Use Solo Mode on the Sesh Evo Earbuds

Sesh Evo earbuds and other models from Skullcandy allow the user to use only one earbud while the other remains off. This is called Solo mode.

The feature allows the user to be more aware of their surroundings or use one earbud while the other charges.

You can activate the feature by connecting to the earbuds as you normally would and returning the earbud you do not want to use into its slot in the charging case

From here, you can continue using the remaining earbud, but you will lose controls associated with the earbud that is in the case.

To continue using both earbuds, remove the other one from the case and wait for it to pair to the powered-on earbud automatically.

Once they are powered, you will hear a tone from the buds, or audio will start coming out of both buds instead of one.

If this does not happen, restart the buds before resetting them if the problem persists.
