I was out at best buy today and purchased a set of Sony MDR-V600 headphones for abotu $100. I figured I'm moving out soon and the neighbors to my apartment aren't going to always like my home theater setup Anyway I was just sitting here listening to them and got about 3 swift pops to my left ear. I was surprised at first but then I figured it out. They are randomely shocking me! I've never had a static problem in my bedroom really before either....... Shoulda' got some grados or sennheisers I guess......
