    I think there is a misunderstanding about these solar binoculars; they aren't for use during a total solar eclipse (totality) when no eye protection is required and you can see the sun's corona and the planets and stars. That's when regular binoculars are useful. They are useful for a solar eclipse event before and after totality when the moon partially blocks the sun. They are also useful any day of the year when the sun is shining. These are far better than regular solar shades because they provide 10x magnification of the sun to really bring out the sunspots.

    I haven’t really used it much. I bought these for the Solar Eclipse but rain the whole day. But I did look through them a few days later and really liked them. Just wish I could’ve seen the eclipse.

    I own a pair of these that I bought elsewhere for the 2023 annular eclipse. They work great and I was able to see the sun perfectly. But the catch is the QA process for these is lacking. They have a habit of shipping these without the lenses properly aligned. That was the problem I ended up with and required performing an exchange. This is a very common issue with these based on other reviews I've read. So you might have to exchange once or twice to get a good set. So make sure you aren't buying these last minute.
