You can use rtings to compare some measurements of models.

According to rtings the build isn't as flexible and ANC struggles more, it seems like the only reason you'd want to go XM5 is if the mic quality mattered to you more
It always surprises me how good of job Apple did with the AirPods Pro all around, hard to beat something you put in your pocket and just throw on a Qi charger

I was considering the XM4s or XM5s for the gym, where good ANC is really needed, but they are not sweat proof or sweat resistant, apparently, so I guess they do not suit my needs.

I have owned series 3-5 over the last seven or eight years (?). I can say without a doubt that in my use cases (98% at home, games / movies / music; relaxing, indoor/outdoor chores) the xm5 is better in every sense -- ANC (xm4 is close, imo), comfort over time, weight, fit are all better than the predecessors. Oh, and battery... charge time is absurdly fast comparatively and lasts far longer... also usb-c.
Sound quality is identical between all models as far as I can discern.
Ended up getting a second xm5 -- thanks for posting.
