Unparalleled Hearing Protection and Sound Control
Featuring state-of-the-art Active Noise Cancelling Technology
The new NC-Q1 from Korg features ground-breaking Bluetooth headphone technology, specifically developed to protect your ears from damage in loud environments whilst simultaneously delivering unparalled high-definition sound and noiseless monitoring.
Bringing together state-of-the-art Active Noise Cancelling, incoming sound attenuation and a broad spectrum of smart features, the NC-Q1 headphones deliver a flexible, controllable, powerful and breath-taking experience of sound. With the NC-Q1’s unique blend of Noise cancelling technology and ultra-high quality sound, Korg’s NC-Q1 is the perfect choice for DJ’s, drummers, FOH engineers and anyone else who is frequently subject to extreme noise levels.
ANC (Active Noise Cancelling)
the perfect choice for noisy environments
The NC-Q1 sports an advanced Noise-Cancelling system, which utilises both feed-forward and feedback active noise cancelling technology which is tuned to withstand and process the high levels of sound found in most monitoring situations.
Where other ANC headphones start to distort, the Korg NC-Q1 activates Noise cancelling in extremely loud environments. Rather different to other Noise cancelling headphones, the NC-Q1 features microphones on both the inside and outside of the ear cup that suppresses a wide range of frequencies with staggering precision and auto-adjusts in accordance with the external sound environment.
The powerful attenuation function allows the NC-Q1 to perform better than other headphones at minimising high noise levels, making the NC-Q1 the perfect choice for loud environments.
PNC (Passive Noise Cancelling)
The ultimate noise-cancelling experience
The NC-Q1’s adaptable ear cushion (made from viscoelastic memory foam, just like high-quality pillows) is an over the ear cup styling and provides not just the highest degree of comfort, but also acts to fit around your ear in the best possible manner. It works to provide the highest level of noise-isolation by not letting any sound in, or out, and assuring the microphones placed inside and outside the earcup pick up only the appropriate sound, to deliver extremely precise and accurate noise cancelling.
The NC-Q1 takes things a little further than other similar headphones on the market: the noises we hear come from not only from the outside world, but also from inside our own bodies, which are transmitted to our ears via the headband of our headphones. Korg designed a special frame structure whereby the NC-Q1 limits these noises and delivers the ultimate noise cancelling experience.
The DJ’s New Best Friend
'Smart Monitoring' & 'Sound Enhancing' functionalities
The Korg NC-Q1 whilst being extremely effective in noise cancellation in noisy environments, is also perfect for use in the DJ booth. The ‘Smart Monitoring’ and ‘Sound Enhancing’ functionalities mean that users are able to customise their hearing of external sounds by choosing an EQ preset, then adjusting the volume balance, and even being able to choose the ear from which to monitor from, left, right or even both!

Full-Connectivity
Supports Google Assistant and Siri
The NC-Q1 is compatible with a broad spectrum of Bluetooth codecs such as SBC, AAC, aptX-xLLC, APTx-HD), and also gives users hands-on remote access to Google Assistant and Siri.
The NC-Q1’s dedicated beamforming processing always ensures brilliant clarity in voice signal during hands-free calls so you can always be connected with the people around you.
Using a combination of physical buttons and switches, alongside a tactile responsive earcup, for a quick, accurate and intuitive control.
Easy, Intuitive Control
NEVER MISS A BEAT AGAIN!
With just one tap, or hold, it’s so simple to active or deactivate the monitoring function in one, or both ears! ‘Multi-function switch’ makes it easier than ever to activate play/pause/rewind/fast forward functionalities.
Should you need to remove your headphones, the NC-Q1’s smart transport control function automatically stops the audio stream via remote functionality on your playback devices and restarts it automatically once you put the headphones back on. Meaning you don’t miss a single beat of your favourite music!
