Kylietech High Power 12x42 Binoculars for Adults with BAK4 Prism, FMC Lens, Fogproof & Waterproof Great for Bird Watching Travel Stargazing Hunting Concerts (Smartphone Adapter Included)

These are amazing for the price. I just wanted a pair for casual bird spotting and these do the job very very well. They're easy to focus and set up using the instructions and they come with all the straps and a case to carry them around in. Also they're not too heavy or oversized. I highly recommend these.

Was a little reluctant about buying these as price was so low but genuinely delighted with them. I am an 'average' birder who can identify most things and bought these as my original Lidl 10 x 50s bought a couple of years ago were too big to just take on a short walk. These binoculars are half the weight of those and a better form factor. They have more magnification (can confirm using side by side) and are much clearer. They also have good design features such as the attached lens caps at both ends which will protect the lenses. My only grumbles might I be a bit of fuzziness at the edges of the circles, and nowhere to attach the bins to a tripod like some have, but I've never used that anyway.

An optimistic purchase based on their advertised specs and reasonable offer price as I fancied some light 12 x 42 binos to add to my collection but thought I would struggle to hold glasses of this magnification steady. Straight out of the box the quality of presentation, accessories and the instructions provided impressed and I am pleased to report they were equally good in use.Lightweight, pleasantly sharp, easily focused and with minimal level of chromatic fringing for the price in against the light use at their regular price of circa £30 with an ok case, eyepiece covers and neoprene strap they are a decided steal! Ideal for garden or leisure use when walking or hiking (when the light weight is a real bonus). These binos do not profess to be high end but as a regular user of £200 to £300 glasses by such as Hawke and Opticron they are still eminently useable for the casual nature lover and your neck and shoulder muscles will thank you.

Excellent for the price! Given as a gift and recipient loved them. They feel sturdy, great accessories included and feels like a proper gift. Decent magnification and easy to adjust eye sites. Work really well and have managed a few shaky photos through the lens. Great medium low budget/first time grown up binoculars

Brilliant experience. Ordered on a Friday, delivered on Saturday, then took them to a local nature reserve for bird spotting on Sunday. Couldn't be happier. They feel sturdy but not too heavy. They were easy to set up, image quality was so good. Really precise and clear. Absolutely great value for money. I can definitely recommend them.

The Kylietech 12x42 Binoculars have been fantastic! With their BAK4 prism and FMC lens, they provide a bright, sharp image with great clarity, even at long distances. They’re lightweight but feel solid and well-built, and the waterproof and fogproof design makes them reliable in all kinds of weather.I originally got them for birdwatching and general outdoor use, but they’ve also been perfect for tracking my drone at long range. The 12x magnification helps me keep an eye on it when it’s far away, making flights much easier and more enjoyable. The included smartphone adapter is a fun addition, allowing me to take zoomed-in photos and videos.Whether for travel, nature watching, or even keeping an eye on a drone, these binoculars do a great job. Excellent quality and great value!

Unfortunately even though these binoculars this and quality considering how much they cost I have encounters some issues to use them with my phone even though an adapter is provided in the box. The relatively small and size but still I could see at a long distance and also the focus was easy to adjust. The relatively small in size and I consider this to be an advantage because they are easy to take around. I tried using these with my phone but no chance and this is because of the type of phone that I have but overall this product is as I expected and it is all fine from my side.

As other reviewers have said, for the money I paid it is not worth the trouble of returning them. They are OK binoculars but for the money they are amazing.I weighed them at 544g including lens caps. They are relatively compact compared to porro binoculars but have a certain heft to them and have comfortable rubberised handling. The diopter adjustment for the right eye (marked only as "- 0 +") works well. There is the conventional central focussing knob too. I would estimate minimum focussing distance at around 10m.There is noticeable chromatic aberration (CA) manifesting itself as a red/purple fringe on one side of contrasty objects and blue o the other but it is not too bad. I suspect the coating is only on the front of the front lenses and the back of rear lenses with no coating inside.I can't comment on their water-resistance as they are only described as 'splash-resistant', i.e. NOT waterproof and I would not want to test them.Others have commented on the actual magnification versus the quoted 12x. All I can say is they have more magnification than my trusted 8x Japanese binoculars - I could easily believe somewhere in the range of 10-12x.By far the worst aspect for me is that even at 'wide open' they are not wide enough for the distance between my eyes. If I put my eyes right up to them only one side works. If I rest them instead on my forehead and place a distance between them and by eyes then I can see through both sides, if I am very careful. Then I am 6'4" and have a larger head than almost all Chinese people. This is a serious issue that for the same of a few mm or extra degrees on the hinge could have been avoided.The chances are I will take them on holiday and give them away to a member of staff. Nobody expects a pair of binoculars as a tip (or perhaps wants one)!The similarly specced Leica Noctivid 10x42 binoculars sell for 100x (one hundred times) more. I would like to try a pair of those but I have less money than sense :-)
