First, I am a very beginner to binoculars, so I don’t have anything to commment on spec matter. I just received the item from the seller(OneCall). It was promptly shipped via overnight.
When I first tried the binocular, I was impressed. I ordered this binocular for mainly indoor use, and it fit my need perfectly. Although I have some complaints about design of the carrying case, I am overall satisfied with the item.
Now, THE PROBLEM is the FedEx. The FedEx delivery driver left the package at the wrong door! I live in apartment complex, and each door has label of unit number written nicely in Arabic numerals. There was also my unit number clearly printed on the package’s address label, and he still left the package in front of wrong door. What a joke. Couldn’t he read even Arabic numerals? How did he find his job!?

Good quality view. I find the price a bit high considering the limited capability of these binoculars. The image quality is good but the magnification is limited for celestial work. For terrestrial viewing my kids love them. My kids find them easy to hold but a bit fiddly to focus. My kids like the “cool” shape of them. Overall a pretty decent value.

Small, compact, lightweight, perfect for hiking. Living where wildlife and birds are in abundance, these handy binoculars are essential for viewing up close. These are close range binoculars, so you won’t be able to view things too far away. At Amazon’s current price, these are a steal.

I purchased the binoculars after reading the reviews on the internet.
I checked in a few stores and read a couple of magazines that advertised
the item. The binoculars were a Christmas gift for a talented 12 year old.
The binoculars were just what I wanted as to size,quality, and price.
They made a great gift.
