If it weren't for having the FXM4s, I'd rate this the best TWS product out there. However, the 4s did have the advantage in 2 areas - better bass/low-end warmth, and better ANC. I've A/B'd them extensively. BUT, the new FXM5s have several advantages - form and fit being number one. Secondly? The stock sound profile is absolutely incredible - and offers more an "audiophile" tuning profile than the warm, fuller XM4s do. This is not a bad thing - in fact, it's so good - I can't use the GEQ that comes with the new connect app - the stock sound is outstanding.
Are they worth the price? Not if you own the XM4s. If you managed to see the once-in-a-while 20% discount? More than likely yes. If you truly love incredible sound and detail and clarity and precision in TWS format?? Most certainly yes. The sound and new form make up for all other discrepancies.
Note: Batteries are draining equally between buds, no issues there. Connect app works seamlessly. They sound amazing - but they come at a price and they're not perfect. Yet.

Great sounding buds, subpar tips
Love the sound of these buds, especially listening to music with high bitrates like Tidal or Amazing Music HD. Noise cancellation is amazing and the customization of the touch commands gives you a lot of options. While you don't NEED the app that goes with the earbuds, if you are wanting to get all you can put of your set, it's worth taking some time and just going through the couple steps.
