DJs and musicians are often exposed to extremely dangerous sound levels. Without correct ear protection, even a few minutes of exposure to these dangerous sound levels can lead to permanent ear loss. Korg's NC-Q1 is a very new kind of Bluetooth headphone technology, developed to protect your ears even in very loud environments while delivering unsurpassed high definition sound and noise-less monitoring. Combining Active Noise Cancelling, incoming sound attenuation and an array of smart features, the NC-Q1 headphones provide a flexible, controllable, powerful and great-sounding experience. With this unique blend of Noise cancelling technology and high-quality sound, these headphones are perfect for DJs, drummers, front of house engineers anywhere that's hard to tame sound levels.

ANC (Active Noise Cancelling)

The Korg NC-Q1 Headphones feature an advanced Noise-Cancelling system, utilizing both Feed-forward and Feedback Active Noise-Cancelling technology that is tuned to withstand and process the high levels of sound found in many monitoring environments. Where other Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones begin to distort, NC-Q1 delivers noise-cancelling in extremely loud environments. Unlike most other noise-cancelling headphones, they have microphones on both the inside and outside of the ear cup. These ear cups accurately suppress a wide range of frequencies and auto-adjust according to the external sound environment.

PNC (Passive Noise Cancelling)

The adaptable ear cushion (made of viscoelastic memory foam, like high quality pillows) over the ear cup provides not only the highest comfort, but also the best fit around your ear, providing excellent noise isolation not letting any sound in or out, and assuring the microphones placed inside and outside the ear cup pick up the appropriate sound for highly precise and accurate noise cancelling. The NC-Q1 goes one step further than most other headphones: the noises we hear come not only from the outside world, but also our own body, transmitted to our ears through the headband of our headphones. By using a special frame structure, these headphones minimize these noises to provide an unparalleled noise cancelling experience.

Smart Monitoring and Sound Enhancing Functions

Besides effective noise cancelling in extremely noisy environments, the NC-Q1 Headphones are ideal for use in a DJ booth. The Smart Monitoring and Sound Enhancing functions allow users to customize their hearing of external sounds by selecting an EQ preset, adjusting the volume balance, and even choosing the ear from which to monitor (right, left, or both). Cue and monitor external sounds without having to remove any part of the headphones, to maximize your performance while protecting your ears.

Full-Connectivity, Easy Control

Compatible with a wide variety of Bluetooth codecs (SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX-xLLC, APTx-HD), the NC-Q1 also gives users remote access to both Google Assistant and Siri, and its dedicated beam forming processing assures the clearest voice signal during hands-free calls, so you are always well connected with the world around you. The Korg NC-Q1 Smart Noise-Canceling DJ Headphones combine physical buttons and switches with a tactile responsive ear cup, for a fast, precise and intuitive control. With just a simple tap, or hold, it is easy to activate or deactivate monitoring function for one or both ears.

Pristine Sound and Professional Performance

These Smart Noise-Canceling DJ Headphones feature a wide frequency and harmonic response along with a wide dynamic range for a precise, clear and well-balanced sound with a 41mm custom PEEK high-grade film diaphragm for excellent sound. The adaptable ear cushion and over the ear cup provide not only excellent noise isolation, but also the highest comfort.
