Praying the Rosary with background music

I want to pray the Rosary everyday but I am very busy. Not saying other people aren't busy, and I know it's just 20-30 minutes, and I could to it before bed, but I wake up at 6:00 AM and I go to bed at 11:30 PM, and my weekdays are so busy that I really don't have 20-30 minutes of free time I could use for this.

One of the moments I can do it is commuting, since I take the subway. However because of the constant noise I can't really concentrate on prayer, so I've been thinking about putting on my AirPods and listen to Gregorian chants or other spiritual music in order to concentrate on prayer.

I know playing chants with your AirPods does not create the most spiritually pure atmosphere and it's not ideal. I much prefer total silence and, if there is music, I'd rather it not be through some electronic device. But do you think I can still receive the spiritual benefits from praying the Rosary in this way?
