- How long have you use it?
for about 2 years (this is my 2nd pair, the new models seem even more solid than my first pair)

- What is so special that you like most and least?
It's Sony is Japanese, and as the Japanese brands in general, they keep improving little by little equipment, my first pair (which I was quite happy) I let go after 6 months of intensive use, the cable was in my view responsible for ca, flexible and extensible, the drivers seemed to float in, probably not the best protection. Now it's cables "classic" I would say, with a thick enough insulation and secured to the driver. ca short happens from time to time to drive on the cable with my rolling chair, and for over a year since I have this pair, it does not seem tired.

Another plus: insulation, for those who do not know, this headset very well isolated from the noise, I use the pc notament to have my sound and no noise in the ears ventilos.

one more thing: the 3 sizes of ear tips to accommodate different sizes of ears. Personal I use the smaller, they are nickel to my ears. do not hesitate to test 3.

against the cable is quite short if used without the extension, and a little long with the extension. a shorter extension might have been more appropriate, it said it can not use a remote Raju 1m cable. and the extension can still be used for a LAN, to connect headphones to the PC sound card, if it does not bring in speakers with headphones port on it.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I tested a lot of headphones, but it is the only in-ear that I tried. Having said that I read everywhere that the EX51 is well below low level (more drooling), for the fans.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
very good, € 36 in Alifax is an excellent price for such quality sound.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
yes, a good headphone for isolation of ambient noise, used in the train (rather than large closed headphones look 80)
pc as music player, it's a very good deal! I have no personal hi-fi so I can not comment on this type of use.
