I don’t think I have ever been more disappointed with any product. I bought these for a recent trip, and found them to be almost unusable. Granted, I am not a very experienced user of binoculars. However, I’m not sure you should have to be experienced. Should be pretty simple right? Look through them, maybe focus as needed, and stuff that is far away looks bigger right? Not with these. So many adjustments, with no adequate explanation of what the adjustements are for, or how to make them. Something about having to adjust the left eye before focusing both together. Instructions were a joke. Even when I was able to get them properly focused, I found them to be so uncomfortable, that I could barely see through them. HORRIBLE!!! Sold them immediately.

It’s a beautiful gem of a product, but the focus knob is so tight it is impossible to focus with one finger which makes it virtually unusable.

Overall I am happy with these binoculars for the price and I am glad I paid a little extra to get the 10x over the 8x. They are a good set of binoculars if you want something small, compact and light. If you don’t mind something a little heavier and bulkier (and paying a little more) I would get something even more powerful in hindsight. So far I have used them for bird watching out the back window and also at an airshow. They were great for the airshow because they were easy to carry on my belt without being a nuisance. I definitely enjoyed my time at the airshow and better knew what was happening on the ground because of them.

I order this item because of it review in Comsumers Report. I received two of this item instead of one. I returned one within a couple of days. The other one was effective except in one very important area. The eye peices were so small they did not cover my eyes and made it difficult of focus and uncomfortable on the eyes. After using this item at several events, I have returned the binoculars to you. That I did a couple of days ago and you should have them by Feb. 25th. I wish the disadvantage to me was not the case, but it was. Thank you for taking care of my return.
