## Description

The Quad era-1 Planar magnetic headphones are the first ever headphones from world renowned Hi-Fi specialists, Quad. Using Planar magnetic technology to deliver a stunningly high End sound that is open and natural, The era-1 headphones offer unrivalled audio.

Review: Choose the right earpads - These headphones are supplied with two sets of earpads. They come fitted with velour-faced ones, and I found the sound with them a little veiled, and deep bass was too heavy. After a few days, I fitted the alternative tapered and perforated leather ones, and was surprised by how much difference they made. The sound became open and natural, with a well-extended and effortless bass, clean midrange and sweet treble. I am used to listening on Quad ESL-63 electrostatic loudspeakers, and the Era-1 headphones seem to mimic them remarkably well. Indeed, I have never heard my music more clearly. I usually listen to so-called 'classical' music, and find the headphones well suited to the whole range, from chamber works, though full orchestral and organ. Whilst I strongly prefer the alternative earpads, I can quite see that someone more interested in pop music or rock may prefer the velour earpads. Either way, I would strongly recommend these headphones to any serious listener.
Review: Lovely headphones for big heads - Beautifully engineered headphones. Great sound but had to return them as they we just too big for my average size head.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely headphones for big heads
*by P***R on 13 February 2022*

Beautifully engineered headphones. Great sound but had to return them as they we just too big for my average size head.

### ⭐ Probably the best sounding headphones I've heard, but the build quality is tterrible
*by P***S on 23 July 2023*

I've had two pairs of these this year and both of them broke at the yoke. The first one broke when I dropped it from 3 inches onto the carpet and the other broke when I picked it up via the headband. Unfortunately, I got rid of the packaging from the first one. The second one I could send back to Quad for repair/replacement only to have that thin bit of plastic break in a couple of month's time. The plastic in the yoke isn't as thick as it looks. It's about 6 mm thick. It's annoying because they're the first headphones I've heard that make instruments sound like instruments i.e solid bodied as well as reproducing rhythms and micro dynamics within a song/tune. They've got real slam, and speed as well. It says something about them when I say I suppose I'll have to go back to my Sennheiser HD 800s
