Korg NCQ1 Overview

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.

These have been “almost out” forever. Are these still being released?
Asked by: Jim
I was able to purchase a set, so yes, they are out. They are interesting. Different than my other Pioneer DJ headphones. Not as rugged as the Pioneers though.
