General

Korg understands like no other that listening is one of the most essential skills of any musician. As such, they have poured years of research into developing a set of headphones that listen just as hard: the Korg NC-Q1s. These active noise-cancelling headphones offer an array of highly useful features with a focus on DJs and drummers. The most important of these features is the attenuation function that ensures your hearing is fully protected in louder environments. On a more casual but no-less useful point, Google's Siri assistant is also supported for quick smartphone search requests and other operations, and, since these are Bluetooth headphones, you're offered outstanding Korg-grade sound, free of the clumsy cables.

Active & Passive Noise Cancelling

The Korg NC-Q1 headphones are capable of both active and passive noise cancellation. When active, the noise cancelling system uses both 'feed forward' and 'feedback' tech to ensure that high volume levels are correctly processed and that no distortion occurs when the environment gets too loud. These otherworldly headphones even their own set of 'ears' in the form of an external and internal microphone that monitor and suppress any frequencies that might interfere with what you're listening to - resulting in squeaky clean audio reproduction. In terms of wearing comfort, the ear cushions are adjustable and highly efficient when it comes to isolating ambient sound and even makes use of a specially developed frame that limits any contact sound caused by your own body for the absolute ultimate in noise-cancellation.
