Fragile disappointment!
My 2 year old, not even a yard tall, dropped these in my living room. Didn't even throw them. Now they have a crack and are unusable. Super disappointed! Optics were decent but be super careful. They can't take any impact!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Binos
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2014
Size: A211 8X42Verified Purchase
I purchased these for my mother who is an avid hunter and has been for several years now. The Aculon model is an economically priced model that delivers. These binoculars are very clear and focus tremendously well. I chose the 8x42 set so that they wouldn't be very bulky, and are comfortable to either tote in a pack or wear around the neck while stalking. These are perfectly sized for our type of hunting, which is deer and turkey in mostly forested Alabama. With highline right of ways and very broad gas line right of ways running through our property, these do remarkably well even at only 8 power, viewing game and other wildlife at distances of several hundred yards. 42mm is also a sufficient viewing window, and the eyepieces fit comfortably on your eye sockets(which is a biggie for me, as my focus point is very close and most of the time the eyepiece is against my eye socket). I've hunted for over 20 years and have been through trial and error with optics, but Nikon has yet to disappoint me. I strive for a descent priced set of binoculars but I will not settle for losing clarity, comfort, or quality, and this pair fit my bill perfectly. I would recommend this pair of binoculars to any hunter or outdoorsperson who is looking for a set that is for moderate range (they're not going to pull a buck in for a 20x-zoom close up from 1000 yards to let you count kickers) easy to carry, clear, easy to focus, comfortable, and economically priced.

I didn't have lots to spend and feel I got my money's worth. Pros were clear viewing (good for bird watching, I think). Con would be the weight, but I just got a sling holder to take the weight off my neck. And I found a way to use gimp (my granddaughters black lace stuff) and hooked the 2 bottom eye covers because I figured I'd lose them otherwise...now I'm set and it works great. Took it on 2 hour bird walk. Just don't get it if you want something smaller and lighter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bang for the buck!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2016
Size: A211 8X42Verified Purchase
Love these binoculars! I have a pair or old Fuji marine binoculars that are highly regarded from a optical and build standpoint, but i recently became interested in watching all the wildlife in our yard and using them for that wasn't very enjoyable because each eyepiece has to be focused separately which isn't very practical for that purpose. I didn't want to invest a lot of money and so I purchased these based on the positive reviews I read as they seemed to have lots of bang for the buck. I'm happy to report that these don't disappoint!! The image through these is colorful, contrasty and very sharp... best of all, they're very easy to focus quickly as creatures move around the yard which makes them vey enjoyable to use. Also they allow you to focus on things that are fairly close to you which is nice as well as the more I sit in my yard, the less shy the birds become and sometimes they're quite close! Build quality seems very nice, definitely not built like a tank, but for normal use I think you'd be hard pressed to break them. Buy them, you won't regret it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars They're very easy to use
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016
Size: A211 8X42Verified Purchase
These just arrived today, so I'm writing this based upon first impressions.

They're very easy to use. The focus responds well and the detail and depth of field is excellent. They're well constructed and fit comfortably in my hands, but they are not water proof, so bear that in mind if you plan to use them out in the field on iffy weather days. They are a wee bit heavy, but these aren't pocket sized, so no real surprises there. The clarity and brightness is outstanding for binoculars in this price category. I told my Husband that I could probably spot a small bug walking on the ground from 40 feet away with these binoculars. This afternoon I used them to watch a the little Pine Warbler that's been visiting our garden, it was great to be able to see him in detail, and it was very easy to follow him with the wider view range. Thus far I am very pleased with these and do not regret my purchase.

Have used a friend's binocs and that is why we ordered them. They seem to stay in focus when passed to another person and also it seems that they don't have to be refocused a lot when another person uses them!
And really like that they are great for closeup viewing. We really think you get a lot of quality for a good price and definitely recommend them!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good for the price but one issue.
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020
Size: A211 8X42Verified Purchase
I bought a pair of Celestron 10x50s last week and they gave me a headache. I couldn’t get them focused correctly, it didn’t have twist up eye ups and only the center of the image was somewhat clear. Bought these 8x42 Nikons (I have had many Nikon dslrs over the years and loved them) to compare to the $40 Celestrons. First these are a little smaller but seem to be around the same weight. The image is much,much better than the Celestrons. They focus great, the image is brighter and they don’t give me a headache. The Nikons have twist up eye cups and this works much better if I use them with my glasses compared to the rubber flip kind on cheap binoculars. Now onto my biggest issue. I can see what looks like a strand of plastic in the top left corner looking through the left eyepiece. You have to look for it but when I see it, it bothers me knowing it’s inside and no way of getting it out. I might replace these because of the visible plastic strand I can see but not sure as they are already much better than the Celestron 10x50s. I wish manufacturers had better quality control. These would have been 5 stars if it didn’t have the plastic strand in the one eyepiece. In the end I would still recommend them as the image is great!
