POLDR 12X25 Small Pocket Binoculars Compact Adults,Mini Kids Binoculars Boys for Bird Watching,Concert Theater Opera

These are great, not bad for price and have a good magnification. Bought for hikes because they are small and light.

Compact, good for travel. Easy to use. Good quality for vision. I use them for bird watching.

I really like these little binoculars. I take them with me when I go for a walk, and they are very useful for bird watching. The magnification is very good. It can be a little challenging to find things when I see something I want to look at with them since the field of view is small, but I am definitely enjoying using them. They are small enough that they fit in to my pocket. I even use them when birdwatching at home. I have a pair of 10x50 binoculars, but I rarely use them now as I like these much better.

There is literally nothing I dislike about these binoculars; they are worth more than what I paid for! Prior to buying these, I had a more spendy pair of Barska opera glasses. When one of the objective lenses fell off and got lost, I scrambled to replace them as quickly as I could. I really didn't want to spend as much money as I had on the Barska brand, and I was very unsure about buying a pair of binoculars from a brand I didn't know and for a price lower than $15. All those fears were cast aside when the Poldr 8 X 21's came in the mail. They are truly small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but don't be fooled by the size: they pack a good punch! I use my Poldr's for bird watching, but found that they are powerful enough for me to see distances much further away. The Poldr's come with their own carrying case that can be attached to your belt, a lens cleaning cloth, and clear, easy to understand directions on how to focus the binoculars on the subjects being viewed. The eyecups are rubber and can be folded down so that you can use these binoculars without having to remove your prescription eye wear. One of the factors asked to be rated for this product is the "night vision". If these have night vision, it's not anything like what I thought it would be. I think they are referring to these binoculars having night vision because they have "BaK4 prisms". I did a little research on it. Poldr binoculars are manufactured in China, and Chinese BaK4 is completely different than what Americans think of when they hear that term. The Chinese version of BaK4 prisms are made from an entirely different kind of glass, PSK3, which is much cheaper to make than BaK4; it also has a lower refractive index. I mention this because I don't want anyone to be confused (as I was) regarding what BaK4 means, and how it differs from what we think of when we hear BaK4. Bak4 is a glass designation used by Schott AG, an old and respected German manufacturer of optical glass. BaK stands for BaritleichKron (German for "Barium Crown"). It is used for prisms in most (but not all!) high-end binoculars. It has a higher refractive index than BK7 glass (another Schott designation).In other words, the night is not going to be lit up when you view it through these binoculars; night will still be just as dark. Now push that aside, because the bottom line is that the POLDR binoculars are a great value and a great product for the money. I'm glad I purchased them!

I'm reviewing the 8x21 version of these. Note that this particular pair is produced by the millions in China and stamped with various silly made-up words like "Poldr" or whatever random Latin letters were smushed together to create a "brand name" that will be extinct in another year or two. They're all the same and you'll be able to recognize them by their shape.I'm a binocular aficionado, I have several pairs. I wanted to get a pair that I could take to the third-world on vacation and not worry if they were lost, stolen or broken. These are decent ones for that purpose.They are, in fact, 8x magnification, compared with my other (good) 8x binoculars, so that's nice. A lot of the cheapie no-name binocs overstate their magnification. Anything over 10x in this price range probably isn't that powerful. At this price-range, don't go higher than 8x because you won't be able to hold them steady and they will be dark and difficult to see through.Fit and finish are pretty bad. The lenses are reasonably clear, however. Clarity falls away around the edges of the glass, as should be expected at this price-point. Collimation is barely ok. Focus knob is surprisingly smooth. The leash/neck strap cannot be removed so I took scissors and cut it off because I won't be needing it for binoculars this cheap. If I drop them off a cliff it's not exactly a big deal.Carrying pouch is cheap and poor but usable. The brand name that's printed on the item can be removed with some rubbing alcohol and a fingernail, which is nice.Overall, for the price, these are 4 stars. Quality compared to everything available in all price ranges is 2 stars. Averaged out to 3. Your mileage may vary because I have a feeling the quality control of these is terrible. Keep purchasing and returning until you get a decent pair. Or just spend more and get something you don't have to screw around with such as Bushnell, Nikon, Celestron...

I bought these in order to go to a Broadway play. They work well and are very small like opera glasses.

Perfect pocket size binoculars, great for hiking because they’re lightweight and fit in a pocket or small satchel. The clarity and image quality for the price and size is spot on.. And the price made these very affordable for my teenage sons who tend to be rough on things and forget where they put stuff.

I recently bought 18 monoculars for a comparison video. I also picked up these binoculars to test them against. I didn't expect much from $20 binoculars, but these surprised me. They're solid and well built. Focusing is smooth. And they produce fairly bright, crisp images. In fact, they easily out-performed most of the monoculars I compared them to. They're a bit small for larger adults. But they'd be great starter optics for kids or smaller adults. Or a handy compact to keep in your purse, glove box, or backpack. This pair is going in my camera bag for nature shoots.
