Got a nice new pair of Creative EP-610 earbuds. Nothing fancy, but nice. Nice, that is, until I moved.
I rolled my chair on the (carpeted) floor and ZAP! — static shocks from the earbuds into my ears. Sizzle sizzle ZAP!
File under double-plus-ungood. (Although the sound is very nice, especially for $25 ’buds.)

Andrew, The picture says it all. You bought ear buds “Designed for Dell”, the built-in detector found your homemade box and is reacting.

This is quite funny! (I feel for ya, really I do!) ..I use the creatives as well, a great set of economically priced ear phones – never had this happen though!

You didn’t get the anti-electroshock feature? Well, some people pay good money for electoshock thearpy, so enjoy it and try not to drool too much on the keyboard.
