Am I the only one that gets zapped by metal earphones? [View all]

I stopped using them, unless I can't find my usual pair because they almost always zap me when I'm running on the treadmill. And I can hear the spikes when I wear them to listen to a DVD on the laptop.

I just wondered why they bother to make metal ear plugs if this is a common experience?
