I'm come to the conclusion that it has everything in the world to do with how dry the air is in the winter. Only time this ever happens seems to be is when it's 30 or below out and air gets real dry.

Well I'm not real sure. I just know I had a set of creative earbuds that I plug into speakers and in 2 years it's never once shocked me. These new s4's seem to do it almost once a day. I do use em about 6-7hrs a day while I'm at work. I don't really hear an "electrify" sound lol.....i just feel a slight tingle like I'm being shocked. Primarily in the left ear. So who knows?

Pretty obvious not gonna find helpful info here I suppose after a response like that. Thanks for the time!

I'm expericiencing the exact same issue. It doesn't do it all the time but I'd say it gets me atleast once or twice a day. Seems to be somehting shorting out in my opinion....
