Hontry Binoculars for Adults and Kids, 10×25 Compact Binoculars for Bird Watching, Theater and Concerts, Hunting and Sport Games

Exceeded expectations.
Clarity and light gathering very good for this price. Wel above expectations. Size is perfect. I carry them in the car or in my pocket a lot. It took a couple of years to review but they’re good as new

Good item for the price.
Used my new binoculars yesterday while walking around the lake. Got to see a young species of heron (?) much more clearly that I could have without my new binoculars! It was very well concealed on the downed tree trunk, but I was able to see the bluish tinge on its beak and its beautiful orange eyes! I have used larger more powerful binoculars that my Dad paid much more $$$ for. But, for a small (wore the case on my belt) inexpensive pair, I am satisfied!Note: I wish vendors would make understanding the strength of magnification a lot easier for us uninformed types!!

Great Bino
I use these binoculars for work and they are small and compact. They are the perfect size and the quality is great. I woukd recommend

Money well spent!

Okay, so here’s my quasi scientific, slightly shaky review. I was motivated to write this because these are seriously a great buy, but the 10x mag seems to be a fantasy. My method was to focus on the church and then put my phone camera to the eyepiece and try to hold it all steady. I think the photos do a reasonable job of indicating magnification, field of view, and general image brightness/sharpness. But don’t get hung up on blur etc towards the edges as this is more a factor of me trying to align and hold the camera to the eyepiece. I tried to centre on the rain spout. Hopefully the full size images, including my reference codes, will be displayed when you click on them.The Hontry (Hontry 10×25) is compact, light, quick to focus and easy to do so with one finger, and provides a bright, colourful image. I’d say it’s mag factor is closer to 8 (compare with the Hawke 8×25 – H 8×25 photo). It may even be slightly less than 8 (judging by eye). I’ve had the Hawke several years now and I think they were something like 5x the price. The focusing is also a tad stiff, making it a little awkward to do so with one hand. I had a couple of old 10x mag binoculars to hand: my ancient Chinon 10×50 (AC 10×50 photo) and my dad’s old, little Vivitar (OV 10×25 photo). These are good comparisons showing the Hontry seems nowhere near the 10x mag. My ancient Chinon is a beast. Honestly, it’s the last thing you’d want dangling from your neck whilst out walking. The old Vivitar is small and light but the image is, frankly, somewhat blurry and dull.I bought my first of these Hontrys to let my 2.5 year old son play with because he’d discovered my dad’s old Vivitar and wouldn’t put it down. But I found the Hontry image so bright and clear that I’ve let my son keep playing with the Vivitar! Yes, the 10x claim seems utter fabrication, but for bird and wildlife watching out on the move, and something that you can easily slip in a pocket, it’s great. Bear in mind magnification is useless if an image is blurry. I first bought two; one for my son and one for my elderly mum. As I’ve said, I ended up “keeping” the Hontry for myself. I think at around £20 each, they’re a steal. Soon after I managed to pick up another for around £19. At these prices, for something around 8x mag that’s easy to carry and provides bright, sharp images, this is seriously a great commodity binocular that you can take anywhere and aren’t afraid to. Keep one in the car glovebox, in the shed, at your mistress’s…
