Sports reviews of Bushnell Xtra-Wide 4x 30mm Binocular
Customer Review: STADIUM USE
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This product works great for stadium viewing of all types of events. I especially wanted it to view football games and the field of vision is so wide it allows me to see everything from sideline to sideline. The only way this product could be better is if they could make a higher power magnification with the same field of vision.Customer Review: well worth the money and more
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My husband loves these binos. He has owned other Bushnell wides but finds these even better than his old ones. Loves to watch football games with these, can see all 22 players on the field at once. Uses them also for spotting animals in the mountains.Customer Review: See the entire stage
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We own three pair of these great wide-field binoculars. Almost everyone sitting near us whom we lend these to, even for just a few moments during opera and ballet events, ask where they can buy a pair of their own. Enough said!Customer Review: best binoculars for concerts and shows and sporting events
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Theese wide angled binoculars let you see the whole stage not just a single spot. They are great. We own two of them.Customer Review: Great binocular, but a bit bulky
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought these to bring to three Broadway shows. The 4x power is perfect for that, and the wide view is great because you can view the whole width of the stage without moving the binoculars around. The only problem during a Broadway show is that the binoculars are a bit bulky. For a Broadway show, a smaller, more compact, 4x opera glasses might be better. The focus is very sharp, which is better than expected with a focus-free binocular. The focus-free is nice because I could pass it around to others in my party, then they just put them up and viewed without having to fool around with focusing.
Once football season starts, I think these will be great. I go to several football games a year, and usually get the crappy noise-blead cheap seats. These will be great for those seats. I used to bring 8x binoculars to the games, but they are to high powered and only let you see a single player, not really see overall game play. So these should be perfect for that. Also, the somewhat bulky size of the binoculars won't be a problem at a football game, the way they are a Broadway show.
I also took these up to the top of the Empire State building, and everyone said they where much better than using the coin-operated binoculars on the observation deck. They gave a great overall view of the city.
Focus is very sharp in the center, and a little less sharp at the edges. But I am very happy with the focus-free binoculars. They also come with a nice case, and a small scratch-free cleaning cloth for the lenses.
Nice overall value. I would give 5 stars if they were a bit more compact. So, I'm knocking a star off due to them being a bit to bulky for theater use. But for stadium use, they would be 5 stars.
