look more than cheap.. not focusing well and besides seeing double.. do not buy this item.. if you want want a cheap pair of binos buy tasco

I ordered two of this Barska Lucid 16x32 Compact Binocular. External appearance is good although a bit small. The focusing quality is inconsistent: One focused fairly well, the other did not.

I purchased two sets of these for a recent trip to the new Nationals' stadium to watch the Nationals vs. Marlins game. They worked much better than I had expected, given the price. Yes, they're not the greatest binoculars in the world, but they worked just fine for a trip to the stadium. They come with a carrying case, a strap that's already attached, instructions (that aren't really needed, but come in seven different languages), and a very nice cleaning cloth. The binoculars are also very light. I would definitely purchase them again.

I purchased a pair of the Barska Lucid 8x21 compact binocuars for my daughter and son-in-law. They like to attend baseball games as well as some basketball games.They also like to go to state parks and walk the trails so these will be great to watch the birds and wildlife. These are small enough to carry in a purse or jacket pocket without being bulky and burdersome. I tried them out before I wrapped them for christmas, I was about ready to keep them and find them something else.They thought they were great and couldn't wait to try them out.

I found them almost impossible to get focused and then after using for a short time, my eyes were crossed. I guess they were never focused and I was compensating. What do you want for eight bucks.

I was very disappointed with this purchase. The picture of this item does not match what I received. I had tickets to a play and wanted the fancy pair of binoculars I saw on the picture. It did not matter that the item said black because I just assumed they would not be red. I was shocked and disappointed to find out I was deceived.

The mini-binoculars are very light and rubberized construction looks strong and feels soft at the same time. The eye cups prevent any surrounding light to interfere with the visual image through the mini-bins. I love it.

For the size and price, can't be beat. Ones have complained about not being able to focus well and straining eyes. Try this before complaining, 1. look through the left side with your left eye and using the main adjustment, focus in on a non-moving object.
2. look through the right side with your right eye, this time using the eye cap adjustment, turn slowly left or right and focus in on the same non-moving object.
This is called setting the focus. When this is complete, use only the main adjustment to focus (REMEMBER, YOUR BINOCULARS ARE NOW SET TO YOUR EYES ONLY!!)
Yes, you can buy better ones, but not for $17.00.

Not bad, I was impressed with the quality for this inexpensive of a compact binocular. Great value for a nice handy little set of binocs!

I bought these binoculars for my wife for bird watching. The unit does not focus well and the field of view is not good. I do not recommend them.
