WOW, excellent well worth the money
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I originally bought a chaep binoculars at at neigbourhood store just for fun, after playing around with it and looking at neighbours and occasionally the night sky , i decided this might be an interesting hobby so decided to look around for a better model, came on amazon and read the reviews for the falcon 10×20 binoculars, and ordered it, boy was i pleasantly surprised, what a difference compared to the cheap one i had before, images are crisp and clear and the focus lever is very smooth and easy to operate, well worth the money. i now spend time looking at the night sky and this does a good job of viewing stars and stuff on a clear night.

Avoid These for Several Reasons
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Buying these are like buying a cheap bike. They’ll probably stay in your drawer and quash any interest you have in either viewing celestial or terrestrial (or in some cases, telestial) objects. In short, these binocs will probably last at least a lifetime because they’re so poor in rendering a respectable image. Seriously, buy a NIKON. You won’t regret it. Also, if the people who gave these binocs a good review knew what they were buying, they wouldn’t be buying entry level Bushnell binocs.

There are so many things going on when binoculars are focusing an image, things like chromatic aberration. Colors focus at slightly different points and a good lens has to bring them all together into one crisp image. The best way to see what I’m talking about is by picking up a pair of these binocs and then comparing them directly with a decent pair. Now please realize, even NIKON isn’t considered GREAT, just decent. To get GREAT optics, plan on spending six or seven hundred clams, and more than a grand for super-photo quality optics. But, as with bicycles and everything else, there is usually a point of diminishing marginal return somewhere along the way. The basic rule of thumb is to NOT TO BUY CHEAP. If your binocs have Busruby-coated lenses, run, don’t walk away from them! (These Bushnells aren’t that bad, but your eyes deserve crisp, contrasty images, and with these binocs, you’ll find yourself first focusing and then refocusing, vainly trying to find that sweet spot of clarity that never comes.)

So what are you doing still reading this? Point your mouse to a NIKON or try to find a pair of these used. You should be able to find them cheap.

Best item for the Best price
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this binocular to my cousin. I found this after going through many online shopping sites and reading the review of binoculars online. This Binocular is very stable and the best part is the lens cap and the binocular case which came along with this.

The only thing with which i was disappointed is user manual which is not clear for the first time user.

Overall I am satisfied by the item and its shipping.

These binoculars are great. I couldn’t really ask for anything more in this price range. Optics and build quality are great.

Bushnell Falcon 10×50 Wide Angle Binoculars
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Now these are a great pair of Binoculars for the price. They are heavy, Rubber coated for better non slip grip and they are tough! The focus is sharp and clear too! They adjust well and the image fills in the lenses, which helps prevent eyestrain. These glasses are very good for spying and keeping an eye on your neighborhood block watches. Especially during these rough times.

There glasses are a must purchase!

Great Binoculars for the money
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I found these after I Looked up the best rated (cheap) binoculars on a website dedicated to binoculars. Got these from Amazon for $30, and they are great.

What a steal!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I paid $29 for these binoculars. Locally in stores they were twice that much. I’m giving them five stars because I think they’re great value for the money. The lens caps are cheap, the case is a bit cheap too. But the binocs themselves are awesome. Great view, easy to focus, and no distortion when looking at landscapes. I looked at Jupiter a few nights ago, and had just the slightest trace of optical aberration. I could just make out the 4 big satellites and I live in the suburbs of a major city. I can’t wait to look again when I’m out in the middle of nowhere.

Exceeds Expectation (Which Were Somewhat High)
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Bushnell does it again. These binoculars are incredible, especially at this price. I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting the greatest, but being an optimist, I assumed Amazon.com wouldn’t sell me something for $25 that seemed of $25 or lower value.

The binoculars are not only what they say they are, but also of sturdy construction and quality with a tilt focus instead of the cheaper knobs you sometimes see. (This means you can change the focus without having to run your finger along a knob, shaking your view as it focuses.) It comes with a strap and a bag, too.

The lens caps are a little loose on the eye pieces, but that’s what the bag is for. Honestly, I intend to look through these more than I’ll need eye piece caps anyway. The ones on the lens side are tight, though.

In the way of extra notes, these do fog up if you get really, really sweaty, (was working out when these came in the mail) but I should hope I don’t bird watching or star gazing, as these are ideal, especially with the 50mm lenses for extra light.

Overall, I gave this unit 5 out of 5 because it far exceeds what you’d get out of $25 anywhere else and is more than suited for the tasks I have purchased them for. Good job again, Amazon.com!

Ever try checking your roof shingling with out getting on a latter? These babies do the job without breaking a sweat… This product makes life more interesting, just about everything in the great outdoors look more wonderous.

Amazing!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Disregard the people who are wishing for a $300.00 pair of binoculars for $28.00! These binoculars are amazing; powerful, easy focus, truly amazing and all for $28.00!!

If you are looking for an excellent quality binocular that rivals those going for $150.00 these are your nocs.

Buy with confidence!

Ignore the other reviews, this item is horrible
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
All of the positive reviews really fooled me on this one.

First, the item came pre-broken. One of the magnifying end-tubes was detached. After screwing it back on I discovered that something else was broken inside of the binnoculars causing a terrible rattle. So I sent it back for a refund. Oh yeah, and it was horribly packed and the US portal service had it for a week.

But that isn’t the reason I am providing negative feedback. The thing is all plastic, and not the good kind. The image provided is small and grainy – probably due to the plastic optics. The people giving positive reviews of the image quality have apparently never even used a moderately good pair of binnoculars. I am not talking about expensive binnocs, the cheapest thing that Nikon makes will blow these away. These are essentially a toy and I can see why Amazon has dropped the price so low.

Nice set of binoculars that produce a nice clear image for the novice user and the price is right. Unfortunately the lens covers are not attached so losing them is just a matter of time. It would have gotten another star if it had a mounting screw hole for my tripod since I’m using them for star gazing and they are a little bulky.

Excellent Value
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My husband and I purchased two pairs of these binoculars for a summer cmaping trip in Yellowstone N.P. The binoculars served us well in a wide range of animal sitings from various distances and were able to endure use by three young boys (ages 6, 8 and 13) passing them around in the car and carrying them on hikes. We’ve had no problem with parts breaking; however, the lens caps do not always fit quite right and tend to fall off.

Decent for Cheap Binoculars
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I’ve had these binoculars for three years now. I bought them for hunting and they have been worth the money. On the other hand, if you can spend more for binoculars you probably should. I’m finally in the market for new ones and I compared them to two binoculars in the $125-$200 range, the Nikon Trailblazer and the Leupold Acadia. Here’s some notes on the differences:

1. The Bushnell Falcons have terrible eye-relief. I wear glasses and I need glasses to correct double vision, and with the Bushnell Falcons, I lose a lot of field of view because of the poor eye relief. With the Nikon and Luepold models, the eye relief is huge,and my glasses make no difference. I have full field of view both ways.

2. Without glasses, the Bushnell Falcons have acceptable field of view. The Nikon and Leupold models have much better field of view.

3. The glass is better on the Leupold and Nikon. Images are clearer and crisper.

4. The Bushnell Falcons are heavy. Carrying them around on your neck all day is a pain in the, um, neck.

5. The focus controls on the Bushnell Falcon are good. The adjustable eyepiece is ok, but I find that it moves too easily and I have to adjust it every time I bring the binoculars up for use.

If you can afford better binoculars, then get them. The Bushnell Falcon is good for the cost if you don’t want to spend more.

Very nice!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Man, for the price it is one decent piece of equipment for my modest needs of occasional tourist. It also got some tough treatment and withstood it heroically. It is sharp enough for me. If you need a binocular of the size for general field trip where kids and other people who do not care too much about gentle optics will use it, it is one you wish to buy. On other hand, if you know binoculars and expect top performance you need something more refined. For a general, not fancy, public it is awesome buy!
