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 for Secondipity, I bought the refurb WH-1000XM4 headphones from them last year and they are serving me very well with no issues.
Also, do you have a link for the battery replacement guide?
I watched this youtube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2twbzh
I used E-8000 glue to make sure the top board was glued securely to the new battery (my first bud definitely needed it). I tested the buds, then glued the case together with E-8000.
Where did you hear Sony changed the battery tech on XM5? Furthermore, XM4 aren't s hardware issue, but was corrupted after OTA firmware update.
As for the firmware-triggered heat/battery issue, Sony released a firmware update and there was a 3rd party option to downgrade the firmware as well..

Louis Rossman was actually talking about pretty recently. I guess i was one of the lucky few that didn't get a defective unit.

Samsung buds2 pro are rated higher by rtings, and I have no issues charging them with comply tips installed. $110 on eBay.
The biggest con for me is that, if they fall out in the gym while working out or jogging, that's a hard pass for me, because my major usage is either in the gym or biking or jogging/running.
I wish they had a trade-in program to make it a better deal, I would trade in my Samsung Galaxy Eardbuds 2 pro.
