Hey guys, I'm considering buying the Pixel 4a but have some questions. Would be awesome if you could help me out:

• How is the audio quality via (wired) headphones? I listen to music all the time with my phone and seem to be kind of spoiled by my current HTC One M8. Audio quality on it is excellent. I had a new phone for some time but it really sounded horrible compared to the HTC (without any effects - comparing exactly the same lossless files under the same conditions). I guess the built in DAC plays a big role here.

• How sturdy is the phone? I read it's not waterproof. That's not ideal but I can arrange with that. But how about vibrations and drops? On my current phone the camera focus broke after navigating with it on my bike a few times. That should not happen again. ;)

• Will the street price drop immediately once it's released, compared to the preorder price? I'm from Germany.

• Any case recommendations? I read that the ones from Spigen and Caseology are good.

Any answers are appreciated. Cheers!

EDIT: Thanks for all the answers, guys! Think I can't resist preordering the phone much longer. ;)
