wash them with mild soap and water, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching. Inspect the earbud mesh for blockages and carefully clear any obstructions with a dry, soft-bristled brush or a toothpick.
Never insert any objects into the earbud openings that could damage the internal components. Consistent cleaning will ensure a hygienic and enjoyable listening experience.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Experiencing problems with your Indy Evo? Here’s a quick guide. If earbuds won’t pair, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the earbuds are in pairing mode. For sound issues, check the volume levels and ensure the correct sound profile is selected in the Skullcandy app.
If only one earbud connects, try resetting both earbuds. If charging isn’t working, verify the charging cable and adapter are functioning correctly. A full reset often resolves connectivity glitches. If issues persist, consult the Skullcandy support website for detailed FAQs and troubleshooting steps.
Remember to check for firmware updates within the app, as these often address known bugs and improve performance.
Resetting Your Earbuds
Need to restore your Indy Evo to factory settings? Resetting can resolve connectivity issues or unexpected behavior. First, place both earbuds inside the charging case. Ensure they are receiving a charge – a brief light indication confirms this.
Next, press and hold the button on the charging case for approximately 10 seconds. The case’s LED indicator will flash, signaling the reset process has begun. Continue holding until the light stops flashing. Remove the earbuds and re-initiate the pairing process through your device’s Bluetooth settings.
This process clears any saved connections and restores the earbuds to their original factory state, ready for a fresh setup.

The operational range of the Indy Evo is up to 33 feet (10 meters) in open-air conditions. However, the actual range can vary depending on environmental factors such as obstacles, interference from other wireless devices, and the Bluetooth capabilities of your paired device.
Maintaining a clear line of sight between the earbuds and your device generally maximizes the Bluetooth range. Walls and other obstructions can reduce the effective range.
