In the past, for Hi End audio players, when they mentioned UK Quad, the first thing that came to mind was the famous ESL electrostatic speaker. Peter walker, the founder, used the slogan "closest to the original sound" to represent their brand concept.
It is reported that Quad's first earphone era-1 (that is, today's protagonist) is a design that pays tribute to the classic-ESL electrostatic horn, in which Quad's own patents are applied.
ERA- 1 is the first earphone with high-end flat diaphragm technology, which has many benefits. Because the thickness of the flat diaphragm is very thin, it is particularly light. Quad wants two results:
1. Lightweight "big ears". Headphones are supposed to make people more or less loaded.
2, the details are more perfect, because the flat diaphragm is very thin, the response is naturally fast, and the details are naturally better.
To tell the truth, I, a chubby person, actually don't like going out with big headphones. First, the ears are hot in summer, and second, the load is not good. But ERA- 1 gives me an acceptable feeling. Even if I carry a load for 2 hours, it's not very serious. I can recognize it anyway.
