Steps
Charge both earbuds in the case for about two hours before the first pairing. A flat battery stops the earbuds from entering pairing mode.
Turn on your PC and open Settings, then go to Bluetooth and devices. Switch Bluetooth on and leave the window open.
Take both earbuds out of the charging case. On first use they power on and drop straight into pairing mode, with the light flashing red and blue.
Click Add device, then choose Bluetooth in the list of device types. Windows starts searching for nearby devices.
Wait for Skullcandy Push Play Active to appear in the list and click it. Keep the earbuds within a metre of the PC while it connects.
Wait for the message saying the device is ready, then click Done. Windows usually sets the earbuds as the audio output automatically.
Click the speaker icon in the taskbar and pick Skullcandy Push Play Active as the output device if the sound still comes from your speakers.
Play a song or a short video to test the connection. If you hear nothing, remove the device in Settings and pair it again.
Tips and common mistakes
If the earbuds do not show up, press and hold the button on each earbud until the light flashes red and blue to force pairing mode.
Turn off Bluetooth on your phone during pairing, as the earbuds may connect to the phone first.
Desktop PCs often have no built-in Bluetooth, so plug in a cheap USB Bluetooth adapter before you start.
After the first pairing, the earbuds reconnect on their own when you take them out of the case with the PC nearby.
Questions
Why can't my Windows PC find the earbuds?
The earbuds are probably still connected to your phone or not in pairing mode. Turn off phone Bluetooth, put the earbuds back in the case, then take them out again and let Windows search once more.
Do I have to pair them again every time?
No. Once paired, they reconnect automatically when you take them out of the case with Bluetooth on and the PC in range. You can also click Connect next to the device in Settings.
Can I use the earbuds as a microphone on my PC?
Yes. Windows lists them as both an output and an input device. Pick them as the microphone in Settings, Sound, Input if calls or voice chat do not pick them up.
