Has anyone worn these for sports such as basketball? I need something compressive, but I also have to be running/jumping around. Thanks in advance!

It will slide down. I used this on my tennis game and it keeps sliding down, so annoying.basketball frequently run and jump so i dont think this is good.

I have worn them in basketball games and at the gym for hardcore work outs. they are light comfortable and stay up well.

They are very thin and lightweight. Very little compression. They felt more like a layer of skin and were shorter in length than I expected. I would suggest a neoprene product.

I agree about going down a size.I think you could talk to the CompressionZ company-responsive they will help you with size and usage.

I wear mine for sports and they fit fine. However, I went down a size from what I measured from the knee to ensure they would be tight for compression and wouldn't roll down.

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend these for working out. I like them a lot, but they don't fit sniping like sports headphones.

I think these are for sun protection. They do fit snug, but I do not use them for compression.

I am not exactly sure how you define compression but I wear them all the time to crossfit and they they stay in place (a couple of inches higher than mid-shin) during the entire hour of a strenuous crossfit workout. I also never feel that they are so tight that they cut off circulation. So I think they are perfect. I hope this answers your question

I wear them when I ride my bike. Everyone once in a while, they become loose and I need to stop and tighten the straps. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while running, but that would a decision you would need to make for yourself.

It will be fine for all the sports you mentioned. I forget I'm wearing it....very comfortable. Not bulky at all. Actually unnoticeable with compression shirts on.

I use it every week for basketball for some extra support. Over a shirt it works great, sleeveless not so much. I recommend it tho

I bought them for my son, He runs in them and plays basketball in them. He loves them.

These are probably way too big for him. At that age, you can get integrated sock/shin guards that may be easier. Check with his league/coach.

Better top stick with the sport model or buy a pair of Phillips ActionFit earhook headphones. Less expensive, and if you break them while running, you don't have to worry about breaking these. Personally, I haven't found that they fit well enough in my ear to run with, but I do like the sound accuracy. These are more for the listening experience than running in.

Mine are excellent for the noise, but they are just so bulky. I don't really like the way they fit.. I will get different ones that are not so big , bulky and heavy.. when I shoot at the local indoor range here , they make sweat like crazy.. LOL...

My son uses them for football. He doesn't wear underwear with them. I hope this helps you in your decision. Just to let you know he has tried other types of compression shorts and the Under Armour were the best ones for him.

Scott, Although not conceived as a "sports" model, I wear these phones while exercising often. I have worn them hiking steep mountain trails (just returned today from Banff, Canada), spinning, kayak camping ... you name it! I have sweat with them on and even hiked in the rain with them on. No damage to the headphones. Mine fit tight in my ears without behind the ear supports. I have never had them fall out (except when the cord is snagged on a tree branch). If they fit you as well as me they should work well during exercise. BTW - The audio reproduction is outstanding.

Well for me it's kinda annoying I have thick frames though , they cause them to start to fall off , but I ran 3 miles with them and just had to touch my ears like twice to adjust while running. Hope that helps

I would say these would not work for your purpose. You won't definitely won't get a true bounce in spots as you dribble. Also if you were to take a dive or trip and fall, the grippers on top would tear your skin up something serious. I'd rather fall on smooth concrete or tar. YMMV, but as a basketball player myself, I know these wouldn't 'cut it' for me.
