Compared to my Galaxy S3, using the same headphones I used with my Galaxy, the Sony sounds waaaaay better. That was a big thing for me, too, as I listen to music on headphones every single day.
Case selection leaves a lot to be desired. I have a clear rubbery Sony one and the quality is very good, but I prefer slim-fitting hard cases. I bought one of those slim hard cases off Amazon and loved it, except the flash reflected off the inside of the case and overexposed my photos. Tried to drill out the hole to be a little larger and ended up making the case look like junk, so went back to the Sony one.
Hopefully the accessory market will improve. I think this phone is gaining in popularity and as soon as people see it, they can't help but admit it is better in every way than every other phone on the market. In a year or two, if all other phones aren't waterproof with front-facing speakers, I'll be shocked. It's kind of nice having a 2016 phone in 2014.
