Korg NC Q1 (Black)

Unparalleled hearing protection and sound control; a new era in headphone monitoring.

We all know that your most important tools for any performance are… your ears! That’s why we spent years researching the environments where performers – especially DJs – monitor their music in order to develop a whole new level in headphones which combines a unique blend of features to provide a seamlessly integrated and safe DJ experience.

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 state-of-the-art 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, the NC-Q1 is perfect for DJs, drummers, front of house engineers – anywhere that’s hard to tame sound levels.

Designed for DJs, drummers, front of house engineers, or anyone that requires “hard-to-tame” sound levels, the white Korg NC-Q1 Smart Noise-Canceling DJ Headphones utilize advanced noise cancellation technology that is developed to protect your ears in very loud environments, while delivering high definition sound and noise-less monitoring. The headphones include a 4.9′ cable, but may also be used wirelessly, thanks to Bluetooth.

The NC-Q1 combines active noise cancellation (ANC) and passive noise cancellation (PNC) with incoming sound attenuation and an array of smart features to provide a flexible, controllable, and powerful sound experience. The Smart Monitoring and Sound Enhancing functions allows for remarkable customization, where users can change how they hear external sounds by adjusting volume balance, EQ presets, and choosing the ear from which to monitor (right, left, or both). What’s more, the listener can maximize their performance while protecting their hearing, by monitoring and cuing external sounds without removing any part of the headphones.

The NC-Q1 is compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth codecs and gives users remote access to Google Assistant and Siri. Dedicated beamforming processing assures clear voice signals during hands-free calls. The headphones combine physical buttons and switches with a tactile responsive earcup for precise and intuitive control. Simply tap or hold to activate or deactivate monitoring functions for one or both ears. The smart transport control automatically stops the audio stream on your playback device when you remove the headphones, and restarts it when you put them on again. The Korg NC Q1 features a 1200mA LiPo battery with 36 hours of battery life. A USB charging cable, carry bag, and 3.5mm to 1/4″ adapter are included.
