Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The large central focusing knob of the Meade Mirage 10 x 25 Mini Binocular lets you make adjustments smoothly and easily--even when wearing gloves. Its achromatic objective lenses give you faithful color imaging, while the fluoride magnesium-coated optics make the images brighter and higher in contrast.

These mini-binoculars are lightweight and compact, and fold even smaller for easy storage. This convenient size makes them ideal for a wide variety of activities, including vacations, sporting events, concerts, and the theater. The rubber-coated body lets you maintain a secure yet comfortable grip. Although you get sharp, bright images, these binoculars are not meant for high-resolution nature observation, such as bird watching. This model comes with a carrying case and a neck strap.

4.0 out of 5 stars A killer deal, January 19, 2001

This review is from: MEADE 10 x 25 Mini Binocular w/Case, Strap & Cleaning Cloth - MEA10X25 (Electronics)

The Wall Street Journal reviewed these binoculars. They are easy to use and you can actually see the people on the stage when you are in the back row. As the WSJ said, "A killer of a deal>" For under thirty dollars you can't do better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, July 2, 2001

This review is from: MEADE 10 x 25 Mini Binocular w/Case, Strap & Cleaning Cloth - MEA10X25 (Electronics)

These reviews are nice, but read them carefully. This pair of bino's doesn't zoom, but curiously two reviewers praise the zoom anyway.

Likewise, another sounds like a commercial for Meade. Although I did read the Wall Street Journal article, and the author's recommendation is why I'm buying a set of these.

This review is from: MEADE 10 x 25 Mini Binocular w/Case, Strap & Cleaning Cloth - MEA10X25 (Electronics)

These Meade Mirage 10x25 mini binoculars were rated "Best Value" in a January 2001 review of compact binoculars in The Wall Street Journal. The review author, Lauren Lipton, described them as "extremely easy to use," said they "provided a great perspective," declared them "a killer deal," and described her Amazon.com purchase experience as "effortless."
