Korg NC-Q1 Smart Noise Cancelling ANC DJ Headphones

Korg’s NC-Q1 is a brand new kind of bluetooth headphone technology, made to protect your ears even in very loud environments while delivering unsurpassed high definition sound and noise-less monitoring. The most important tool to any DJ and their performance is their ears, and by combining state-of-the-art Active Noise Cancelling, incoming sound attenuation and an array of smart features, the NC-Q1 headphones provide a highly-controllable, powerful and great-sounding experience. With this unique blend of Noise cancelling, NC-Q1s are ideal for DJs, drummers, front of house engineers – anywhere with hard to tame sound levels.

Available in black or white, the NC-Q1 is the only DJ headphones on the market specifically designed to help you protect your hearing with Active Noise Cancelling; helping to deliver the perfect mix. Typical noise levels in a DJ booth or around musicians can be around 100dB. Without correct ear protection, even a few minutes of exposure to these dangerous sound levels can lead to permanent ear loss. (Even 5 minutes of exposure to 105-110 decibels can cause irreversible damage.*) Other DJ phones just get louder. KORG provides a clear, safe listening environment using specially-tuned Active Noise Cancelling that can handle those levels.

Where other ANC headphones begin to distort, NC-Q1 delivers Noise Cancelling in extremely loud environments. Unlike most other Noise Cancelling headphones, the NC-Q1 has microphones on both the inside and outside of the ear cup that accurately suppress a wide range of frequencies and auto-adjust according to the external sound environment. Its powerful attenuation function allows the NC-Q1 to work better than other headphones at minimizing high noise levels = the ideal choice for noisy environments.

Besides effective noise cancelling in extremely noisy environments, the NC-Q1 is 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.
