Average Rating: 
Rating: - Very Good, especially for their size!
I bought these for my wife last year to use on a big trip she was taking - she loved them, and thought that they were very easy to use, and provided excellent clarity. The optics are clearly superior to cheaper alternatives that you'd find at Wal-mart or Target, but you won't find that the magnification is any better than the cheaper ones. For the money, I thought these were worth the premium.

My son used the binoculars to view the night sky and was very surprised at what he could see with them. He is an astronomer so knows the sky and what he wants to find. He's very pleased. Next he'll use them at the San Francisco Symphony when he sits up high in the cheaper seats.

Rating: - Never knew binoculars could be so good!
After ridding myself of the cheapy binoculars that I had for years, I decided to dive in and get some "good" ones. Well, I was pleasantly surprised that these went way beyond good. These binoculars are fabulous. Everybody should have a pair like these!!
Rating: - Small but mighty!
These binoculars are small and weigh very little, but they are quality!! Although they don't magnify as much as I would like, it sure beats lugging around the large binoculars that I also own.
