4 out of 5 stars Great power, good value.   November 10, 2008
I bought these binocs for casual use, and they're great for that! I leave them in the side of my hiking bag... they're light and take up barely any room. 12x power is very nice for such a compact design. Optics are good but not amazing. For $20, these are unbeatable value.


4 out of 5 stars Good product for price   October 31, 2008
Actually I was pleasantly suprised by the quality of the product.
I had very low expectations for $20 dollar binocular.
Only problem I have with this is 12x magnification. I should have bought 10x... or 8x. I don't have shaky hands but everything that you look at, shake so much it hurts my eyes after using more than 5 minutes at a time.



4 out of 5 stars I CAN SEE!!!   October 22, 2008
I "flag" sports car races (stand on the side of a road course race track and communicate with drivers using flags). As I have improved (aged), it has become more difficult to see winnie little car numbers from a distance. My 10 year old Bushell 8x21 compact binoculars had taken MANY headers to the ground, been rained on (yeah, sports cars race in the rain) and generally been neglected (why should they be any different from me). They finally gave up the ghost. The new 12x25's REALLY pull in the car numbers VERY WELL. They are very well constructed and adjust easily, however they seem to need re-adjusting each time, but that may be just me. At $19.95 ... well, I AM VERY PLEASED !!!

ps My new binoculars took their first tumble last weekend (their 3rd race and it WAS raining), and "kept on tickin".



5 out of 5 stars Exceeded expectations. Improved product.   October 4, 2008
I bought one of these about 4 years ago, after being mugged. I use this sports binocular to see street signs and stoplights. I am prone to falling and I am VERY hard on this poor device.

I didn't realize how badly my old binocular was in need of replacement, until the new one arrived. They have really improved this product in the last 4 years.

This binocular is rugged, easy to adjust and performs as advertized. You can't beat the price either. Really nice item.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Binoculars at the BEST price!   September 15, 2008
I purchased a cheaper pair of unknown binoculars at Big 5 before buying these. These Bushnell binoculars work perfectly!! Images are super clear especially for concerts at night (even from the lawn!!). I would definitely buy these again especially at this price!! Other unknown brands are crap - pay the measly $[...] extra for these quality binocs!
