FAQs

Where Can I Use Session 540 Portable Speakers?

The IP67 rating, shock resistance, great battery life, and compact size of Session 540 Party Speakers mean you never need to worry about whether they can handle your lifestyle. Snow, rain, beaches, lakes, these speakers can handle it all.

Are Session 540 Portable Speakers Waterproof?

Pretty much. As long as you're not taking them into the deep end of the pool, these speakers can handle water no problem.

Are Session 540 Portable Speakers Dustproof?

Their IP67 rating means Session 540 Party Speakers are dustproof. So go ahead and take them camping, climbing, mountain biking, or wherever.

How Can I Change EQ Presets on Session 540 Portable Speakers?

You can use the directional pad to cycle through preset EQ modes (Signature, Outdoor, Indoor). Press the Right or Left button on the directional pad 3 times (3x) to cycle through the different modes.

How Do I Link Session 540 With Other Portable Speakers?

With party mode you can link your Session 540 speaker with up to 99 other Session series speakers.

With your Session 540 powered on, you can start party mode by pressing and holding the party mode button for 1 second. Release after you hear an audio tone. You have started a party, and this is now your “HOST” speaker. The HOST speaker will start a broadcast that other Session speakers can find. Like a radio station, the HOST will only broadcast music. All other functions, like Volume and Bass boost will be controlled separately on each individual speaker.

To add a “GUEST” speaker to the party, don’t worry about disconnecting any devices. Simply press and hold the Party mode button for 3 seconds. Release once you have heard two audio tones.

You are now linked in party mode. Repeat "GUEST" steps for as many other Session speakers as needed.

How Do I Set Up Stereo Sound with Session 540 Portable Speakers?

With True Wireless Stereo, your Session speakers can create true left and right stereo sound to play full, and more immersive music.

With your Session speakers on, and connected to each other using party mode, triple tap the party mode button. You will have to perform this function for both the HOST and GUEST speakers individually.

Your speakers are now in true wireless stereo mode.

Once both speakers are in true wireless stereo mode, the HOST will act as the LEFT speaker, and the GUEST will act as the RIGHT speaker.

How Long Is the Battery Life on Session 540 Portable Speakers?

Fully charged, Session 540 Portable Speakers have about 17 hours of battery life.

How Quick Can I Charge Session 540 Portable Speakers?

Session 540 Portable Speakers' rapid charge function can give you up to 2 hours of battery in just 10 minutes of charging.

What does IP67 mean?

The IP67 rating means Session speakers are fully dustproof and can withstand being submerged in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes.

What is Battery Saver Mode?

Battery Saver Mode helps you get more playtime when you need it. It reduces bass and focuses power on mid and high frequencies to maximize battery life, temporarily disabling Bass Boost and EQ switching. With Battery Save Mode turned ON, total playtime of Session 540 increases from 17 hours up to 40 hours.
Battery Saver Mode resets to OFF each time Session 540 powers down, so you’ll always start with full-performance sound when you turn it back on.

Reviews

Item not delivered and money kept by company

"Honestly. It’s impossible to get a hold of anyone from skull candy. I genuinely love the products, was mega excited to receive this for car journeys ect. An issue with the layout of my address on delivery means item has been returned to sender but no refund so I can purchase again. £45 in skull candys pocket and no emails back, chat bot doesn’t solve my issue The link to get it resolved does nothing. I’ve tried 100 times. It’s so frustrating and disappointing I just want to receive the item I paid for. I have no idea what else to do"

Banging speaker

"What a big sound from a little speaker very clear and the bass booms and very solid and well made and the service is top notch and delivery is very quick and secure."

— Lee G. (5/5)

I am very disappointed in

"I am very disappointed in this speaker. . . First the Bass is not as strong as I thought it would be. Second the control buttons don't work very well. . . I couldn't turn the volume down with the button on the speaker. . I had to use the volume button on my phone to control it. I have returned this speaker under a warranty claim."

— Ricky T. (1/5)

Great little speaker. Due to

"Great little speaker. Due to its IP rating I have been using this while doing some DIY. It's been extremely dusty in the rooms but this speaker has been fine and you can even rinse it off if it gets too covered. Sound quality is good and it has an added bass boost feature. The Skull Candy App is a great companion to help tweak the sound to how you want it."

— Jamie G. (4/5)

Get sound love I can

"Get sound love I can hook to my bike for daily rides, great sound. I have the Session 300 and 900s as well; all 3 are great, 900 is the best one I have ever had."

— Sam p. (5/5)

"this is the best sounding portable speaker on the market! I was not expecting that crisp sound from Skullcandy."

— Mug (5/5)

This is an awesome little

"This is an awesome little speaker (though it isn’t that little) the controls actually work, it even has a microphone, the sound is very good, and the overall functionality is good! The neither here nor there for me personally is the bass, it has such crazy good bass that I don’t even have to have on Bass Mode to feel it sometimes and that is great when I want it and not fabulous when I don’t but not a problem either. Aside from that my only wish was that the batter life was displayed in settings or that it told me, cause the indicator light is the only real way I’ve found to know and that isn’t a great gage. Overall I love it. If I could give a half star I’d give it a four and a half."

— Jessica M. (4/5)

"The sound is great, the strap is very durable, and the quality is fantastic."

I like the product, but

"I like the product, but I expected more of a bass boost out of this speaker. I am having issues with turning this speaker off and I am still unsure if this speaker is turned off completely. I do want to know why the speaker is considered waterproof when the charging port is completely open with no cover on it? If this speaker was waterproof, wouldn’t the charging port for the product have to be covered and protected with a flush rubber seal?"

— Angela S. (3/5)
