Has anyone purchased this recently (posted April 2014) and seen if they fixed the polarity issue on the Bluetooth USB connector in newer boxes?

I was unable to get my bluetooth working with this adapter and thought it was something I did wrong. I bought it fall of 2013

I just received this wireless card today, (September 2014), and I can confirm that the usb polarity was correctly labeled on the device I received. I actually tried installing it backwards first due to recommendations here on amazon, but it would only work for me when I installed it in in the orientation suggested in the manual. So I would recommend trying it the manufacturer suggested way first; that would have saved me time.

I think they were all manufactured in one swoop. I got one semi-recently and it had the little insert saying OMG FLIP THE CONNECTOR. I think that's how you'll know which one you got.

Amazon replaced mine and I got the right angle connect plug. Sounds like its hit or miss with amazon and angled plug... and they currently are not available directly as these are under review. Requested a replacement on dec. 24th and got the new set dec. 27th..hope this helps....Joe

No I have never had that issue I put it in my pocket while im in the gym or honestly my ipod holder broke so I put it in my gym bag and walk around with it and it still works ...I will say get the newest version I had the old one and after 3 months it died but I wrote the company an email and they took care of it and send me the new headset and no complaints so far...

I have never had that problem yet so can't really say. Have you tried different headphones with the same issue? If the other headphones work then it would the connector on you the headphone that doesn't that is the problem, probably a loose wire connection. I use mines with several different headphones and have yet to have an issue with it. And I do use it at least a couple of hours every day.

Hi James. I need to know what problem you're having with it to know if it has been improved. I'm very happy with the one I have. I can't believe how long the batteries last and except for the occasional signal drop out they work fine for me. I think the signal drop out problem I'm having could be related to the volume setting on my phone

I have two and they're both loose at the port connection point. I believe they were designed that way, to make it easier to plug in the awkward USB 3.0 connector (a terrible design, I might add). I found that having them move didn't help - once I got them lined up, the plug would wiggle and I'd have to start over again. After breaking two port covers on my S5 (from being bent back too many times in the dock) I finally gave up on the EZO and now I just plug in the phone and lay it on a table to charge or transfer data.

When mine was new it worked. I believe the blue tooth has failed within the speaker system as I have other speaker systems that operate just fine from my laptop. The only way the Sykik now works is hard wired. :(

I believe I have found the answer. I suspected it was the weirdo USB cable it shipped with. I bought a new one, and it charges just fine. It's annoying that it uses a non-standard USB connector. My headphones are just fine now. Currently, i've positioned my charging cable so that it never really twists and turns, which is what I think caused the original problem. I think the internals of the cable just aren't very good.

I have not known any USB connection to be one directional. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software. In most cases that is a software issue. Not a hardware issue. But at any rate, the coat of the cable here compaired to picking one up at a local store. This one is much cheaper.

I haven't had thet problem. Once, I had to have the tv "rediscover" my headphones but I've had them now for a while and except for that one incident no problem. It take about 5 - 10 seconds for the bluetooth connection but it always seems to connect.

Just checked and mine is no longer working either. I have them connected via cables to my pc so it's been a while since I used the bluetooth feature. Talk about disappointing. I can no longer recommend this company. I'm also having problems with my udac-2 which is luckily still under warranty.

I have not had a problem with mine yet...It has worked fine since I purchased it a few months ago.

Mine was purchased as a gift so haven't had experience with the new version. Sounds like a defective unit. Don't think they are consumer fixable.

The USB port on my stereo hasn't worked properly from the beginning. With the Bluetooth I can answer yes! Also with the aux port it will too.

My experience is that the usb port is so fragile that using the headset in this fashion will eventually result in the fragile port breaking. At first, the thing will still charge with some manipulation of the usb cord. Eventually, it will not work at all. I'm actually interested if the workmanship of this thing has changed in a year.

I got same problem as your.Ordered a bluetooth one from Amazon Warehouse and received a wired version instead.It's seam Amazon still not fix this mistake.

I got the same thing. Right on the box there is a picture of the Right Angle connector, says it's included. I was actually excited to have the right angle connector but unfortunately only found the straight connector when I opened the box. This is not acceptable, I may be returning or at least exchanging these earbuds.
