" ... Perfect small size and weight for vacation travel. ... "
" ... I will be buying my hunting friends these for backcountry trips- but them, they are amazing despite their low cost! ... "
" ... I wanted them to see the horizon at the beach and look at distant boats. ... "

" ... Did a non-scientific comparison of these with my Nikon Aculon 8 X 42, a heavier, bulkier pair, which I like for their quality and price. ... OPTICS: good, very close with maybe the clarity slightly better with my Nikon's. ... "
" ... Just follow the directions for focusing correctly. ... "
" ... I wear glasses and the ability to fold down the lens covers were a great feature. ... "
" ... Bought these for hunting season and I wasn't able to spend the price of Zeiss. ... "
" ... On amazon you will see several of these porro prism compact binoculars that look deceptively similar to one another. ... The OCCER 12x25 compact binoculars is different in a good way. ... Surprisingly, the eyepieces are adjustable and the eye lenses are larger. ... I was not able to find similar style binoculars that had adjustable eye pieces and larger eye lenses that were below $35.00. ... "
" ... Pretty good lenses on these considering the price ... "
" ... There's no Infra Red Night Vision stuff, but the lenses are bright enough, so what you see through the lenses are as bright as what you see with your eyes. ... "
" ... These come packaged with lense covers and a canvas storage case. ... "

" ... Could use a better strap. ... "
" ... Since they haven’t done any of the other things promised (good in low light, comfortable, good optics, easy to use ) I won’t leave them out just in case it rains because I’m pretty sure they won’t be waterproof as advertised. ... "
" ... These binoculars are very easy to hold in one hand and I found that it was easy to use either my right hand or left hand and not tire from holding them. ... "
" ... They are fairly light, but what heft they do have makes them feel solid. ... "
" ... I purchased the Op/Tech E-Z neoprene neck strap for optimal comfort. ... "
" ... A big factor in binoculars is comfort in the hands and against the face - These lost out to comparable Bushnells, so they had to go back. ... "
" ... After they figured out how to use them, they loved them. ... "
" ... Or you can leave them around your neck because they are lightweight. ... I do wear glasses and I had no problem at all using them with my glasses on. ... "
