No. I received my unit today from Amazon with manufacturing date November 2013. The unit also dropped the sub-woofer unit after first use. The unit connected for 1 minute and now it's not even pairing with the bar unit. To be honest the bar seemed used or returned item from some other customer because I can see scratches if I hold a light at a right angle. Sound is great though so order a replacement. If same issue I will return.

Hello,I'm interested in purchasing this Pioneer soundbar; as of February 1st, is Amazon shipping units with the corrected, fully functioning Bluetooth? I'm afraid to make the purchase, and then find it's an older unit. Thanks.

Yes. I spoke to Pioneer and they said as of Oct 15th all Soundbars being shipped from Amazon have the new fully functioning bluetooth. All defective units have been returned to Pioneer.

I purchased this unit late December from Amazon, with the unit having a Manufacturing date of October 2013 stamped on the back. The unit's bluethooth feature did not function correctly, so back to Amazon it has gone, with replacement unit on its way. Noticed today, January 3, 2014, Amazon has placed a hold on all further sales of the unit from Amazon, however, they will allow the unit to be purchased from marketplace providers.Will say the sound bar sounds great! I paid $296, caught a daily special, so I'm hoping for a functional replacement.

I was sent a replacement from Pioneer. I assume all units shipping from Pioneer have been fixed. Other retailers may have older units and they may not be able to tell if they are fixed or not.

I received this speaker bar, yesterday, and found it to be defective. It has a December 2013 manufacture date. Only the volume control and power button will work on the remote. The color of the light will change when switching modes on the bar, but there is no change in sound. Also, though the lights indicate that the bar and subwoofer are synced, there is no sound from the sub.

I just received my sound bar last week, and the Blue Tooth has failed, so Pioneer is lying.

Yes, when the Bluetooth works, but these are terrible speakers, get the insignia Bluetooth speakers, they work.

I sure do. It is not detectable by any of my bluetooth devices. Called Toshiba and they will not support this device and told me to return the device all together and they would credit me so I could buy another. Not the best customer service I have ever encountered. I really do like the soundbar and decided just to deal with it but what a freakin bummer. I use the Aux cord instead.

I've only used the Bluetooth with my phone which works fine. I don't know if it would work with the sound bar. Try contacting the company.

I currently have two iLive sound bars - the most recent is the ITP 280B. Had it for a month and used it a couple of times - so far so good.

You are out of luck. I tried mightily, but got nothing but the runaround from the company. They claim they don't have any extras, but said they would contact me about getting me some sort of replacement or even a new sound bar. That's when they stopped contacting me. They have provided completely unacceptable customer service.

No, sadly there is no Bluetooth support on this model. Of course, as soon as I bought this boombox TDK came out with three newer models which do! Look those up.

It did not work. But then the push buttons on bar did not work either. The sound bar went into the trash. :-(

It's v3.0. Anything after 2.1 EDR has no difference in audio quality when comparing Bluetooth versions though.

Yea there is, see http://www.ram-e-shop.com/ds/general/Bluetooth_TRx_Module_New.pdf or just look got the spec number on the module and Google it followed by ".pdf "

I am not really sure, I got mine for $49.99 on a lightening deal so I wasn't too worried about features of a new version. The box came with headphones, the audio cable, storage bag, and a microfiber cleaning cloth. If I had to pay full price for these, I would probably opt for a blue tooth capable version.

I took 26 days for mine to get here. I ordered it on July 2nd and I just got it yesterday the 28th. It sounds good and feels comfortable, but after pairing it with my bluetooth dongle on my PC it won't work because it can't find any drivers for it.

Nope, they haven't. I just got this a couple of days back and it is a huge disappointment. I can't hear and have to use the speaker and neither can they hear me! The buttons have to be pressed really hard. I just realized the phone isn't smart anymore :(

Yes. Call them if something is wrong with the headphones. Ship it to them. It will take a couple months for skullcandy to get them back to you.

I can sell you the whole pack if you like. Unfortunately someone broke my Bluetooth and I haven't reordered one, so kind of pointless to have them lol.

They work with any Bluetooth enabled device, but the sound isn't good. I can barely hear anything
