Can Cubers Focus Better When Listening to Music While Cubing? (Experiment)

[AhsanDaCuber125]

I've heard from people that they like to listen to music when cubing, and some say it helps them focus better. I made this thread so people can share their info if they tried it out.
So just go to Spotify or something, pick a song, and start cubing.

I struggle to cube without it because there’s lots of noise around me, but I can’t listen to regular music because it’s also distracting. I typically listen to instrumentals, but sometimes even those are distracting. It’s tough for me to get in the zone with practicing. I could never listen to a podcast and still solve at full capacity.

Music that I am not familiar with gets me the best results, especially stuff that I can zone out. I’d bet I would get similar effects with noise cancelling headphones, but I do not have them, so I can’t test that.

I did a ao12 solving session, and I seemed to remember algs easier when the cases came.
I feel like music helps me focus more.

Lately I've been cubing without music but I just do short averages

If I have to do some avg100 I'll definitely listen to my Spotify playlists

I wanted to get my Spotify wrapped numbers up, so I listen to music A LOT. Probably close to 14 hours a day. I usually listen to MF DOOM or Wu-Tang Clan while cubing

I don't usually hear music while cubing, but I pay some videos in the background, so I can listen to them while cubing. It helps me concentrate.

I personally listen to podcasts, and that helps me concentrate

I did 75 solves total with 4 different puzzles (3x3, skewb, pyra, mega) while drinking a cup of black coffee with no sugar and listening to japanese podcasts and I found that my focus was better than listening to music

listening to music can have inconsistent results sometimes because music affects your emotional in different ways

So did a bunch of solves today when listening to music. Like I said before, it was easier to recognize cases and solve faster. When I started to solve without music, it was hard for me to recognize the algs and the cases that were coming.
