I never thought this day would come, but the Devil whispered in my ear to try Arya, and as much as I love the Era-1’s for their smoothness, resolution and slam, the Arya turned out to be even more to my liking for their clarity and soundstage, especially for classical music and jazz, which I listen to. Alas the Arya cost twice as much as the Era-1's...
I had two pairs of Era-1 and sold my backup pair first, holding on to the primary pair just in case my ears change their mind. They have not, and so it is time to pass the Era-1 on to someone who will use them more than I.
Here are the disclosures: The box is in rough shape. The paper flap has been detached (it is still included), and the cardboard box originally containing the velour pads is missing (as are those pads). Brand new OEM Quad fenestrated angled pads are included (these are mounted on the headphones in the pics). Two more pairs of new aftermarket genuine sheepskin pads (on mounting rings!) are included: one angled pair and one not. [For my listening I used ZMF oval lambskin pads, which I am keeping! ]. Original cables are also not included (I am including an aftermarket cable that I used). Finally and importantly, the underside of the headband has started to deteriorate at the top. You will need to get a cover for it. All Era-1 have this issue sooner or later.
Price is firm, at a bargain of USD$425 shipped within USA. I cannot ship these internationally.
I am not looking for trades.
