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

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..

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.
