I've found it beneficial to take breaks from listening to things on my earbuds during my walks. At first you feel weird (I'd call myself a self-professed spoken word addict), but then your own thought process takes the driver's seat and it's magnificent. Another funny side effect from listening to audiobooks on my walks is that when I visit the same places again, the things I've listened to while walking there spring to mind with a very good recall. And vice versa, listening to an audiobook brings very vivid memories of places walked when listening prior to that. I'd say listening while walking is very productive.
