Celestron 71232 UpClose G2 10 x 25 Roof Binocular, Black

COMPACT, light weight, fits in back pocket of jeans, these are the binoculars you will carry around with you because they're small but powerful, adjusts to fit large and small faces like kids, easy focus ring, quality is not consistent with price, these are way better than their under $20.00 price tag, GOOD close focus distance, GOOD light gathering during stargazing. You can buy better optics with higher quality glass but if you don't bring them because they're bulky, heavy, too valuable to damage while living life what good are they? The best binoculars are the ones you actually take with you

Of course this binocular is not the best available. That would be an unrealistic expectation at this price point. However, I was very surprised at the quality of the optics. The main negative is the sloppy and finicky focusing mechanism. However, once focused it is surprisingly good for something so inexpensive. The carrying 'strap' is just string glued to the binocular so no way to easily exchange for something better. Overall, recommend for someone that doers not have a lot of money to spend and needs a pocketable (it truly fits in a jacket pocket) binocular or one that fits on a belt for occasional use. It seems well made but I cannot advise on longevity as only had it a short while.

I needed a really lightweight and compact pair of binoculars for hiking and travel. The problem is that I have a relatively large head and my eyes are pretty far apart. Most compact binoculars don't spread out wide enough so that both eyes can see through the lenses.I also didn't want to spend a lot of money. When I saw a review on a respected web magazine endorsing this product, I decided to give it a try...THE ROSES: Very light and compact with folded, but they can spread out to accommodate even people with wide-set eyes like me (as a matter of fact, at full extension they're even wider than my eye spread)! Surprisingly good-quality optics for this price point. Moving parts (hinges, adjustable lens) feel smooth and solid. Nice quality case. Eye cups are easily folded down for glasses wearers, but how durable they are over time remains to be seen. Carrying case is of good quality.THE THORNS: The neck lanyard isn't removable. It's just a cheap string (well, if you have to skimp anywhere, this is a reasonable place to do it). If you don't like it, you just have to cut it off and do without. No lens covers (but to be fair, I have a set of Nikon compact binoculars and I'm perpetually misplacing the included lens covers, so perhaps it's all for the better?).THE VERDICT: At $25, these binoculars punch well above their price point. I purchased them in a bundle here on Amazon which included a 10x25 monocular for $40, which is an even better value if you can find it.Recommend.

Seems cheap

Performs better than expected !!

Look, it's a twenty dollar pair of binoculars, it's well worth twenty dollars. Sure, the strap sucks, and it's no Nikon optically, but for twenty bucks there's no better binoculars out there.
