I bought these binoculars a while ago and I love them. It has great viewing quality and the price is pretty decent. For a binocular under 20, the range and clarity it offers is unbeatable.
I bought these because I have heard of the Bushnell name before and several equipment we work with in my work is with Bushnell so I know it's a trustable brand.
I thought for such a price these binoculars are going to be toys, turns out they are actually quite functional. The viewing angle provided by the 8x21 is great and I can see things from far away without too much shaking. The quality is solid and durable, I brought this to my cross country trip from Yellowstone to New York and it provided a good use for its value.
Some cons of this binocular are that the holes are too small for my eyes to see. It was a small nuisance that I did not enjoy since from time to time my eye lashes get caught and it messes up my viewing experience. Also I never liked the strings that came with this model, it was very fragile and easily broken.
Overall these were great binoculars. I bought these for recreational uses and I will purchase one for my sons and daughters, and even one for my parents! They will love this binocular.
