Hey Chris,

I don’t know if others have emailed you about this, or if you’re experiencing this problem, but after you turn off the iPod, there is audible static from the headphones.

From what I’ve discovered from various forums, this only seems to affect the 80 GB iPod class — not the 160 GB model.

I’ve found a few was to cope with this problem:

  1. After you maually turn off your iPod, put it on hold; the static goes away.
  2. Pause your iPod before you turn it off (pause, then press and hold play/pause to turn off).
  3. After you turn off your iPod, unplug the headphones, then plug them back in.
  4. Unplug the headphones altogether! (Ugh, I know.)

Nevertheless, it’s still a very annoying problem that I hope Apple fixes very soon with a new update.
