Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be kept in a 200 x 310 x 200 mm lock box in the "Safe" wing of Site ███. Any personnel who wish to use SCP-XXXX for testing must be Clearance level 2 or above. Any electronic devices used in testing for SCP-XXXX must be given SCP designation and be either contained or terminated as seen fit by the researcher. (Testing currently suspended, See Addendum XXXX-A)
Description: SCP-XXXX is a pair of headphones with a standard 3.5mm audio jack and is compatible with most electronic devices, such as smartphones and computers.
When SCP-XXXX is worn by a human subject and is used to listen to music for a prolonged amount of time, the subject, henceforth known as SCP-XXXX-1, will have their thoughts and personality altered dependent on what they are listening to. This effect only takes place with music, and testing with podcasts, talk shows and audio books have not had this effect. The amount of time it takes for changes to take effect depend on the volume and length of the song. Changes typically take effect within an hour of use. It was later discovered that any use of SCP-XXXX results in All effects are irreversible. See test logs. Reverse engineering of SCP-XXXX has proven fruitless in finding its anomalous properties.
SCP-XXXX was discovered in Adams City High School in Commerce City, Colorado in November of 2017, after several reports of students acting abnormally after using a specific computer in the computer lab. Foundation personnel cleared the computer lab of all headphones. Even after questioning of all staff of Adams City High, SCP-XXXX’s origin is unknown. A foundation agent has been planted in the school under the guise of an IT teacher to monitor the school for additional anomalous events.
