are these good for concerts either indoor or outdoor?

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.

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

I believe it would be a good idea to take them along to a concert. Being compact when folded, they are easy to carry along and will give you a closer look at the action on stage. But if you are in the distant back of the arena, you will need a higher magnification to get a good look at the performers.

They should be very good for either. I have used mine mostly outdoors, when the light is low.

I've used them in coffee shops and at work. They're not great in either environment, so I usually use my cheap pair of in-ears instead and save these for home use. But they sound phenomenal if you don't have any competing noise. They're not completely bad for a semi-loud environment, but you definitely hear outside noise.

yes, I wanted them for out door speakers and they are not loud enough for our garden but plenty loud and clear for my office (where I tested them)

yes you can definatly use them for that purpose. They have very good sound. they however should not be left outside in anything more than a shower. If ther rain is significate they will have sound problems and water will get inside them.

I don't think you should use these outside. They would not be protected from the elements.They may last a year or two days depending on how wet they got. Polk Audio sells outside speakers for all seasons. Unfortunately the don't recess but they sound great.

I would say they're great for either music or video. I use them mainly for music myself.

Yes, they are good for any type of use. I have been using them for movies and music and the sound is phenomenal

They are listed for indoor use. We have them outdoors in a covered patio, and have no problems with them (but they are protected from the weather).

I used 4 strings of these in an event hall in lieu of using the super unattractive fluorescent hall lights. They were on for at least 6-7 hours with no problem. I actually think they are better suited for indoor use as they are not as sturdy as commercial quality outdoor string lights (they're good quality, the construction of them is just more akin to like.... The large bulb Christmas lights).

These are great for live music sound in pretty much any small to medium-large venue (the larger the venue, the more you'll need. I can cover a block long street fair easily with just two of these in conjunction with a couple of 18" sub-woofers. They are also fine for DJ scenarios and home theater (a bit overkill) as well. You'll want at least 1000 Watts RMS per channel available to drive them if you are wanting to use for a loud rock band. You would only run them using half that power with the remainder to prevent break-up (distortion and possible damage) during musical peak demands. I would also recommend you use some sort of feedback control/prevention device.

The speakers are loud enough for indoor listening but not for outdoor use (such as in a big party setting or outdoor grill parties). You'll need something louder than this.

They would work well for that purpose. I returned mine because I wanted it for birding, and the bird needed to be too far away. But I did take it to one concert and found it worked very well.

Yes, they would work very well for concerts. However, you must remember that they are full sized and therefore would not fit in your pocket or a standard size purse. They come with their own case.

They are rated for indoor/outdoor use. And enjoy! They are fantastic bulbs.

We use them just like any indoor outdoor speakers. They work just fine with CD and Ipod music.

These speakers are not designed for outdoor use. Try the Bose 151 for outdoor use. The are surface mount but sound very good
