As with the buds, you’ll need a phone running Android 13 or later, and dynamic head tracking only works with compatible video apps.

Same, bought xm4 two weeks ago. Mostly because xm5 case is kinda big and the features itself doesn't have much difference

They're absolutely fantastic headphones, but fuckin hell, I wish I could disable the play/pause double tap, and switch it to the custom button.

The amount of times when you have the headphones round your neck, it brushes your chin and restarts playback 😡 Not so bad with music, fuckin infuriating with audiobooks

Hmm, I think you can fully disable it via the android apps

Yeah you can disable it, but you can't change it to the custom button. I don't want to pull out my phone to pause every time
