I have a carbon fiber behind the head setup with a coil cord. The damn plug at the headset always hits my right shoulder when turning my head. Most of the time it moves the headset just enough no to be centered on my ear. I guess its not that big of a deal but its just annoying.

Is there any adapters out there or can i open up the headset and relocate the plug?

Am i the only one with this problem? Maybe my dumbo ears just hang down lower than most?

I also have the behind head kind and they do rub on my shoulder but not to much maybe because I have my cables dropped down from the roof . But yes maybe a some kind of angled adapter might help.

I had those before and had the same issue, I added a small clip to hold the cord to my harness and gave it a little slack and it solved this. good luck. Chad.

I've heard of this problem before. We're trying to come up with a solution but can't figure out what the best solution would be. There is no adapter that would relocate the plug but we are going to be working on building a little right angle 5 pin adapter that would steer the cord away from your shoulders. I'll keep you posted on our progress.

That's awesome! A 90 degree plug would be perfect:D
