I am very pleased with this purchase. Looking thru it is very clear and easy to see. Also love the small style and case it comes with.
Tasco Essentials 8×21 reviewed
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this binocular for my 9-year old great-grandson, remembering how much my first binoculars meant to me. I was impressed with the quality and the clarity of the image for so inexpensive a binocular. While the limited field may not make these the ideal binoculars for an introduction to birding, they are just fine for seeing what’s on the feeder and beyond.
wonderful

Very good binocular for non-professionals who just want to watch a concert, for example. Fits in your pocket.
Not user-friendly for people who wear glasses
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
According to most of the other reviews, these are a great little pair of binoculars for the money. However, I found it very difficult to get them in focus because I wear glasses. Maybe I just don’t kow how to adjust them properly, but I found them rather inadequate. Better instructions for novice users would have been a lot more helpful. I bought them for use at the opera, but I’m just not sure they will be very helpful.
Best value
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is simply the best tiny binocular that you can buy for under $20. Images are crispy, it is very easy to focus. You can also compensate the difference of vision between your eyes because you can rotate the right eyepiece. Although diameter is only 21mm, I’ve got better images than those that I get with another more expensive binos I have (they are 10×25). Because they are 8×21, images are very stable (when magnification goes higher, for example 10x or 12x it is very easy that with a little movement of your hands the image shakes). The material is also very comfortable and provides a very good grip. With daylight, it performs as well as my 8×42 does, this last being heavier. With less light, images are very acceptable, considering the small objective (21mm). They are also extremely light so you can take them always with you. Very good binoculars. 100% recommended.
nice compact binos for the price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought these binoculars to replace a very similar set of Tasco 8×21 compact binos that I got about 10 years ago – but recently lost while hiking in eastern Arizona. I have larger binos at home, but wanted something very compact and light in weight that could be carried in my pocket or backpack. I ordered this set (Tasco 8×21) as well as a more powerful set of compact binos Barska Lucid 16×32 Compact Binocular (Camouflage) from Amazon. Delivery of both sets was very quick. This Tasco set is quite bright and clear, and the adjustment thumbwheel is tight and accurate. I like this pair for carrying in my pocket while hiking as they are just about right for spotting birds that are in bushes and treetops along the trail. Their small size makes them ideal for carrying in a jacket pocket. They’re also a nice handy set to keep on the table by the window where I watch hummingbird and seed feeders. I rate them 5 stars because, for their compact size and especially at such a low price, they are really quite decent binos.
Great value for quality compact binoculars

These little binoculars are a great value and very well-constructed. I purchased them specifically for concert and theatre use, which they are well-suited for. I wear eyeglasses and find the binoculars compatible with glasses. The binoculars came in a small paperboard box (about 4.25″ x 2.25″). Included are a felt-like carrying case, a neck strap (thin cord) and a lens cleaning cloth. I’m very pleased with the binoculars and plan to purchase more as gifts. They arrived at my door in two days (with free shipping!) with my amazon prime membership.
not ideal for a concert
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
within an hour of using them at a concert, one lens was always out of focus.
These binoculars ae great!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
When I first opened the package I thought the binoculars I had ordered could not be much for they were very small. Much to my surprise, they are very powerful and extremely easy to use. They are small enough to fit in my cmaera case, so now I take both my camera and binoculars with me when I travel, in one easy carry case. I would recommend them to anyone.
Great binoculars for the price!

I bought these binoculars for my granddaughter so she could enjoy birdwatching and exploring on her own. These sure do fit the bill. They’re easy for her small hands to handle and they’re powerful enough to make them really fun to use. We’ve even taken these to the theatre. Again, they are small enough to carry easily and they worked great. I find myself grabbing these for the theatre too. You can’t beat this pair of binoculars for the price.
Great binocs, especially for the price!

These work as advertised. Nice and portable, with clear optics and good focus capability. The 8X power helps to keep handshake to a minimum.
Not bad

I needed a pair of binoculars for bird watching. These were a cheap option with a known brand name. They serve their function well, and you cannot beat the price.
small, efficient, fun

CLear depiction of object viewed. Very small . All prior good reviews were supported. There is a building going up near my job and I can see them working clearly. I intend to take them on my Costa Rica bird watching trip.
Great Stocking Stuffer
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
For the price this can’t be beat. Very solid look and feel for such an inexpensive pair of binoc’s. Granted they are not for everyone, especially those wanting higher magnification. But, they are a wonderful buy and they easily exceed the “You get what you pay for” rule. Only drawback was the case, upon arrival one of the velcro patches was almost falling off. Nothing a little needle and thread didn’t fix.
Great Quality and Value

Brought these with me as a pair of pocket binocs on a trip to Kenya. very durable and everything I was hoping for.
Great for concerts!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
For the price, this is a great little pair of binoculars. I bought them to take to nighttime concerts, and have been very happy with how well I can see the stage under low-light conditions. They are very compact (they fold in), and come in a handy carrying case that can hook onto a belt or slip into a pocket.
