3 Things You Didn’t Know About Listening To Music

Whether it is jamming with the crowd at a concert, belting out the high notes at a karaoke session with friends, or just humming along to a childhood favourite, music is about us, and how we make sense of the world we live in.

 

Here are 3 interesting things you might not have known about our constant companion – read on to find out more!

 

1. Listening to music at work actually improves productivity

How often have we heard the excuse that music is distracting us from our work? Recent research seems to indicate that we are guilty of pushing the blame as listening to music while working has been credited with positive mood change and enhanced perception, as well as  improving the learning curve.

 

Not convinced?

 

Try it out in the workplace next time with BeoPlay H3 ANC, an Active Noise Cancellation in-ear headphone that features a perfectly tuned balance between sound and noise. Experience a precise and powerful symphony even in noisy environments, without having to crank up the volume, and without the Active Noise Cancellation interfering with the fidelity of the sound.

 

2. The type of music you listen to matters.

 

The Mozart Effect proposes that listening to certain kinds of music impacts and boosts one’s spatial-temporal reasoning. Similarly, it has also been suggested that particular music genres are more suitable for engaging in work more effectively.

 

Take for instance, the soundtracks of video games, which are designed to provide a stimulating background that helps the user to focus on the task at hand. Instrumental music has also demonstrated an ability to sharpen mental acuity.

 

With the mechanisms of music down-pat, BeoPlay H7 takes centre stage as the instrument of choice. Delivering the acclaimed Bang & Olufsen Signature Sound, BeoPlay H7 is designed for music lovers who are looking for an impeccable wireless sound. Complemented by an intuitive aluminium touch interface, users can also easily control their music of choice with a few simple gestures.

 

3. Music relieves stress

 

A no brainer, but here are the scientifics of it: when you listen to music a part of your brain called the nucleus accumbens activates. This triggers the release of the ‘pleasure chemical’ known as dopamine, which brings about strong feelings of happiness and pleasure.

 

Tl;dr? (Too long, didn’t read?) Music makes you happy. Really happy.

 

But nothing is more horrifying than bringing out your earphones and seeing the red warning flash of a dead battery. And so, when life throws lemons at you, you turn to your BeoPlay H7 Headphones and wave those lemons right back.

 

Featuring efficient battery technology, BeoPlay H7 headphones boast an impressive 20 hours of wireless playtime. For the absent minded, the intelligent battery saving function of the headphones also automatically kicks in after 15 minutes. There you have it – the industry’s biggest and most well-kept secret – welcome aboard.

 

Now that you are sworn to secrecy, promise us you won’t let anyone know except your family, friends and colleagues. Oh, and of course not forgetting the hawker uncle who cooks your favourite char kway teow every weekend; Cooking along to music blasting out of BeoPlay headphones? We couldn’t think of anything sassier.

 

As much as we like to share our favourite music with the rest of the world, surprisingly, not everyone is as keen as we are (boo!). So before we dominate the world with our music, continue plugging into those BeoPlay headphones and play in the beat of your own tune!
