I have the newer XM5s. The main reason for me to go with them instead of the cheaper XM4s was the call quality.

I use my headphones very often in conference calls and the XM5s have excellent microphones compared to their predecessors. Side note: before, I have tested the Bose QC45 but those microphones are absolutely garbage. Sad, because the QC35 microphones were good.

I don’t mind that the XM5s don’t fold anymore. In a way I like the new design better compared to my wife’s XM3s.
