Kylietech 12X42 Binoculars for Adults with Universal Phone Adapter, HD Waterproof Fogproof Compact Binoculars for Bird Watching, Hunting, Hiking, Sports, and Concerts with BAK4 Prism FMC Lens

Good value , quality binocs

I bought these for my daughter for her birthday. She likes bird watching. These have amazing magnification and clarity is very good but it is difficult to see through them. It is a struggle to get the eyes aligned and keep them aligned with the lenses. You breathe too heavy and you are looking at a black image instead of what you were meaning to see. I think bigger binoculars would be better for this magnification. I looked through a different pair of about the same size but less powerful and I did not have the same issue. I used to work at a camera store and sold many binoculars. I really think this is a design flaw and not a pair that was made wrong. If you don't mind the fuss and you want a really compact pair for the magnification, get these. You won't be disappointed with the quality. If you get frustrated with not being exactly spot on in the middle of the lenses, these will drive you bonkers.

Arrived in time. Neatly packaged in a box. It is light weight, very portable, works fine for birdwatching.

Excelente Vision

opened the box and went to spy on the osprey nest we've been watching without any magnification. very happy with how easy these are to use. there are a few 12x50 choices on amazon. I picked these for shipping speed and reviews. others are cheaper and close to the reviews here. I'd guess they are all about as good as each other.since then, I've used them in Alaska and am very happy with how they performed. My friend had some Nikon 10x25 that were smaller but these gave me a better view.

This is my second pair of these, and it's a fun story. Altho VERY well made and durable, these do not well endure being run over. I have a small luxury sedan, not an SUV, and they look pretty good and still adjust and focus, but one of the lenses inside the right tube was crushed, and, obviously, spending two or three bills to repair $45 binocs would be ridiculous, so I ordered another.This is a separate, interesting story. I was down at my kid brother's in San Diego when I one-clicked them, specifying free shipment. That was wednesday evening, and the first promise was delivery the following tuesday. As I wasn't going to be back home until sunday, I figured good enough.Then, I got a notice that they had been delivered friday morning, and there was a photo of the package, sitting at my front door. Well, I live in a nice neighborhood, and when we rolled up sunday afternoon, the package was still there.As with the first, these were perfect out of the box and are marvelous binocs for an unbelievable price. The optical quality is positively CREEPY good, and they are lightweight worn around the neck and adjust and focus smoothly.Being 12x, they are sometimes hard to hold still, but the image is incredible and the field of view is wide enough to be very useful. They accommodate a tripod mount adapter, this found by unscrewing the knurled nut between the objective lenses.The cell phone gadget works only fairly well with my Moto X, and I see only a circular, but sharp, image in the center of the phone. Given that, it DOES work and you might find it useful. With phones being made ever bigger and thinner, the adapter might not accept yours. I suggest you not consider this an important reason for buying these.Just generally: These are SUPERB binocs with SUPERB optical quality, easy to carry and use. Don't depend on the cell phone gimmick, and don't run them over with your car.

They seem good but the distance between eyes is a bit small for an adult male and seems to limit focusing a bit.

Just wanted a knock around set for the truck. A set I wasn't constantly worried about getting stolen or dropped or whatever. These were a great price so I took a chance. Pleasantly surprised at how great these have been. Comes with lots of handy stuff, very crisp images and good zoom capabilities. Not had too much chance to drop them or bang them around, but they aren't being babied and they still are working great. Very happy with this purchase.
