At first look was surprized they came in a nice polypro bag with a built in belt loop and a lens cleaner in bag. first appearance of binoculars, nice rubber eye cups, 1/2 rubber handles and rubber over end of the lens. The body is a cheap silver plastic of moderate quality. The center wheel has little in the way of adjustment, at wide range eye cups and wheel frame are very wobby and could break very easily. (cheap plastic frame for eye cups). Eye cups become more stable upon tightening in the view by way of the center wheel. The view is a blueish tint with no glare, with an orange tint to the outer lenses. Also based on price no L/R diopter adjustments. There is also a string neckstrap, and these are also very light weight. Also no range numbers, just boast better than the natural eye, bad descrition- as magnifying glasses at a gas station can do that as well. The best possible use for these in my opinion is for a child or maybe for an emergency/survival kit. Not a large field of view as compaired to my 8x30 old heavy weight binoculars handed down to me. This is a very basic set. At $5.99 a great value, but add $4.95 shipping and I would suggest using the around $11 to purchase a different pair based on your usage. Unit does have a very stylish design, just needs some improving of quality and could get an even better price.

Pros: light weight
pleasing visual design
compact- 4 3/4 x 4 3/4"
nice storage case
coated blue lenses

Cons: small range of focus
cheap plastic housing- (eye cups frame)
no maginfication or objective lens measurments (field of view)
rubber extending from eye cups flimsy

I am very please with my recent purchase of the Emerson Mini Binoculars. I used them mainly when attending theater plays and sporting events where I am sitting far away from the stage or field. I also like the fact that they are small, light which makes it easy when traveling to events.

I ordered two pair of these last year for Christmas for my two older children. They enjoyed playing with them for the first two weeks and then the lenses started falling off and the screws started coming loose. I wouldn't recommend these at all for anyone active.

Purchased 4 of these for coworkers as Christmas gifts. Everyone really liked them and said they would come in handy at work (Police Officers). Very prompt delivery as well.
Very satisfied.

While these look good and come in a nice carry case they are far from useful at concerts, etc. I do not recommend them for anyone who wants even a moderately serious binocular set! Spend the extra money and go for something that is more than a pair of magnifying glasses in a nice case.

I found this product to be a high quality, great value product. Compact, durable and works great. Clear views, good distance. Has a quality case too.
