Apple has listed a topic in its support pages claiming that the iPod or iPhone earbuds can give a quick shock to one’s ears by discharging small amount of static electricity. Though Apple does not take the responsibility for such a shock, they do mention that any hardware or earbud is capable to produce a charge which is similar to “dragging your feet across a carpet and receiving a static shock by touching a door knob.”
The dry air is to be blamed that builds up on the device eventually releasing it through the earbuds. To avoid such shocks, Apple has also listed some solutions which you can find it here.
