Sports reviews of Bushnell Falcon 10x50 Wide Angle Binoculars (Black)
Customer Review: Exceeds Expectation (Which Were Somewhat High)
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Bushnell does it again. These binoculars are incredible, especially at this price. I'll admit, I wasn't expecting the greatest, but being an optimist, I assumed Amazon.com wouldn't sell me something for $25 that seemed of $25 or lower value.
The binoculars are not only what they say they are, but also of sturdy construction and quality with a tilt focus instead of the cheaper knobs you sometimes see. (This means you can change the focus without having to run your finger along a knob, shaking your view as it focuses.) It comes with a strap and a bag, too.
The lens caps are a little loose on the eye pieces, but that's what the bag is for. Honestly, I intend to look through these more than I'll need eye piece caps anyway. The ones on the lens side are tight, though.
In the way of extra notes, these do fog up if you get really, really sweaty, (was working out when these came in the mail) but I should hope I don't bird watching or star gazing, as these are ideal, especially with the 50mm lenses for extra light.
Overall, I gave this unit 5 out of 5 because it far exceeds what you'd get out of $25 anywhere else and is more than suited for the tasks I have purchased them for. Good job again, Amazon.com!
Customer Review: finally, a decent pair of binoculars
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is the first nice set of binoculars that I have owned. I especially like the center focus bar. A few months back (before vacation) I thought I needed a new pair of bins. I purchased a pair that had a center focus wheel. I took them in the field to bird watch and was very disappointed with them. I had gotten so spoiled with the center focus bar that I had a hard time focusing fast enough with a center wheel focus. 9 times out of 10 the bird I was trying to look at flew away before I could bring the other pair (also Bushnell) into focus. I bought a pair of these about 2 months ago for stadium sports events.. I was very happy with them. Unfortunately they where broken on a recent family vacation. I came home and promptly bought a new set. I not only bought a pair for me, but also a pair for my two sons and my mother. I've never looked through a pair of ungodly expensive binoculars so I honestly can't tell you how these compare. But I will say I've owned several different pairs of 'nocs over the last decade and these are far and away my favorite.
Customer Review: Good binos.

Customer Review: You get more than what you pay !
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is my first binocular. I had earlier used a 4"newt and
8"dob. But never actually went out and used them. The setup and
assembling takes some time with the scopes. Recently in my US
trip, I bought this very cheap binocular. I stay in a light
polluted city and I must say , this binoculars have done wonders
to me so far. I was easily able to spot M7,M6 in Scorpius. M7 is
truly a beauty through this binocular. With help of some star
charts I was easily able to get the dreaded ;) M31 in the focus.
This binocular is really amazing. The optics are pretty good.
I rate it 10 out of 10 ! The bushnell site as well as amazon
mentions it does not have the socket adapter which is wrong.
It does have it. You need to unscrew the cap between the two
barrels , it has "Made in China" printed. I am soon planning
to get a neat L adapter. This is well worth the money.
Customer Review: Great Bargain
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I already had a pair without any adjustment, but these let me adjust for the days my older eyes don't want to work so well. They are crisp, clear images. Weight is an issue for me, and these aren't so heavy that they become unmanageable. With all the snow, I haven't been able to use them much, since I got them for star gazing & snow comes with a lot of clouds. I like that the lens caps come off entirely, since my other pair has a strap attaching the larger ones, which only get in the way all the time. For the price, you can't beat them. I should have gotten these first. There's a carrying case and neck strap, with lens cloth -- a LOT for your money -- plus the Bushnell reputation for quality no matter what the price you paid. All in all, a very satisfying purchase. I did check out our local woods when they arrived, and branches were so clear you could almost touch them, so I assume they would do for birding also.
