Thanks, I wasn’t familiar with that technical term.

I just put on my Echo Buds and started walking. If I’m understanding microphonics correctly, it means a rustling electrical sound when there’s mechanical vibration. This does not happen with my Echo Buds.

However, I do hear the thud of my footsteps. I’ve accepted that this happens with any in ear headphones. Not sure if there are any IEMs out there that don’t have the footstep problem.

The thuds annoy me a lot, but I found that in the Bose QC30 (which I still use), the Sony WF1000XM3, and the AirPods Pro (which I've tried), it somehow seems less obvious.
