Don’t you find that the sound of your footsteps create a ‘whomp whomp’ sound as you walk which is transmitted and amplified when wearing headphones? I notice it especially when wearing my AirPod Pros when I create a proper seal. It’s better if I loosen them slightly but then the sound isn’t as good. I tried my Yamaha YHL700A which were a lot better, particularly with ANC on, but I still felt I could notice it when walking in hard surfaces. I can turn up the music to compensate but partly I love these Yamahas because of their full sound at low vol.

I’m not stomping about or anything so just wondering if it’s just me or not because I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone mention it before.

It's something I noticed going from the AirPods to the AirPods pro and I hated it at first, but I never think about it anymore so I guess most people just get used to it.

Certainly not, but I use IEMs for walking
