Don't expect this to be more than you pay for, it's a 30-35 dollar lens for a very specific task which is looking at the sun during an eclipse. For that they work perfectly, the blocking portion is a pair of two darkening lenses. These are removable, but it isn't recommended. They do bring the sun in to larger than the naked eye would perceive, and you can see the edge clearly.

They worked as I had hoped, I can find sun spots and was able to observer the recent annular eclipse quite easily.

it works well, good quality and easy to use! I will use on the next solar eclipse.

Worked incredible!!! Watched the sunset here in New Mexico with these things.

It was very hard to even know if we were seeing what we wanted to see. We bought them for the eclipse and I got more enjoyment using a pin hole in a box method to view the eclipse. Maybe we just did it wrong but that just speaks to the product not being bery user friendly. They feel very well made and sturdy thats why I gave it 2 stars but disappointed for why we bought them.

They are relatively small compared to other binoculars I've owned, and thus a little tricky to spot what you're looking for (e.g. the sun). Bought for the "Great American Eclipse" and they worked as one would expect. However, note that they are ONLY good for solar viewing; i.e. they aren't regular bi's with a filter. Filter is built-in so it's the sun or nutt'n.

Like millions of Americans, I was excited to see the total solar eclipse in August of 2017. I thought the binoculars were a great buy for the price and would offer me a unique view of the event that I may never see again. Honestly, I had trouble lining up the sun with my gaze through the binoculars and I ended up just using my Solar glasses for most of my viewing, but I'm glad I go the binoculars and I did find the sun once and it was pretty cool.

I bought these solar filtered binoculars for the 2017 total eclipse of the sun. The EclipSmart 10x25 binoculars provided a good view of the sun during the partial eclipse phases of the event. They are also good for looking at sun spots.

Used these during the solar eclipse and they worked well. Took a bit of time to locate the sun with these though. When you look through them you'll have to move them around until you see a white circle which is the sun. Great being able to say I witnessed the solar eclipse in my lifetime without eye damage

Viewed the 2017 eclipse with these. Great size. Was able to see sunspots.

We used these to look at the solar eclipse and it was amazing

Very good for its intended use. Useless for anything else.

These binoculars have a unique and very specific use; safely view the sun. They allow the user to do just that, and that alone. When viewing the sun with them during the total eclipse, which I observed at the Buffalo Ranch in WY, I was able to clearly see the sun spots on the sun at the time. These binoculars are that good. I caution that care must be taken when adjusting, using and focusing as you're looking at the sun while focusing and if you break the seal and expose your eyes; the sun is right there. BE CAREFUL!

I bought this in anticipation of the eclipse. I was not disappointed. They were an adjunct to the eclipse glasses we all used. One could even see sunspots on the surface of the sun.

These were very useful during the recent solar eclipse. Especially since finding glasses was impossible. Very useful and enjoyable since the eclipse as well.

Idk… i cant see anything with these. I got them to view the eclipse, but missed it because of work. Idk if they work or not.

I used these binoculars for the solar eclipse in Salem Oregon and they performed excellent. I could even see sun spots on the sun. Worth the price

Got these for an eclipes party on my sons birthday. He and others said they worked great. I couldn't see anything but black. But i have. Binocular vision disorder- so pretty sure thats why lol

Read instructions! You will only see the sun as a low glowing ball. Watching the solar eclipse was very interesting. The sun appears small.

I purchased this to see solar flares but I could not spot anything easily. Otherwise good for terrestrial use. Need to calibrate this first after removing the solar filter before first use.
