Is the price difference between the XM4's and XM5's worth it?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm getting a pair of wireless ANC headphones for travel in march. All the reviews I've seen covering this talk about upgrading from the 4's to the 5's. I understand the 5's are better I just don't If they are worth $100 more?

The XM5 is considered a downgrade compared to the XM4 by many people (actually testing the device, not just turning the press release in an AI generated article "reviewing" the headphones). You are losing 10 hours of playback time and they sound slightly worse. Get the XM4s.

Thank you so much! I read through the article and overall, I think the 4's are a better fit for me.
