BARSKA 10x25 Compact Waterproof Binocular (Yellow)

I don't understand the negative reviews others have given this product! They are solid, well-made binoculars with good lenses. They are hefty without being too heavy, the grip feels good in the hand, the focus ring works well, and they seem to be well made. Yes, the "neckstrap" is just a string, but So What? They are the perfect size to put in a purse or a backpack and the focus is much sharper than I expected.To the person who mentioned that the binoculars "Doesn't appear to have a left eye adjustment"...you obviously don't know how to use the diopter on binoculars: Close your RIGHT eye, while looking through your left eye, adjust the focus as you would normally . Then, close your LEFT eye and DO NOT ADJUST THE FOCUS. There is an adjustment ring around the viewfinder for the RIGHT EYE. With your left eye closed, look with your right and use the diopter to adjust the focus. Then, when you open BOTH eyes, the focus is perfectly adjusted. Since everyone's eyes are different, each user will have to adjust them for their own use. But that is standard with all binoculars, no matter what the price. I think the focus and the clarity are great for a $25 product! I'm very happy with them.

These seem really nice. I didn't completely unwrap them, just took them out of the box they came in & checked them for any damage, because they are a gift for my 11 yr old grandson. They are a nice size & easy to take along. PLEASE NOTE: In the ad & writeup they do NOT show the carry case with strap & belt loop that comes with them ! Had I known that, it would have saved me about $18 bucks ! I also ordered the Steiner small Binobag for them and didn't even NEED it That was an unnecessary expense & an overkill on the size bag, but I wanted a case for them and NO mention of any case was in the Barska info, (unlike the compact pink binocs I also ordered at the same time). Compare that case to the one that comes with this Barska, it's about the same. It's a nice set the way it comes, so don't waste your money thinking you need to order a case (from another Amazon distributor). And it costs too much to send the case back, easier to try to find some use for it, or put it in the garage sale. I only gave it 4 stars because it cost me another $18 due to the write up.

Great lightweight binoculars, I use them almost daily when taking walks around the lake, or in the backyard, for viewing wildlife. Excellent field of view and magnification for small animals, birds, raptors. Easily adjustable. Comfortable eyepieces. I like the yellow color, can find them easily when needed.Only drawbacks are:1) the thin shoe-string neck strap is not comfortable on the neck, need to run the strap under the collar for padding. I tend to keep the binoculars in the case strapped to my belt instead of hanging them around my neck. The case has a sewn-on belt strap and Velcro closure top.2) the black hand grips peeled off partially, I used a few dabs of gorilla glue to glue them back down.Overall, I'm pleased with the function of the binoculars, great value for the price. Would have rated them 5 stars if not for the drawbacks mentioned above.

These binoculars work well and were a good purchase.Item is slightly heavier than expected, and the strap is on the thin/uncomfortable side. I am thinking about replacing the strap and arranging it so that it is connected to the case (so it doesn't get lost).The case is nice. The magnification is as expected. You do need to make sure they are sized well for your eyes, so you don't get too much black area on the sides. I have used these, but bought them for my daughter (6 years old). She can use them fine and likes them, and they can be adjusted to fit her eyes, so she can see well out of them.The price is fine.They seem sturdy, and I like the grips on them. I cannot yet comment on the waterproof part of them or how well they will hold up. I will update if anything changes. Overall, a decent purchse.

Good heft - meaning man lenses but not heavy. Great size for small backpack when on the trail. I have more powerful binoculars but they are expensive. Wanted these for out of country travel. If they get damaged, stolen or lost the cost is low to replace. Power is great. Tried them on a short trip to Pipestem State Park in WV. Sat on a bench and used them to see across the canyon. Setting the diopter made a big difference. Can use them with eyeglasses with fit over sunglasses but the field of view is small. I like using them without my glasses which gives a great/somewhat large field. The power is great - saw the WV Turnpike across that canyon and a cluster of cell phone towers not visible without the binocular. Not just for kids/teens - great for any adult who wants a less expensive but GOOD, portable pair of binoculars.

I bought these binoculars because of a review I read on Amazon written by someone who bought them for the same purpose I was going to use them for - a cruise to Alaska. That reviewer was extremely happy with them, so I decided to buy a pair for my trip. As it turns out, I wasn't as happy as he was with the product. I wish I had spent more and gotten a pair with a much wider field of view. These had two problems from my perspective:1. The eyepieces would not adjust wide enough for me to get a good view from both eyes. Maybe I've just got a big head.2. Field of view was tiny.I sometimes forget that you usually get what you pay for. I bought these at a bargain price. Wish I'd spent more to get what I really needed.To be fair, they are an OK product at a very good price. No complaints as far as value is concerned - I just needed a higher end pair.

As advertised great little pair of Binoculars, would recommend it to anyone.Mark, Vancouver, BC Canada

These look pretty, but the quality, and optics are very poor. Returned disappointed.
