I got these MEElec CC51P a couple of months ago, love the sound, no complaints at all.  However, I've noticed that when I wear them walking outside on dry days (which are most of them here in the Arizona desert), the right side - the side with the little ceramic housed mic/button - shocks the inside of my ear frequently.  I switched left and right, and the shocks followed the mic to my left ear, so I'm pretty certain it has something to do with the mic/button housing creating a little static charge that is discharged into my ear canal by the metal inside the thin silicone tip. 
 
Does anyone else have this issue with these, or with any other headphones?  It's extremely annoying...  I've tried using the shirt clip to try to minimize the rubbing of the mic against my shirt, but it still happens.  I don't know what else to do.  Wrap the mic housing in some electrical tape maybe?  Yuck...

Solder a wire from your shirt to the ground to prevent static.
