Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just OK. A little difficult to align. Made the sun look white for some reason. Preferred the cheap cardboard glasses.

Purchased these for the total solar eclipse which we viewed in Casper, WY. These were perfect. Compact enough and provided a lot of detail when viewing the eclipse. Even when using for just viewing the sun on any day could see quite a bit including sun spots and solar flares. Well worth the money.

During the recent Full Eclipse, used these binoculars to view the sun. Spotted 3 sun spots, and the view of the eclipse was spectacular. Would recommend for anyone interested in solar observation!

If you missed the solar eclipse don't worry, you will get another chance. Buys these early

Bought it for the solar eclipse. Hard to look through and find the sun. Disappointed.

They did not work had to take them back to Bestbuy. They could not get them to work either.

There was no 0 start hence sticking to 1. This Item was Bought for eclipse and did not work, Trying to return it, I missed the 15 days return window as I was out of City and then returned sick.

Not user friendly. Confusing when it needsadjusting

This was not what I was expecting. I knew they were eclipse binoculars, but I thought they could also be used as regular binoculars as well. That is not the case. Even during the eclipse, it was difficult to find the sun. I had better luck with $5 eclipse glasses. They are not worth $35 for just when there is an eclipse. I take responsibility for not reading the information carefully. Luckily, Best Buy allowed me to return them. Love the myBestBuy program!!

Despite reading reviews that complained about diopter adjustment failure I bought these anyway for 1200 mile trip to view 2017 Eclipse in Oregon. Sure enough when I went to use them the diopter adjustment failed. I don't know if the rubber slipped or ??? Next time I will pay more attention to reviews.

Bestbuy will bot allow return. Paper solar glasses worked better.

Read other reviews that expressed issues with diopter adjustment and.... they were correct. Offered replacement but I said for what...almost ruined my eclipse trip and next one isn’t until 2019 in south america.

poor quality not advisable to buy this product. do not recommend.

Contrary to the description, you may be surprised how hard it is to find the sun with binoculars when you can't see anything but the sun! Likewise getting both eyepieces lined up and in focus is a little more challenging than when using normal binoculars - although viewing the image with one eye is really good enough. The image is good - you can see big sunspots with the 10x magnification. In my opinion it's simpler and safer to project the image of the sun using binoculars, spotting scope, or even a simple "pinhole" camera, whatever you have on hand. You can look at the projected image as long as you like and see the sun at least as well or better.

worked great for the eclipse much clearer than a pair of protective glasses

Worked great to waitch the eclipse! Affordable! No complaints!

Great for solar eclipses especially in areas where itmay be more difficult to see

Took them out into the Arizona sun and a very large sunspot was easily seen and resolved. A bit tricky to line up the small exit pupil, thought they were defective at first as I was getting all black. TIP: Get one eyepiece on the sun and then adjust width until the second one comes into view.

Good product at a fair price. These are eclipse viewing binoculars only.
