These Sony Headphones Are Over $100 Off, And They’re Perfect For Watching The NBA Conference Finals

The NBA Conference Finals continue this week, and we might even know who’s reached the NB Finals before the week is out. If you’re looking to plop in front of the TV with the games, there’s a deal just for you on the perfect set of headphones to kick back with. The Sony WH-1000XM5 are premium wireless headphones to pair with your TV, and right now Amazon has them discounted a hefty 25%. That brings them down from $400 to a playoff-friendly sale price of $298.

Why You Should Buy The Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones

The battle between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves for a spot in the NBA Finals continues this week, as does the Eastern Conference Finals, which has the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers going at it. A set of premium wireless headphones is a great way to experience the thrill of an NBA game, and there’s few out there that deliver across-the-board quality like the Sony WH-1000XM5. These have been Sony’s flagship wireless headphones for years, and I think they’re an absolute steal while this deal is going on.

The standout feature of the WH-1000XM5 is active noise-cancellation. It’s some of the best you’ll find among current models of wireless headphones, which is perfect for blocking out the noise around you and getting immersed in an NBA game. The ANC will also come in handy for other use-case scenarios, such as getting some work done in a noisy office. But all-in-all, these pair well with home theaters for experiencing sports events, watching movies, and diving into some video games.

Audio quality, of course, is something to consider with a new set of headphones. A lot of wireless headphones out there deliver one impressive feature but hold back on others, but the WH-1000XM5 really come through on all fronts. They’re the headphones of choice for a lot of athletes, but they’re commonplace among sound engineers, video editors, and the like. They produce a solid audio experience, and they even have features like Spatial Audio, which really ups the immersion no matter what you’re watching or listening to.

Some of the more practical features of the WH-1000XM5 include a comfortable design that makes them wearable for hours at a time, battery life that can reach 30 hours between charges. If you manage to run them dry while in the middle of a game or while out in the wild, it only takes three minutes of charging to get another three hours of life via fast-charging technology. The WH-1000XM5 connect easily to any Bluetooth device, and they should switch easily between devices like TVs, phones, tablets, and laptops.

While the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones regularly go for $400, with this deal you can pick them up for just $298. That’s 25% off a set of premium Sony wireless headphones, making these the perfect audio companion for tuning into the remainder of the NBA playoffs.
