Quad ERA-1 Planar Headphones Review
After spearheading British Hi-Fi since 1936 with the iconic ESL electrostatic panel loudspeakers Quad has released its first ever headphones. The ERA-1 headphones offer low impedance, high efficiency and performance that is similar to the legendary ESL speakers.
The robust construction and premium finish give them a luxurious feeling however they're comfortable and light in comparison to other plansar designs. Two kinds of earpads are included, one of which is made from soft leather and the second from latex topped with fleece fabric, giving a degree of individual tailoring to suit your preferences and acoustic properties.
ERA-1
The Quad ERA-1 headphones are an open, planar-magnetic headphone with a very high degree of transparency and soundstage extension. They are ideal for home and studio audio, DJ work, and mobile use. They feature a lightweight diaphragm that is positioned between two magnets, which offers a smooth frequency response with no any phase shifts. This is in contrast to conventional dynamic cone speakers with a variable frequency response. The ERA-1s provide an open and clear sound with precise vocals. They also have a rich bass that is not overpowering. The treble has a crisp and inviting quality, while the mid-range is nuanced and clear.
The soundstage is more spacious than that of other headphones in the same price range. The earpads are made from leather with a soft surface, and the headband is adorned with leather. The minimalist design of the earpads matches its high-performance sound. The cable is detachable and has an ordinary TRS plug. This makes it simple to switch or replace it in the event of a need. It also comes with a hardshell carrying case and an additional pair of earpads that can be used for different sound styles.
The ERA-1 can be comfortable for long listening sessions. They're not light however they are much lighter than other premium headphones with comparable performance. They're also very efficient and do not require a lot of power to operate. The ear pads are very soft, which means that you can wear them for hours without discomfort.
The ERA-1s compete with headphones from Audeze HiFiMAN and MrSpeakers in an industry that is populated by moderately priced, high-quality planar-magnetic designs. However, being able to stand out in this market is more than having a great name and a cheap price tag. I was listening to a track from Alter Natives who perform percussive rhythmic improv. The songs of Alter Natives feature various instruments that include electric guitars, flute, bass, and saxophone. The ERA-1s recorded the track with astonishing clarity and precision even at high volume.
ERA-2
Ahead of its time, Quad's initial headphone elicited awe and reverence from both critics and consumers. The ERA-1 seeks to capture the magic of the company's legendary electrostatic loudspeakers. It's an open, transparent headphone that has deep bass, supple and precise mids, crystal clear highs and a large soundstage that is intimate without being constricting. It's hard to imagine an even better headphone with an appropriate tonal balance and believable instrument separation and makes you feel as if you're in the studio right with the musicians.
The earcups are constructed of a breathable and lightweight material that is comfortable for long listening sessions. Its exclusive non-linear, patented vibration suppression technology is designed to block unwanted resonances in the headphones, improving clarity and precision. The ERA-1's drivers are acoustically matched to very tight tolerances, resulting in excellent transient response and high resolution. The slim and elegant design makes it simple to carry around. It also has a detachable cable that has two standard 3.5mm connectors. This makes it easy to use aftermarket cables.
Contrary to electrostatic headphones that require a specific voltage of bias and very high-voltage audio signal to operate the headphones, planar-magnetic designs can be driven by the output of most portable digital audio players or an external headphone amplifier. This allows them to deliver a much more natural and immersive listening experience than traditional headphones. The ERA-1's planar magnetic drivers also have less stored energy, which means they can reproduce low frequencies more easily than other headphones with a bigger diaphragm.
To test the ERA-1, I used various pieces of music, including some classical pieces as well as modern recordings. I was able to see that the ERA-1 had excellent articulation and clarity that was evident in a piece of string music, with every individual note clearly defined in space. It was less flesh-and bone than the LCDX in this respect and has a more full-bodied and natural presentation. Both of them can track the shape of the notes with astonishing precision. However the ERA-1 just sounds more coherent. It's also lighter in sound and therefore more suitable for mobile usage.
ERA-3
With the exception of the very best planars, the majority of headphones priced under $1000 range have a sound signature that is too cloistered and sealed in. The ERA-1 offers the openness and transparency you are used to from a planar. The headphone's weight is light and low clamping force makes it comfortable for long listening sessions - our listeners were SoundStage!

In contrast to electrostatic headphones, which require an additional headphone planar amplifier to produce the required bias voltage and high-voltage audio signal that drives their diaphragms. Planars make use of a thin diaphragm that is placed between two magnets. This means that all the parts of the diaphragm resonate equally and remove the intermodulation distortion caused by inductance that can cause electrostatic drivers to emit an bright or edgy sound.
Planars can also be driven by an audio player that is portable and equipped with a driver that is sensitive enough. The ERA-1 is among the few headphones that can be used in this way, however, to fully unlock their full potential, you'll need an excellent headphone amplifier.
The ERA-1 has a large soundstage, superb clarity, and a natural and smooth midrange. It has a fast response that makes it simple to follow the notes of the string in complicated arrangements. I tried the track "Mining for Gold," from the Cowboy Junkies album The Trinity Session (16/44.1 FLAC, RCA), and I found that the notes on the strings had excellent separation and were extremely well-defined.
Compared with the excellent but comparatively expensive MrSpeakers Amiron, the Quad ERA-1 offers better instrument separation and more precise imaging. It's a little more relaxed, but it still has excellent detail and a black background. I then listened to the jazz quartet semi-improv by Alter Natives from their Over The Counter - Culture CD on the SST label (24/96 vinyl cut) to see how the ERA-1 performed with drums, flute, electric guitar, and saxophone. This track requires a high speed and dynamic range to reproduce precisely. The ERA-1's remarkable phase coherency, detail, and bass were all evident.
ERA-4
After a long absence from the market for headphones, Quad is back with their first-ever headphones. The ERA-1 planar magnetic headphones (more about 125.141.133.9) build on the company’s legacy of electrostatic speakers. It is constructed with a thin, high-quality diaphragm surrounded by drivers that are tuned to precise tolerances. This lets the entire diaphragm including the earpieces, vibrate simultaneously. This improves the coherence of phase and the reconstruction of the peaks of signal. The light and comfortable design allows you to wear it for long listening sessions.
The ERA-1 is a fantastic choice for those who love music and want a a detailed, open soundstage that has excellent clarity. It is much easier to operate than many planar headphones, and can be used on any smartphone or portable audio device. Its low impedance makes them suitable for use with many amplifiers. The earcups of the headphones are cushioned to ensure they are comfortable. Its soundstage is spacious and its high-frequency sensitivity has excellent transient response. Its midrange and bass are both natural and accurate.
Unlike most headphones with driver complements, the ERA-1's is identical on both sides of the headphone, which allows for the same audio quality across both ears. This feature is essential for those who love listening to music with other people or planar magnetic headphones in groups. Additionally, the ERA-1's open-backed design allows for excellent sound isolation and reduces bleeding from external sources.
The ERA-1 headphone made by Quad is a great option if you want the most excellent sound. Its low-profile design and light construction make it a simple to use for any shape of head. The headphone comes with a carry case and an extra set of earpads, which makes it a great choice for travel. The ERA-1 comes with a detachable cord that can be customized.
The Quad ERA-1 is a good choice for those who love classic hi-fi. Its open-back design provides a wide soundstage and great imaging. Additionally, its neutral and transparent sound is perfect for any genre of music. Its rich detail and clear vocals are particularly impressive. The ERA-1 is available at an affordable price, and it is available from a variety of online retailers.
