It might just be me, but when I listen to music, I get super distracted and start staring at the ceiling. When I don’t listen to music, I have nothing to listen to, so I can focus on my studies.
P.S. It seems like a few of you don’t understand what an opinion is. YES, listening to music while studying can be effective for others, but it isn’t always true.

Depends on the music. Anything with vocals is a no go during studying/working. Chillstep is my go to “let’s get shit done” music.
It might not be effective, but it helps you stay interested longer and it makes you have a better overall time. If you enjoy studying because you listen to music, then I’d call that really damn effective.
When it’s straight up learning it can be distracting but I like it when I’m doing essays or research.
People overestimate their ability to multitask.
