Celestron 71348 Outland X 10x50 Roof Prism Binoculars, Black

Great binoculars. Clear image and very effective in all environments. Highly recommend and decent price for what you get. Comfy to carry and use and would make an ideal beginners set to bird watching or first proper pair of binoculars.

Very good value pocketable binoculars, the image quality is way above their price point, with bright clear sharp optics. They are a good size and weight, comfortable to use and seem really well made.

I had been impressed by all the 5 star reviews and ordered a pair of these for bird-watching, fell-walking etc. The good points are, relatively light weight, nice build quality, excellent clarity. So why 4 stars not 5? Because I did a side-by-side comparison with a pair of German made Minox 10 x 42s. At 4 times the price, clearly they are better in terms of construction, though heavier and slightly more compact. The most noticeable difference is in light transmission, on a dull day the Minox are noticeably brighter, also the focus wheel is only one turn end to end and seems to snap into focus much more easily than the two turn Celestron focus wheel. The differences are not massive but enough to lose the Celestron's their 5th star. Having said that, these are excellent binos at a budget price and the 75% saving compared to the Minox probably only loses you 15% in quality and in bright conditions these are very very good with clarity only marginally less than the Minox. You pays your money and takes your choice, and for me having a budget pair for scrambling up fells etc where they could get lost or damaged was a good choice, rarely will you be bothered by the trade-offs I have described. A good buy as long as you bear in mind the slight shortcomings compared to a premium product.

Excellent pair of binoculars. Performance wise they are great,They have excellent christal clear vision. The magnification is perfect,and It's very easy to keep your subject in focus, even when it is moving with the precise focus wheel. They are light and compact, I would recommend these to anyone.

Best quality product, compact size ideal for travelling

These are a powerful set of binoculars 10x with 50mm main object lenses for a brighter image due to the extra light that can enter. Of course binoculars are easy to use but it is worth a read of the manual for those adjustments for those wearing glasses and/or slightly different eye focus from left to right. Once set these work very well for most uses with great colour and relatively little chromatic aberration fringing in part thanks to the lens design and the coated optics. The design also keeps these glasses fairly light which were good for my own purposes. Overall, a good value set of binoculars for most uses.

Bought these for my 11-year old and he absolutely loves them (and his 7 year brother is insanely jealous). The image quality is good although the 25mm lens means the image is not very bright compared to my 10x50s. However the smaller lens means these are lighter in weight and perfect for kids. All in all I'm very pleased with them and they are a good price.

Easy to focus, slightly heavier than expected but all round very good with carrier case and decent strap.
