The post iPod world is no stranger to hand crafted playlist to help you focus. Any productivity nerd out there has a go to album, soundtrack or playlist they’ll use to get down to business. From unintrusive ambient music to lo-fi hip-hip beats we all know what will help us focus and get stuff done. But there’s one service out there that claims to have taken that to the next level: Brain.FM.

The people over at Brain.FM claim that their music can help you focus even better than your go to songs, and they got the science to back it up (sorta). In this episode Kyle & Mark try out Brain.FM themselves to see if it’s worth it. Were they more focused? Was the music even good? And is it work the price point? All of this and more in this episode of The Productivity Lab!
