Binoculars for Adults and Kids, 10x25 Compact Binoculars for Bird Watching, Theater and Concerts, Hunting and Sport Games

Okay, so here's my quasi scientific, slightly shaky review. I was motivated to write this because these are seriously a great buy, but the 10x mag seems to be a fantasy. My method was to focus on the church and then put my phone camera to the eyepiece and try to hold it all steady. I think the photos do a reasonable job of indicating magnification, field of view, and general image brightness/sharpness. But don't get hung up on blur etc towards the edges as this is more a factor of me trying to align and hold the camera to the eyepiece. I tried to centre on the rain spout. Hopefully the full size images, including my reference codes, will be displayed when you click on them.The Hontry (Hontry 10x25) is compact, light, quick to focus and easy to do so with one finger, and provides a bright, colourful image. I'd say it's mag factor is closer to 8 (compare with the Hawke 8x25 - H 8x25 photo). It may even be slightly less than 8 (judging by eye). I've had the Hawke several years now and I think they were something like 5x the price. The focusing is also a tad stiff, making it a little awkward to do so with one hand. I had a couple of old 10x mag binoculars to hand: my ancient Chinon 10x50 (AC 10x50 photo) and my dad's old, little Vivitar (OV 10x25 photo). These are good comparisons showing the Hontry seems nowhere near the 10x mag. My ancient Chinon is a beast. Honestly, it's the last thing you'd want dangling from your neck whilst out walking. The old Vivitar is small and light but the image is, frankly, somewhat blurry and dull.I bought my first of these Hontrys to let my 2.5 year old son play with because he'd discovered my dad's old Vivitar and wouldn't put it down. But I found the Hontry image so bright and clear that I've let my son keep playing with the Vivitar! Yes, the 10x claim seems utter fabrication, but for bird and wildlife watching out on the move, and something that you can easily slip in a pocket, it's great. Bear in mind magnification is useless if an image is blurry. I first bought two; one for my son and one for my elderly mum. As I've said, I ended up "keeping" the Hontry for myself. I think at around £20 each, they're a steal. Soon after I managed to pick up another for around £19. At these prices, for something around 8x mag that's easy to carry and provides bright, sharp images, this is seriously a great commodity binocular that you can take anywhere and aren't afraid to. Keep one in the car glovebox, in the shed, at your mistress's...

These are really nice and compact and can fit into your jacket pocket when out for a walk. They are nice and light too. The optical quality is very good and produces nice clear images. You can get cheaper ones but its worth paying a little more for the quality. Recommended for wildlife spotting, bird watching etc. Very nice.

Arrived 2 days earlier than stated,great but came after dark so I could only set them up this morning which was simple to do,we had snow last night so not a lot to look at.What I have seen I am very pleased with.Image is very clear,just need to get used to keeping still.They are compact and do a good job,they look good and for the price seem to be worth it.I would recommend them,can not wait to get out and use them properly

Low cost, good quality binoculars, delivers a good focus and clarity.

Really good quality perfect with a good range and crisp vision. Small and very light, bought as a gift very happy

Surprised the Binoculars are not supplied with carrying strap/cord ?

Purchased for my wife who wanted small lightweight binoculars for RSPB bird watching. Perfect for birdwatching with a good clear field of vision and weight was great to allow long periods of use. Great purchase and good value for money.

Great compact binoculars. The grip is really good and my hands easily fits around the body, the eye piece and focus buttons are simple to manoeuvre. Got mine on a discounted deal too, definitely worth it.
