    Purchased these for hunting use. Great field of view but it does take some adjusting if wearing glasses. Liked the sale price.

    These are my first binoculars, and I'm very happy with them so far. They're a nice size and come with a strap and pouch. I had to watch a few tutorials, but calibrating the lenses is easy now that I have the hang of it. So far, they've been very effective for birdwatching in my neighborhood during daytime and dusk, showing an impressive amount of detail! A great value.

    Great binoculars for an amateur birdwatcher. I got these for my husband for his birthday and he loves them. They're so much better than any of the cheap-o binoculars we've always had. We can watch birds in our backyard and on hikes with much more clarity. I read lots of reviews and for my price range, these were the clear winner.

    Brought it along to our vacation in Kenya/Tanzania and worked great. Super clear, water resistant and rugged. Perfect for our safari and rough terrain we encountered getting into the bush and hard to reach areas. Not a budget pair but worth the price paid ($100 on sale).

    I thought I would stick with Nikon since I’m a Nikon shooter and they don’t disappoint, the quality is Excellent and View is very clear I use these when I am shooting pictures of wildlife so that I don’t have to keep the camera up to my face all the time .

    We were looking for binoculars to bird-watch in our backyard and at the local park. We did some on line research and this was one of the higher-rated models for quality & features. We have enjoyed using this from the day we purchased it. We highly recommend it.

    I bought these binoculars for my daughter to use. She loves them. They are cheap enough that I don't have to worry if they get messed up, but good enough quality to work well in the woods. Construction feels good and they should last a while.

    Bought these before a cruise to Alaska and very happy. Good sharp detail in 50-100 yards and enough detail for general viewing at 400 yards. Light weight for size. Lens cap setup is awkward but minor problem. Found easier to use with glasses off

    Once you have it adjusted to your eyes, the clarity and zoom are great, Nikon knows Lens, if your not familiar with Nikon already they make scopes, cameras, binoculars in the highest quality
