The optics are great, but if you have to have it hanging around your neck for hours then not the best, just because of the weight.

Depends ; How far you are ! Horse track yes foot ball no . The 8250 Aculon needs a try-pod because it is made for distance it is to large to keep steady while just holding it by hand alone . I use a mono shooting stick and that works just fine . I personally think it' to large to be taken in to a sporting event.

I have not used it form that, as I LOOK AT THE STARSat night when it is clear. I would think you would haveto hold them steady but it could be done,

They will work great for sporting events as long as you have a steady hand. They have really good clear glass for the price but the 16 power is a little tough to hold steady for me.

I use them to watch the races at gulfstream park. They are very good at isolating individual horses with very good details. If you are seeking a broader view, go for something with much less magnifying power.

no - much too powerful and will be hard to stabilize - I would never go over a 10x when viewing fast moving objects

I think they would do fine. I use them for loud meetings, but I can still hear the person next to me. Hope this helps.

I have used mine at football games and auto race tracks. They have been great.

I feel these binoculars are ok for general nature walks, some sporting events. They aren't powerful enough for far distances (like in a big stadium). For more detail I think I'd have to buy a better pair and spend 2x the money. I did like that I could look through them with my glasses on, and they have a rubber cushion around the eye area. They are small, light weight, and have a good grip surface. Hope this helps. Barb

Excellent for running. They appear uneffected by sweat. They fit really snuggly too so that they dont fall out. The blue tooth range to the device you are connecting appears to depend on the power output of your device rather than the ear buds. A tablet computer will connect and stay connected better than a smart phone. But overall these are great for physical sports.

We use these them for exercise and/or grappling on the floor. They are of good quality but with Olympic weights I am not sure how they will stand the test of time. I do recommend them though.

They are awesome for gaming. The only drawback is that you have to buy the attachable mic if you game online. I don't have the mic so I can't speak to that piece. Good luck.

I don't play tennis. I assume they would be good for tennis players, knowing that they're helpful for soccer players. They provide good compression of the ankle joint without diminishing flexibility.

Yes! At least that is what my husband uses them for --he is a High School Cross Country Coach. I ordered them at his request. Hope that helps.

I have never used them for watching racing before, but they do auto focus so its easy to follow moving items so I would assume they would work well for that.

Yes. They are quite worth the price. I bought a pair over seven years ago and they are still like new.

These will work perfect for what you are in need of. I wore them at a very loud NASCAR race this summer and had no problems hearing and understanding the radio broadcast. Further, with a set of strong batteries, I had no problems picking up the station either (even when moving about the facility). I would definitely recommend them for your game.

I agree with Keith. I'm using them right now, these things are in my ears all the time. I'm not sure they'd be great for running, unless they were under a shirt, but for lifting they're fine. If you're up for the investment, I'd recommend these to anybody and everybody.

I think it would well for basketball. It seems to stay in place well when moving around. It's not very thick (only about a 1/4"), so it provide pretty minimal protection. Which is fine for what I use them for. You would probably want something with a hard shell and maybe more padding for something like rollerblading on cement. I'm not sure how much protection you are looking for, but I think they would probably work well for basketball and even volleyball.

Yes, I think these would be good for concert. We also use them for bird watching and boating.

Yes they are very good for shooting. I only used them at outdoor range but I am sure they would work well at an indoor range also.
