PRO:
- Smaller earbuds and case
- Claimed to have better battery durability (XM4s battery capacity significantly dropped within a year of heavy use)
- Sound on par with XM5 despite smaller size
- Replaced the spoken status with chimes (end result, quicker to resume playing)
- Senses touch more regularly than the XM4, which was pretty finicky
CON:
- New charging case can't fit large ear gels, resulting in poor connection/failed charging/accidental connection to phone
- This is the biggest annoyance as it requires me to remove the gels to charge them every day.
- Prefer the matte finish of the XM4 (as do many others)
- A little too sensitive to touch - I wear them to bed and on rare occasions, they are triggered by the pillow when by rolling over

As to why these headphones keep showing up in their store, massively discounted, I have no idea...

Will be avoiding Sony in the foreseeable future.
One review I read stated the XM5s aren't as good at canceling low frequency noise as the XM4's - I use these on a bike trail that is parallel to train tracks. My main problem with the XM4s is that calls break up after a short duration but I don't know if that is a problem with XM4s or a problem with my iPhone.
