This study analyzes the relationship between digital music consumption and academic concentration among university students. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a non-experimental descriptive and correlational design. The sample consisted of 40 students from the Psychopedagogy program of the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the State Technical University of Quevedo. Data were collected through a survey using a structured questionnaire designed to identify students' digital music consumption habits and their influence on concentration during study activities. The results showed that most students listen to music while performing academic tasks, indicating that this practice is part of their study habits. Likewise, a considerable percentage of participants believe that music can help improve their concentration during academic activities. However, some students indicated that music may not influence their attention or could even cause distraction in certain learning situations.
