I recently purchased these binoculars and I also own another pair that I bought at a much higher price. I have to say, these are better than my $50 binocs! Great stability combines with wide viewing area and easy focus to create the best binoculars I've ever used! This is an easy purchase, a must buy!

I got one of these binoculars for Christmas and these are more powerful than another pair i had from a diffrent company. Bushnell is a trusted and powerful name in the binocular business and this model is small compact and very powerful for its size and price. The only gripe i have about it is that it there are two things you half to use to adjust the focus, so in other words one could be fuzzy when the other is clear, making the view a little distorted, but overall this is a great pair of binoculars by a trusted name, Bushnell.

Amazing binocs for the price.... for 3x the price.... very light, very small, perfect for any events, even indoors since they are the smallest binocs I have ever seen, and I have seen dozens.... well worth the money... easy to focus wheel. Highly recommended. One of my few five-star product reviews.

After using standard size binoculars for years, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use of these compact binoculars. I plan to take them on my next birdwatching outing and I'm sure the minimal weight will be appreciated.

These easily fit in a pocket next to a cell phone, or with the included case strap to a belt. I used these for game viewing in Africa and was not disappointed; got me close to the action and were never a hassle to lug around or take out. For the money, these are a great value.

I actually bought these binoculars for a Justin Timberlake concert my son and I were going to. Having ok seats and not wanting to carry around a bulky, high powered pair, I purchased these binoculars. For the price, they really, really served it's purpose. It folds nicely and fits into any pocket or since it's lightweight, you can easily put it in the pouch provided and wear it around your neck.

This is a solid piece of optical quality. I ordered it for my Dad for a gift and have thought about keeping it (kidding dad).

I wasn't sure how good these binoculars would be given the size, but I had a lot of confidence in the Bushnell name. I'm very happy I decided to take a chance and buy them. They are everything I was hoping for. Compact, lightweight, and easy to use. I would definitely recommend them!

I decided to buy 2 of these for my older nephews for Christmas. I myself had no clues about binoculars. But since the rating here was good, I gave them a try. And when I got them, no disappointments at all. They are well made, easy to use and clear. My husband, who kinda objected getting binoculars for presents, tried them and said, ' Nice! What an ingenious present. We should have bought these for the little ones, too.' (O.o)

I took these on my cruise to Alaska. They were very light to carry (a good thing), but the materials seemed solid and well made. I was able to see all of the distant mountains and waterfalls on the trip. There may be better binoculars, but these are reasonably priced and are a size that makes traveling with them easy.

Works perfect, don't have a single negative thing to say about it. Don't worry if you wear glasses, the binoculars can be adjusted to your level vision, whatever it may be.

These are the smallest binoculars I've ever seen, are very lightweight, and very easy to focus. They come with a great carrying case and lens cloths. We took them all over Paris and they were very useful on the top of churches and the eiffel tower.

I know very little about binoculars. I know a lot about cameras, but have never owned a pair of binocs. I wanted to buy a basic binoculars with a decent range for my photography nature trips. I wanted to survey a scene quickly with light binoculars and decided to get this one. It's cheap, had good reviews and a respectable name. Here are my views after owning it for a couple of months:
br /
br /PROS:
br /1. Excellent value
br /2. Respectable name
br /3. Small and light
br /4. Good solid quality
br /5. Adjusting stereo vision is quick and smooth and stays in place once found
br /6. Comes with a nice little soft case
br /7. Folds up nicely
br /
br /CONS:
br /1. Eye holes are smaller than I would like. Still see my eyelashes sometimes. This is expected of most compact binoculars.
br /2. Requires a decent amount of light to work. A little difficult for sunrise photography.
br /3. Neck string is thin and difficult to replace
br /
br /Overall, this seems like a very solid product and at this price, it's a no lose choice.

super convenient. Super clear. I am using them in tandom with the 12x25 for bird watching and they are great. I recommend the 8X21 to anyone. Great Value!

I recieved these binoculars today in the mail and can easily say that they are awesome. The price is right and the quality is superb. I would just like to note a couple of things to help those of you considering this specific pair. They are much smaller than I expected, which is not a bad thing. The picture can be a little misleading as to how small these binoculars really are. Folded up you could easily fit them into any standard sized pocket. I think that this pair would be perfect for anyone who would like to bring some binocs with them on a hike or just when they're out walking (like me). They would work perfectly for birdwatchers. I think also that they would be a great gift for children because the design appears to be very solid and in the worst case scenario, if the kid breaks them, it's not like they cost that much.

br /Before buying these I read some of the reviews specifically focusing on the ones that had complaints about these particular binoculars. I've come to the conclusion that anyone who voted less than five stars was either confused about the basics of working a pair of binoculars or they were expecting the resolution and magnification power that you would find if you were to buy a $60 pair of binoculars. For the $13 and some odd cents I paid, this is an investment that I am very happy with and I think that others who make this purchase will feel the same way.

These are a decent little pair of binocvulars. The light gathering power is not enormous, but I was able to see night sky objetcs well, andromeda galaxy and the Pleadies star cluster looked nice. They fold up and are fairly compact. Good for daylight viewing and bird watching, not the best out there, but good for being very inexpensive.

nice for small glasses, all my mother 75, can carry now on her bird walks, works fine. great price for small glasses.

Excellent for birding. it does everything the larger binoculars do but is easy to carry.

This actually surprised me on the quality of the binocs for my 3 year old grandson. He loves birds and has had a great time using this. Perfect choice for the occasion. Good value!

I was just looking for a nice small pair of binoculars to take to concerts when I would be a good distance from the stage. I seen these bushnell powerview binoculars. I read some reviews that gave me a good impression of what I was looking for and they were. I tell you. I love how small they are and easy to focus. It came with a nice case. If you are in the balcony of any performance you sure can get a closer look with this binoculars. They are really cheap and great quality. I paid under ten dollars and they were new. I recommend that you buy these binoculars. I have a big pair and this on is a nice replacement. They fold up and open easily. You can open them to curve across the bridge of your nose to your face. Focusing was simple. I never bought bushnell products before. I am impressed.

For the price, these binoculars are a fair purchase. Nice and compact as well, with a carrying case.

For about $20.00, these are just fine. The image is not particularly bright...but they are clear and focus accurately. And they are VERY portable - folded they are about the size of a GPS or digital camera.

This product gives you a very good image and is an amazingly good value for the money. What it's lacking over more expensive models--good strap instead of string; lens covers; better case--does not really affect the functionality. The folding roof prism can be a bit cumbersome to adjust. Also be aware that 8 x 21 gives a small field of view so you can't see a whole field or stage at once. But if you want a very compact binocular for sports or theater viewing, consider this one.

These are very handy and pretty good quality. The clarity may not be as good as some bigger high-end binoculars but for the price you can't beat them. They were great at the ball game and at the theater. They are small enough that you can take them almost everywhere.

We purchased these for our trip overseas. We wanted lightweight binoculars for our twins to use and they love them! They were very useful at the airport spotting all sorts of things and outside bird and wildlife too! They are very portable and for the price I cannot believe the quality!

I WATCH THE BIRDS IN MY BACKYARD LOVE THE THINGS I CAN SEE WITH THESE. I KEEP THEM IN MY UPSTAIRS BEDROOM THAT HAS A SLIDING GLASS DOOR LOOKING ONTO MY BIRD FEEDING STATION I CAN NOW DENTIFY A LOT MORE BIRDS.I WOULD CERTAINLY RECOMEND THESE HIGHLY. FOR BEING SO SMALL THEY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB.

When I bought them for this price, I thought they were going to be like kids' toy binoculars. However, when I took them out of their little box and felt them, they looked very professional and well-built. No kids' toy plastic, but professional look and feel (they smell like a well-built device. Yes, I smelled them, too.)

br /I tried them in the open and I could see several blocks away with a clear image.

br /These binoculars are a good deal for the price.

I'm not an educated binocular person. I only wanted a pair because I was going to see the show "Wicked", and I had a seat almost in the last row. I wanted to be able to see the cast's faces. These binoculars were awesome for that purpose. The magnification was almost perfect for the distance I was away from the stage. I hardly had to do any panning around. And the lenses are clear, and I was able to focus them perfectly. I never took them away from my face the whole show.

I got the Bushnell 8x21 as a compact choice for a trip to England. I had my eye on (no pun intended) a more expensive one, but this was well reviewed and now I know why. They work great. Clear view and easy focus. Can not beat them for the price. They are made well and do not feel like junk.

These binoculars are very powerful, especially for their size and are very inexpensive. I bought them for bird watching and they work very well for this. I'm glad I purchased them

Just bought 2 pair of these on a whim before our recent Alaskan cruise and they were great. Having never owned binoculars before, I didn't really expect much from the cheapest model I could find. These are surprising strong and we really appreciated have them for the stunning views in the Pacific NW. They are easy to focus on the fly and are very compact. We stashed 2 pairs in our small backpack and had plenty of room for other items. If you are looking for cheap and compact, these are a good bet. (They even come with a nice travel case and a lens cloth.)

br /- Mid-20s -

These are very compact, easy to carry, and work fine. Carrying case isn't the greatest - but these fit well in a pocket. Optics work fine for what they cost - would buy again.

Its slightly heavy, but really compact. I bought these for bird watching.

Good binocular. Even a good item to gift also.
br /Biggest advantage is that you can watch without glasses.

I bought my first binoculars. These are compact, lightweight and easy to use. Highly recommend.

I purchased these for my step-father. He likes to have binoculars that fit in his front shirt pocket when he is out fishing. These are good quality compact.

I purchased this device for general use on vacation with no specific intentions. I actually found myself using my digital camera's zoom functions for distant viewing than using these binoculars. Buy a better set of binoculars if you actually intend to use them for more than bird watching, which might be painful at 21mm anyway...
