This quantitative study involved 395 students who voluntarily participated and answered the survey questionnaire.

It is also found out that the students spend their time the most in listeninat=3g to music; loud music is the most commonly heard but they preferred Pop music. Results also revealed no significant relationship between year level and impact of listening to music to the academic performance, but significant to college and time length of listening.
