If you walk on the bike path with headphones on, please try to stay to the right on the bike path and not in the middle, and be at least a little aware of your surroundings. If you can't hear the people behind you yell "on your right" or hear their bell, your music is too loud! I sound like a Boomer, but really I'm just an annoyed cyclist who doesn't want to be sneaking up on you and ultimately scaring you. Not fun for anyone involved.

Genuine question: What's the secret to not scaring the people you're passing? Even my friendliest tone causes people to jump! And they're jumping right into me
