Celestron 71346 8 x 42 Outland X Binocular, Black

Exceeds all my expectations and the price is very reasonable. Lightweight and portable enough for hiking trips and works well in dark lighting (during a dance show).

Excellent little binoculars. Feel very well constructed, focus is smooth with no grittiness or sticking. The 8x25 set I got are surprisingly compact, much smaller than I was expecting (a good thing, as they appear quite bulky online). Image is bright and clear, with no visible distortion or chromatic fringing. Reasonable close focus distance (around 4m). Only downside is the supplied strap is a bit rubbish, and the 8x25 do not come with eyepiece or lens covers, which is a shame; alhough the supplied soft case is decent. Overall an excellent buy, and very good value for money - much better than other other bins I examined around this price point.

I have always used small lightweight binoculars to take in my bag for watching wildlife on walking and cycling trips. My previous ones served me well until I dropped and broke them. I researched the market for an affordable replacement pair and chose these as providing the size, weight, features, performance and value-for-money I was looking for based on the reviews. I am pleased with them. There are few binoculars providing some weather protection at this price. My only criticisms relate to :1) The very sensitive focussing. It has taken me a little practice to get used to this compared with my old pair and I think I preferred my old ones in this respect. However the clarity, field of view and eye-relief are excellent.2) There are no fold down eye cups, which doesn't bother me. If these are important to you, don't buy.

These binos are excellent! Compact and well made, easy to setup and adjust, stays in the same setup. Nice and clear and easy to maintain full circle view. Ideal for walking out-and-about, bird watching, sports, landscape, seascape viewing etc.Only very small issue, no protective caps!

You can go for it. Its a Genuine Product. The Clarity, you are going to fall in love for this. Thank you Seller and Amazon for Timely Delibery at Great price.

Having never need binoculars before I was not sure what type to get, having done some research the Celestron 10x25 where recommended for a newby like myself, I used them for the first time last week, and have been very impressed, I have to wear glasses, so was finding it a bit difficult to see properly, but decided to not wear the glasses whilst use the binoculars, and was really impressed with how clear I could see at what I was looking at, I would recommend them as they are light easy to handle and come with a decent strap and carry bag .

Exactly what I was after - a quality pair of compact binoculars at an affordable price. Great for casual birding and stargazing. No complaints.

If you can pick these up at a good price (They’re around £80 at present with a voucher) then these might be what you’re looking for. I would say quality control isn’t the best and ours went back with a faulty eye cup. Understand that these are really entry level binoculars and you won’t be disappointed. Ideal to ‘test the water’ for something like Bird watching or general rambling. These 8x42 models are a great general purpose choice. Lightweight and within reason good build design. Smooth focusing and easy to use with good grip on the controls. Not super sharp or particularly high contrast but good enough for someone starting off with binoculars. Case is basic and the neck strap is truly awful but at this price you shouldn’t expect too much. Probably not the option if you’re looking for a long term pair of binoculars - but obviously you’d need to pend a bit more.
