What happened?!? I plugged my M-Audio ear-buds into my sony STR-945 a/v receiver and was listening to music streaming from my 360. All of a sudden it shocked me! Both ears and it was quite intense. Anyone ever hear of that happening? It actually hurt quite a bit. The insides of my ear canals are apparently sensitive.

It shocked you? Like in a electric shock?

I've gotten static shocked by my vmoda ear buds running off my iPhone several times, but it happened more during the winter when I was wearing sweaters and hats. So I'm not sure it had anything to do with the iPhone itself.

It won't take much actual power to hurt your ears, the static shocks were enough of a deterrent that I stopped wearing them altogether.

Were you sitting on a rug? Wearing a sweater or anything else that might have built up static electricity?

Yeah I use to get stocked when I used my V-Moda Vibe. Damn those were horrible IEMs. I got caught up in one of those FOTM things and thought they were better than they actually are. After not using them for about a year I gave them to a co-worker for his daughter to use. She likes them so good for her.

My V-Moda Vibes shock my ears sometimes also.

Can't wait to be able to afford them. I dont actually use them that much, i prefer the CX400-II.

Got a terrible shock once when my ipod was in the pocket of my fleece jacket. Don't remember what phones I had on, though. I avoid using the pocket now.

Wool and fleece are hell for iems. My wife and I do not wear iems inside for anything in the winter. No, we put our frozen iems in our ears once we reach the great smogdoors.
