Wonderful light weight high quality optics for the general public. Good for bird watching in the yard, kids athletic games, and concerts and the like. I highly recommend these which are also highly recommended by Consumer Reports as a "Best Buy". Outdistanced the ratings on several high end, high priced name brands!

I have purchased three of these binoculars, all three are of excellent generally, but all have two big weaknesses:
1: The "for eyeglass wear" extensions threads do not fit snugly when extended, they creep backwards causing readjustment inconvenience.
2: The focus adjustment mechanism on the right hand side tube is very loose, will not stay in place causing frequent readjustment.
I like these binoculars very much but the above two shortcoming are big distractions.
Perfect! December 5, 2009

I specifically purchased these binoculars for a Bruce Springsteen concert I had tickets for and they worked out great. Knowing pretty much nothing about binoculars; I did my research; checked out other retailers and found that this pair at this price was perfect for me. They are lightweight, compact and very easy to use. In a concert venue; the last thing you need is something heavy hanging around your neck. Didn't miss a move the Boss made!
Nice all-around binocular November 22, 2009

If you're looking for a general use binocular without a specific task in mind, you cannot go wrong with this one. However, be aware that this is not a binocular to use in low light, wet conditions, or for star watching.
Light-weight, good optical quality, easy to use, and comes with a nice case.
Great for bird watching. November 2, 2009

Olympus Outback Compact Binoculars 8x21 RCI. Small size, lightweight, great for carrying and bird watching. Consumer Reports magazine also highly recommends these binoculars for bird watching.
