Jockstraps provide superior support for your penis and testicles during athletics. They are superior to compression shorts in my opinion as they cup the genitals instead of flattening them against the body. I wear them to the gym, running, and anytime I do something athletic. I think they are comfortable and will often forget I have one on. Some are better than others though. Many sports professionals will pair a jockstrap with compression shorts to get the support from the jock and the added benefit of compression on the muscles.

They are comfortable to work out at the gym. I wear a jockstrap or a thong all summer long at work. I work outside and do a lot of sweating. I hate having soaking wet underwear on all day long. Jockstraps and thongs are a lot cooler for me.

I feel they are comfortable to work out in. As stated, I often forget that I have a jockstrap on - just like any other underwear. But I feel the level of support is superior to other types of underwear - especially boxer briefs and compression shorts. They can provide some lift to your butt as well, but not a ton. I will reiterate that some jockstraps are better than others, and it depends what you're looking for. Jockstraps are not very expensive. You might as purchase one to try it, and if you don't like it, it's not a big loss. Check online or at your local sporting goods store. Most sporting goods stores carry Shock Doctor, which is a decent, sporty brand.

In addition, a cup can be added to a jockstrap for contact sports like baseball, football, lacrosse, etc. This protects the genitals from impact. A jockstrap will hold a cup in place better than compression shorts. This is another place professional sports players will often wear both a jockstrap and compression shorts for the best of both options.

Not to mention more of a turn on;)

The benefits relate to your personal needs, I work on a motorcycle:
1. Comfort. Jocks provide "pouched hanging support". My cock goes sideways across my lap in boxer jocks.
2. No numb nuts. Riding motorcycle with underwear or a boxer jock my nuts for some reason get that prickly-numb feeling. Maybe circulation is cut off by the tighter underwear? So much so, it becomes a distraction resulting in my frequent need to stand on pegs to adjust or pull on my scrotum. Wearing a jockstrap this rarely happens.
3. Cooler, yesterday strattling engine on a hot day. Minimal coverage rocks!
4. Seamless waistband, I typically wear the 3" waistband but 2" are also work great. No waist band digging from outer belts.
5. Cup-able if needed. Cup held confidently in place by jock, no loose placement that can result in inadvertent self nut racking, e.g. slip a cup in underwear and it moves all over the place.
6. Perfect for pre or post work gym time or work related training.

Not much to add, I'd just put the emphasis on support, the wide waistband prevents it from moving and the straps hold the sack firmly in place so your cock and balls are nice and tight without any chafing or discomfort.
And if you sweat, you'd be happy to be wearing one.

Try a Duke brand jock. They are really roomy...
This is valid. I actually don't like Duke jockstraps because I think the pouch is too big.

This is a great point about the benefit of the wide waistband!

Everyone answered this pretty well. I just bought a bunch and am switching to jocks. I used to free ball all the time, whether working in the clinic or just walking the dog, but wasn't always appropriate. Jocks are arguably the hottest thing a man can wear. Like everyone has said, superior support, minimal fabric, comfortable, dry, favorable bulge enhancement, perfect waistband, classic, separates balls and cock from legs while still feeling rather free, and hot as fuck. Love when my waistband shows above my scrubs, or when my bulge is struggling to fit in my slacks with my bare ass still free, dry, and just one layer away from being exposed.

These are all the reasons I wear jockstraps as underwear, in addition to high cut briefs.
Not boxers thought, boxers do not give me the support I like, and I do not like my cock and balls sticking to my inner thighs. So jocks and high cut briefs are my primary choice.
