I needed a compact and light pair of binoculars mainly for birdwatching and general outdoor use. These binoculars were a “Which” best buy and live up to their rating. For the price, I think the binoculars are excellent, the clarity is super even in poor light. Well happy!

These binoculars are such good value for money. The image is bright, which is good for dull days, and they have great resolution, indeed better than many other makes I have tried that cost far more. They are small and light to carry which is a bonus. The only drawback is that they are not waterproof, but then, if they were, they would cost a deal more. However, the best thing about them is the clarity of image. Buy a pair, you’ll be impressed.

These came out well in on-line reviews of small, inexpensive binoculars and seemed excellent value for money. I was extremely happy with them when delivered – extremely sharp even when compared to full sized bins costing far more. No waterproofing or rubber armouring at that price – just good optics.

I bought these for my wife for bird watching. They are excellent. I was dubious about the small objective lense but they are surprisingly bright. The most important thing is that they focus on close objects. Our feeders are within ten feet of the kitchen window and they focus down well below this range unlike cheaper but simillarly specified items.

Bought these binoculars for myself on the strength of the other reviews and have not been disappointed. Very light, easily carried – great little binoculars for the price. Am very happy with them and have now ordered an extra set for my husband.

Bought these for viewing wildlife, and they have been excellent. Lightweight and portable, so you do tend to take them out with you. Quick and easy to focus and good for moving targets.

These binoculars were highly rated in reviews and in Which? recommendations, which rarely fail, and these lived up to their reputation – small, compact yet sturdy, with excellent sharpness once you have mastered the settings. The only reason I didn’t give them five stars is because I found the width setting hard to adjust. Maybe my eyes are too far apart (and yet too-kindfriends have never remarked on this !) but I still haven’t found a width that feels comfortable. Amazon service amazing as always.

‘Which’ gave a very positive report on these binoculars and having thought about buying a pair some time, I decided to take the plunge. This has proved to be an excellent decision and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The binoculars are slightly smaller than I expected, which makes them very easy to carry around and the bright and clear images produced by the high quality lenses really have to be seen to be fully appreciated. If you are thinking of buying binoculars in this price band then these should most certainly be near to, if not at the top of your list of possibilities.

The image is very sharp and quite bright. This is unusual for such small binocs. Like the other reviewer said, scored very well with online reviews by those in the know. Recommended at this price.

After trying out many different pairs of compact binoculars in this price range, I can confidently state that these were the best, and compare favourably to binoculars costing twice as much. They are surprisingly crisp with decent contrast, and a good “snap” to the focus. The only complaint I have is that the maximum distace between the eye pieces is restricted to 70mm, which may be insufficient for those with wide set eyes.
The price on Amazon is not very competitive, and they can be purchased for less if you shop around.
