Type of Music

If you really want to create an atmosphere that helps stay on task, consider creating playlists that won't distract you too much yet one that won't give you anxiety. I noticed that listening to a radio-like medium helps the most. An example of this is Pandora. You create stations based on songs you like and plays similar songs, or you can choose a genre. The reason I believe this works is because it shows similar songs that you like and not the actual songs you like, therefore you are less likely to sing along. Unless you don't sing along, then any playlist you create would be great. Listening to classical music has been shown to help stay focused, but I know that some people may get sleepy after a couple of songs. I would suggest giving it a shot just in case you find out that classical music is what helps you the most.

Sound quality can be very useful when listening to music. You don't want to be able to get distracted by bad quality of some earbuds. Therefore you can always invest in a pair of quality products to create a better atmosphere. Maybe you want some noise cancelling to prevent external noise from bothering you. Or you simply want better quality. After all, listening to songs in better quality does help. If you are interested in some nice products that can help stay focused, you can trust JBL to help.
