Is this perfect for watching concerts?

NO. 10x25 will work but wont work well, 10 is the magnification, 25 is the radius of incoming light, its very little, you need 10x30+ binoculars for wider field of view

Yes they would work well for concerts. They are light and have extensions that make them comfortable on your eye sockets.

It is a good glass for that purpose. They are small enough to fit into a jacket pocket, around your neck and inside your shirt (to keep them out of the way) or in a purse. Focus quickly, sharp images. A quality product at a good price point. I have had Zeiss, etc and this is one of the best for the price point.

Yes. There is a setting that needs to be enabled. I use it frequently for casual watching that doesn't need the full audio system playing.

Perhaps, I just don't expect much from any TV set in terms of sound quality, and maybe that is why in my opinion LN40B500 is perfectly adequate in that regard. When I watch DVDs or listen to music I do fire up my amp.As for watching news, etc. TV's sound is loud enough, perfectly clear... The darn thing even has a programmed-in EQ. What else one might want? It's a TV, not Hi-Fi system.

I've used it for rock concerts and it was excellent. The mics can be positioned in any way you like to make it less omni. While audience noises are a drag, when the music is loud it pretty much covers it. What you get then is very clean sound and excellent stereo imaging. Sure, recording with a mic pre amp and better mics will make it that much better, but my guess is you want to know how it does by itself. It does very well. Also quite excellent for recording personal guitar, piano, organ drums, whatever. And singing. Sounds great on voice.

I guess it depends on the intent. I use this monitor for work and listen to sports radio. The sound is plenty loud enough and clean. If you're watching movies then yea, it's not going to be the best but for a monitor they do the job just fine. If your watching YouTube or just wanting sound, not bad IMO.

Yes. Marantz feature is the synchronizing of speakers to viewing area and seating locations. Nice.

We've never used ours at an actual concert. However we have used them for observing birds and waterfowl after sunset and also in light fog conditions and they still produced a clear, crisp image. Also they are compact and lightweight so we wouldn't hesitate to take them to a concert if we were going to one.

Think of the Axess 15.6 inch TV/DVD player this way: It is like a laptop without the computing power; the image on the screen looks great within a certain viewing angle. Outside that viewing area the image goes to pot. Sound quality is OK, don't expect the folks in the back to be able to hear---there is just not enough power from the small speakers. If you are expecting to show video to more than 6 people, I would advise using something different.

not at all. these are a decent TV, light music speaker in a small room coupled with a small sub {pioneer sw8 or martin logan dynamo 300 would be a good match}

Hi, I would not use this for "quality" listening, but I use it for exercising and it's great for that. I can hear the music clearly, but if you're looking into listening to every nuance of the music (such as that you want in classical music), I wouldn't purchase this for that.

I have used it for watching pictures without any issue. I have seen people watching videos on it and reviews in general are positive.

I bought this as a gift. They tell me the sound is very good for watching movies. I'm not sure if that applies to music; I bet the sound is good for music also.

I use mine to hold a Gretsch tenor uke and it just fits. I would imagine a concert would fit fine. It is a little wide at the bottom for my soprano pineapple.

Yes, it can it can also be used as a stand to watch videos or listen to music. enjoy...

Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking for studio quality, but just good enough to re-enjoy concerts. I've been using a Sony MD recorder, which is remarkable as long as I keep the volume under control. I'd also use it for acoustic group demo/critical listening, so it'll probably do OK for that. If all else fails in the concert area, I can keep using the minidiscs.Thanks again,Jim

No, I don't think so. I don't know why you want this for a concert. Works best underwater, otherwise pictures are not that sharp.

No. I don't think you could use it like that. Just for playing music, watching videos.
