It was both sides. I don't hear my heartbeat at all if I stick my fingers in my ears or press on my ears. I dunno what was happening but I ended up returning them.

Last night I finally bought my first pair of noise cancelling headphones - the Sony WH-1000XM3. They sound awesome and it's amazing how much sound they can block, plus I got them on sale. However, I noticed the same thing as this person though...
