Review: Great for birding! - Nice entry level binoculars made well, nice carrying case. Excellent for birding. I would definitely get a sturdier more comfortable neck strap. Review: Great for the price. - Excellent mechanically. At a dark astronomy site, you can't tell these from expensive glass. In town with streetlights, stray light will splash across your view. Even the sunset will through glare across the view if you look within 30 degrees of it. All binoculars show stray light near streetlights, but these show it more than my $110 Nikon Aculons. That is their only flaw, though. They are mechanically and optically great otherwise. I've gotten many people to look at them during astronomy outreach, and all were impressed. They are as advertised. For $25 shipped, buy them and don't worry about breaking them. ## Features - TOP QUALITY AND BUDGET-FRIENDLY BINOCULARS: A great pair of binoculars that combines top engineering features with an economical price.

Excellent for birding. I would definitely get a sturdier more comfortable neck strap. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the price. *by M***9 on October 10, 2015* Excellent mechanically. At a dark astronomy site, you can't tell these from expensive glass. In town with streetlights, stray light will splash across your view. Even the sunset will through glare across the view if you look within 30 degrees of it. All binoculars show stray light near streetlights, but these show it more than my $110 Nikon Aculons. That is their only flaw, though. They are mechanically and optically great otherwise. I've gotten many people to look at them during astronomy outreach, and all were impressed. They are as advertised. For $25 shipped, buy them and don't worry about breaking them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the price *by J***. on October 4, 2018* Easy to get good results. I use them for amateur astronomy, they are quite good for that purpose. As with any binocular it is difficult to hold steady without a tripod. Amazing how many stars are visible that I can't see without them. The eyepiece adjustment for people with glasses is not as sturdy as I would like, but functional. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron – UpClose G2 8x40 Binocular – Multi-Coated Optics for Bird Watching, Wildlife, Scenery and Hunting – Porro Prism Binocular for Beginners – Includes Soft Carrying Case - Peterson Field Guide To Birds Of Eastern & Central North America, Seventh Ed.
