To start with, is there a metallic sort of substance touching your skin

No.

and is this a 'little' poke like a nine volt battery on the
tongue,

No, it is a bit stronger than that.

or is it more of a zap like the old winter / carpet / doorknob pet
the cat deal?

It is a zap.

If that is the case, get rid of the new seat covers, change
back to your old shoes or you risk blowing the little electronic brains
of your headset.

I agree that I am risking problems with the electronics of my headsets,
but I do not think it is me creating the charge that is zapping the
headsets.

Nothing has changed in the clothes I wear and the seats of the aircraft
are leather (no covers). My shoes were hiking boots with a rubber
treads.

Thank you for taking the time to try to debug this...
