I wen for a dog-walk today with my RE0's and iPod Touch 2g. The shorts I elected to wear were for my tennis match, and they came out of the dryer all staticky. As I started playing music, I slipped my iPod back into my pocket, and started hearing odd snaps and crackles as I walked. I freaked out because I thought there was something wrong with the cable, so I pulled the iPod out of my pocket and gave the stress relief and the rest of the cable on the RE0's a once over, while also noticing the symptoms had disappeared. Perplexed, I slipped it back into my pocket. Problems. Repeated the process, this time wiggling the stress relief around and still experiencing NO problems. I put it back into my pocket and tried to hold it in place... I felt the hair on my arms stand up as it neared the pocket. I thought nothing of it because they had been staticky all day. When holding the iPod firmly in my pocket, not crackling and popping, but the minute I took my hand off and away from the metal backed iPod, the crackles returned.
Could the power in my shorts (
) have caused the crackles?
