The Quad ERA 1 are planar magnetic headphones, offering a frequency range of 10 to 40k Hertz. The headphones are supplied with 2 pairs of different earpads (genuine leather and synthetic leather) which have slightly different acoustics; the sound output has been tuned to match Quad's world-famous ESL range of loudspeakers.

Ordinary headphones use mass-produced dynamic cone drivers which can hinder transient response and cause an uneven frequency response, with Quad's planar magnetic technology the headphones deliver a natural and accurate sound, ensuring you hear every nuance of a recorded musical performance.

The majority of planar magnetic headphones require high power amplifiers to drive them. Quad Era-1 combines high sensitivity with low impedance to enable them to perform well with a range of partnering devices, from high res portable players to high-quality headphone amps. Quad's valve-based PA-One headphone amp/DAC is a superb match for the Era-1 combining sonic clarity and fluidity to stunning effect.

The Era-1 mixes tradition with innovation. The construction of the headphones are robust and a premium finish deliver a suitably luxurious feel yet the headphones are comfortably lightweight compared to similar models. Quad have also included a choice of two earpads; a soft leather type or latex with a fleecy layer. A high-quality, detachable 215cm cable is also supplied along with a sturdy carry case.
