The glasses have only one adjustment in the center for both eyes, and do not have the individual eye adjustment that is usually provided for one eye so that a sharper focus can be achieved when the center adjustment is employed. I would recommend purchasing a step higher for that purpose because I could not get a good focus with just a center adjustment.

The instructions that were in the box were for another product.

The reason I selected these glasses was because they were the only ones that Amazon offered overnight shipment for, and I had waited until a few days before the performance to buy them. That was my fault for procrastinating. I would have spent a few more dollars for a better pair if I had allowed myself more time.

I would not recommend buying these because of the difficuly focusing them.

These opera glasses arrive in a very ugly retail box, but inside are these beautful opera glasses. They are not only beautiful, but have great magnification an clarity. The neckchain is high quality and a tremendous bonus. I was thrilled with this purchase, especially for the price.

Some reviewers mentioned not being able to adjust the glasses to their narrow set eyes, but my eyes are narrow set and I had no problem.

Would highly recommend these opera glasses to any woman (way too fru-fru for a guy)

These opera glasses look beautiful and seem to be a great value (for example, a pair that looks the same that was for sale at the opera house cost ~$90!) Unfortunately, I have a small face and the two eyepieces do not get close enough together for me. They are adjustable, just not enough.

I couldn't believe the beauty of the Barska Blueline Opera Glass that I purchased for such a reasonable price. They functioned perfectly and enhanced my opera experience to the max.

I ordered 3 binoculars Bushnell Powerview 8x21, Tasco Essentials 10x25 and Barska Blueline 3x25 opera glass. After comparing them during day and night. I decided to keep Tasco and return the other two. I think the 25 view glass make a difference for the light to get in the right way comparing with the 21. Both the Tasco and Barska are very clear without light interference. Barska is very cute and elegant. It is great for ladies who also like some fashion when going to opera. But the 3x limited its power. I wanted something that can see the bowing of violinist when go to concert and sit in the back row. Neither the Bushnell nor the Barska fold all the way. They create bridges. So they are not super compact. Barska comes with a cheap pouch looks like leather but not. Both Bushnell and Tasco come with nice fabric cases which can be attached to belt.

These opera glasses look so nice and elegant. I had no problem neither with the clarity nor with the adjustment. Good value and i do recommend them....

Good basic glasses for the opera or other event in a relatively small arena. They're small and light enough to fit in an evening purse.

These opera glasses are just what I ordered. They provide a clear enlarged look at the stage. They are easy to focus and easy to hold and use.

I recently purchased these classy little glasses for a Chris Botti and San Francisco symphony concert. They were perfect! My husband and I were both very happy
the close up views we enjoyed through them. It was easy to adjust the settings back and forth as we each took turns. They are compact enough to fit into my small evening bag
and, while they are not at all heavy, there is a nice heft to them that bespeaks of their quality. I was also happy with the little carrying pouch and cleaning cloth that comes with them. The case adds extra protection from other items in my bag that could potentially scratch the lenses. I'm very happy with these opera glasses and highly recommend them!

These opera glasses are good quality for money spent for central focus binocs. I had individual focus previously and they allowed better atuning to each eye but hard to find these days in a small item. The "necklace" is a metal chain that is used to hang the opera glasses around the neck. Nice to look at and definitely heavy duty, but the problem is than when stored in the pouch with the glasses over time there will be damage to the glass lenses. Manufacturer should replace the metal neckclace with a nice satin cord. That's what I plan to do.
