Just noted a few things while testing the new Sony SBH80 blutetooth headset with the Z1 Compact:

- Each time the Walkman app is brought to the foreground while playing music, there is crackling and intereference for about 3-4 seconds. Seems to be related to the Throw option kicking - setting to manual doesn't help.

- Notifications for text messages don't make the headset vibrate, as advertised; incoming calls do. There seems no way to control this behaviour in any case - no app like with SBH50, for instance.

- The manual states that battery level for the headset can be checked under Power Management > Accessories. No such option exists on the Z1C ... yet?

- NFC can't be switched off.

Reboot or reconnect don't help with any of these. Otherwise sound quality with aptX is superb, and the whole unit is very comfortable to wear
