Two questions:

1) Where's the static electricity ZAP OF DOOM?

2) Why are the coasters not in use?

I never called it a "ZAP OF DOOM"
but the BEAST layeth before thine eyes!

as for the coasters these are REAL coasters not those cheap polycarbonate ones ! They are in USE, GEEZ they help remove reflections of sound they open up the mids and give a cleaner more responsive bass!!

Oh, ok.

You might want to try gluing a couple onto the sides of the earcups, to give some more damping to the housing. Make sure they're rotated correctly so the text is the right way up when they're on your head, otherwise it'll increase resonance and reflections rather than reduce them.

Im suprised that not alot of people have experienced this, I just thought it was farily common place.

I'm a former owner of the original A900. If I was sitting perfectly still while using them, I'd be fine, but if I stood up with them on and took one step, I'd immediately get a nasty shock in the right earcup. I tried some A1000 phones for a while too and had the same problem. I've since moved on to Beyerdynamic's DT880 and never looked back.

I have the original ATH-A900s - such a pretty blue.

I haven't experienced the shock, either. My house is all hardwood floors, though, which makes a difference, even here in dry, static-prone Colorado.

I'm in Calgary too, listen to my A900's about 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, have never felt it.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

Just asking, as I want to sell my A900's. I don't want to pass this problem to someone else.
