Decent cheap optics, but focus problems are a pain
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I bought these for deer hunting a couple of years ago because they were inexpensive, small and had decent magnification. The size and the price were the main draw, and I knew that I would was not buying an excellent set of binoculars. My usual range for viewing is 75 – 150 yards, and these work well in that range. They work well enough in low light conditions, but I’m sure that more expensive models do a much better job.
For my two main needs – spotting animals and then judging the quality of the antlers – they do okay. But, for counting points on antlers I find that I have to brace them against a staionary rest. If I don’t, then the involuntary shaking caused by breathing, my heartbeat and muscle movement makes it very difficult to do if I just hold them freehand.
The major detractor with these glasses is the continual need to refocus. In my experience the right lens always has to be refocused whenever I adjust the glasses as a unit. And they seem to get out of focus quite easily whenever I’m just handling them. It’s for that reason alone that I am now researching my next purchase of a different set of binos.
Good Buy

This was a great bargain for a mid range pair of binoculars and my son has enjoyed using them.

The shipping is very quick. But the product is kind of hurting my eyes when using it.
Great Binoculars
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
These are the best binoculars that I own and I have several pairs. You can’t beat the power, clear bright view and the compact design.
TERRIBLE
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
First, I wished I had checked the reviews before purchasing! I have owned other Bushnell Binoculars, but these are by far the worst I have used. I took an Alaska trip and nearly every time I used the binoculars it was necessary to re-focus both lenses. I would not recommend these at all, there are many better pairs of binoculars on the market for a comparable price.
Light and Powerful
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This piece is really light and very powerful. This be best for bright conditions.
Binoculars – Bushnell folding
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
It takes just a little bit of adjusting to get it focused but it is fine for me to use whenever I need it.
Good and Bad
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Trying to watch herons in the water at 200-300 yards was a challenge. It was impossible to hold them steady enough. On the other hand they did a great job on ducks and 15 yards…You could count the feathers…. Clearly need good light… Mine went back and I’ll probably go to a 10x or maybe a 12x
Basic Binoculars, reasonable price, sufficient power
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Bought these binoculars to be able to get a better look at the blimps, hot air balloons, and birds from my home, but also needed something to get a better view of the far end zone at Giant’s Stadium. Nothing elaborate about these binoculars, but perfect for my needs.
Poor Quality
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
By far the worst pair of binoculars I have ever used. Appeared to have been assembled with dirt already in the lens. Did not focus well and needed to be constantly refocused. Useless binoculars. Sending them back for refund!
Experienced Only
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I found these Binoculars to be well worth the money & a bargin at that! They are of excellent quality for the money. These are not for weekend bird watchers, short range hunters, shakey handed people, or boaters. They are excellent for long range posted hunters, during legal hunting hours on non running game. If you can’t steady these, your not gonna hit what your aiming at anyway. I wear eyeglasses and focusing without use of my glasses excellent. The only improvement would be a stand attachment for use at the range, but this could effect the compactness of this item. P.S Hunt safely & know your back stop!
Don’t Buy Bushnell Powerview 16×32 Compact With Folding Roof Prism Binocular
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
As with most of the other less favorable reviews, these were a major disappointment. Binoculars means two lens to view with for a better view. Unfortunately, these are not real Bushnell’s or maybe they’re second-hand or something because one lens wouldn’t focus no matter what we tried,and we’ve use other Bushnell binoculars that have no problems! I found out after receipt of the product that the seller wasn’t actually Bushnell, but some third party. I tried to contact them three times, but they never responded. I would not recommend this buyer or product to anyone.
