It took me a while to learn that "microphonics" and what I like to call "shadowing" - that is, the lamentable aubibility of each and every footstep while using in-ear monitors - were two different phenomena.
Therefore, I must ask each of you: do ALL IEMs, regardless of price and brand, suffer from the terrible footstep syndrome?
I currently have Etymotic ER6i's, but want to switch over because whenever I use them to go walking, my footsteps disturb the music. Do the Shure E4Cs suffer from this too?
Maybe different tips would make a difference? New shoes? Ballet classes?
I use foamies. I realize these are probably prone to the footstep syndrome; but then, they sound so much better to me than triflanges...what is a man to do?
What brands, if any, fit in the ear in such a way as to silence all "shadowing" (the footstep syndrome)?
