LONG REVIEW:Full disclosure, we were offered a gift card for our honest review. While I didn’t appreciate the verbiage hinting that if they didn’t get a 5 star review that I may not get the card, I expect them to honor it regardless as bias in my reviews are NOT for sale.We’ve received two of the orange binoculars since the first one failed. They didn’t ask probing questions and the replacement process was a little unusual (they provided a gift card for the entire value minus a penny), I…

Pros
  • Justyt exactly what we ordered
Cons
  • The focus may be difficult for kids to adjust on their own.

Looks like a tiny toy

I'm returning this item without opening it. Looking at the size of the box, it looks like a $5 toy from a swap meet. I can purchase real binoculars of a known brand for this price.Also, there is a seal on the box that says "Please make sure the seal isn't broken. Void isn't appear before opening the cases." I'm not sure what that means but if it means it can't be returned if it's opened I'm not taking any chances.

Pros
  • ‎1 x Operations Manual & 1 x Color Box, 1 x Lens cleaning cloth, 1 x Lanyard, 1 x 8x21 Binoculars, 1 x Binoculars carrying bag & 1 x Drawstring velvet bag
Cons
  • The product may not operate well in extreme temperatures.

These are EXCELLENT binoculars for kids.

I bought these for my son's birthday. He likes to go on hikes with us and look at birds and animals with the binoculars. He uses them for trips to the zoo as well.I was really impressed with the optical quality on these when I received them. My mother is a bird-watcher and she has a few of really expensive pairs of pro-level binoculars, but I think these are nearly as good as any of those. The optics are bright and focus well and are really sharp.They articulate to fit different eye distances…

Pros
  • ☆Super Safety Toys: Soft rubber surrounded eyepieces are included for eye protection so children don't hurt their eyes or face. Non-slip scratch, the grip has been ergonomically patented designed to fit the hands of kids.
Cons
  • The product may not be easy to use without proper instruction.

Came damaged with the eyepiece smushed. Not delivery problem.

loved the reviews and color choices but since it works with glasses or is for kids there is a floppy rubber piece attached to the eye piece. That would weird my kid out and me as well and this came with the rubber piece crushed and smushed. Not a delivery issue, a packaging one. Box is cheap looking, faded, and thin. The bag the binoculars come in is cheap and paper like. I had thought it could be a gift but at 25 dollars, not worth it. returned and refunded and ordered other amazon binoculars…

Pros
  • My 6 year old son thinks these are the coolest binoculars, made just for his size 😊
Cons
  • The design may not be aesthetically pleasing to some buyers.

Works great! Doesn't feel or look like a "kids version "

I ordered a kids set because I have a small head and wanted to make sure I could adjust the width to fit. The fit was great and I am very impressed with how far in the distance I could see! There are two places to adjust the focus which I have found great success in viewing items at a far distance like birds, a lighthouse off the coastline, and small frogs and turtles in a pond on a recent hike.The binoculars come with a long attached strap which makes carrying them while on hikes very easy - I

Pros
  • My grandson love it.
Cons
  • The lenses could get easily scratched, affecting the quality of image.

The Seller Not Responsive

Like many of you probably bought the binoculars for your children so they could be adventurers. Unfortunately, please be aware that they camouflage pattern may not be exactly as pictured when you get it. I have gone back and forth with the seller telling them that there's a defect because when I received my binoculars the pattern was stretched so it looked more like a mossy oak camo rather than the digital camo that's pictured. My son liked it because it reminds him of Minecraft. The seller…

Pros
  • ‎OBUBY
Cons
  • The magnification may not be suitable for kids with visual impairments.

We are very pleased with the clarity, sturdiness and price of these binoculars. They were gifted to a four-year-old who absolutely loves them. He was so excited it was difficult to teach him how to focus them; but, that will come in time. They are perfect for little hands.The added bonus of a neck strap, lens cleaning cloth, and two cases makes this a great buy.Instructions for focusing and care are very clear. They are also a great little pair of binoculars for adults who want to have…

Pros
  • Gift for child
Cons
  • The price tag may deter some people from purchasing.

Your kid will love this!

I bought these binoculars as a birthday gift for a child but my boys loved it so much that I had to give in and let them have it! It is so easy to use the focus and adjust to your child's face, I didn't even have to explain anything to the kids, they figured it out!Funny enough, we looked out the window and suddenly there are 4 hot air balloons outside way up in the sky! It was the perfect occasion, we tried to see it through the binoculars and we got such a great focus that we were able to…

Pros
  • It was extremely easy to use
Cons
  • The magnification may not be strong enough for some outdoor activities.

exactly what was needed

I bought these for my 5yr. old Grandson. He is fascinated with the stars, moon and planets and i thought this would be a good way for him to view the night sky without all the fuss of a telescope. he was so excited when he got them and couldn't wait for nightfall to come.they were a perfect size, for his small hands. and adjustable to fit his smaller face. i love the fact that they are rubber coated, for protection from the drops, i am sure to come. the eye area is soft for comfort and comes…

Pros
  • It’s a very sturdy gift considering My Granddaughter is Three
Cons
  • The focus may be too sensitive and difficult to adjust for children.

Nice, sturdy binoculars for kids!

Purchased for grandkids for watching the wildlife on our pond in backyard. Pics of my granddaughter watching our dog out by the pond. It brings everything up closer. We have a animal that lives in the bank of our pond and we would watch it from the house swim out into the pond, but we could not tell what it was. With the binoculars we can see it close enough to tell it’s a muskrat.( don’t know if that good or bad to have a muskrat living on your pond)We also see deer and ducks.The binoculars…

Pros
  • ‎8x21-Binoculars-A412
Cons
  • The controls may be difficult for children to access and maneuver.

Good kids binoculars

Gave this as a gift to3 year old. He loved them. The view is very clean and the focus is easy, should last him several years specially after he learns which end to look through. Tried to show he but he would not give them up long enough to do that. They were a hit.

Pros
  • ‎3.5 x 2.3 x 1.5 inches
Cons
  • The product may arrive with missing pieces or defective parts.

Pros
  • ‎Obuby

Very good quality for price

I got these for my son's Easter basket. We have used them several times now. These are almost as good as my $200 binoculars. There is definitely a difference, these don't get as clear a view and everything looks just a smidge farther away, but I was really surprised. They are definitely more than what I was expecting.The only downside was the plastic stopper keeping the string in broke, so we pulled out the other side to remove the string entirely.Also, the rubber eyepiece never straightened…

Pros
  • Whether you're bird watching, hiking, or simply observing the world around you, Obuby Binoculars' compact design makes them lightweight and easy to take on the go, perfect for kids aged 3-12
Cons
  • The binoculars may not be easy to adjust quickly in the field.

Don’t expect much: my feedback

Binoculars purchased to see if the mail was delivered. Our box is about 700 feet from the house. These don’t focus well or do what I thought they would but may be nice for childrens play

Pros
  • ‎Plastic
Cons
  • The product may be too simple and not engage children for long periods of time.

Excellent binoculars for kids!

These binoculars are easy for little hands to hold and they fit their faces better so they can actually see in the distance!

Pros
  • Nature Exploration Toys
Cons
  • The product may cause eye strain or fatigue after extended use.

Great for young children

I was hoping these binoculars would be good for kids up to age 11 or 12. They are too ‘toyish’ for an older child. But they’re great for young ones

Pros
  • From backyard adventures to family vacations, Obuby Binoculars offer endless possibilities for discovery and excitement, making them a great investment for parents who want to foster their child's sense of wonder and imagination
Cons
  • The product may not be well-known or recommended by outdoor enthusiasts or experts

Crisp view: my feedback

I focused for my grandchildren magnification is great. My 5 yr old can see great. My 4 yr old doesn't quite get it but he will grow into them. Can get something for one and not the otherMy only complaint is one of the straps broke in about a week

Pros
  • Grandson loved these!!!
Cons
  • The design may be too complicated for some children to handle.

Decent but cheaply made

Decent binoculars but the way the strap is attached is not very good. We've had these one day and the strap attachment has already broken. It's a little piece of plastic that is glued to the binoculars. I'm going to try and superglue it back but wish there was a better connection. Strap is also not a breakaway (safety) strap so be aware of that.

Pros
  • ‎Unisex-child
Cons
  • The product may require additional accessories for optimal use.

Good Kids Binoculars

The kids binoculars are great. The packaging was not however. The binoculars unit was stuffed into a very small box so that the eye units were folded/bent out of shape. I had to return one unit and get a replacement which had the same problem but to a lesser degree.

Pros
  • Explore the outdoors in stunning detail with Obuby Binoculars, designed with high-resolution optics that provide crystal-clear visibility from distances both near and far
Cons
  • The optics may not be as clear and sharp as other brands on the market.

These are very small

Pay attention to the size posted. These are good for my 6yo grandson and he likes them. I can't see a bigger kid getting much use from them.

Pros
  • ☆Professional Real Binoculars: Easy to focus, the leaves of a tree 122ft/1000 yards away came into sharp focus. The compact binocular can be adjusted by turning the center knob to easily match the eye distance gap for each child.
Cons
  • The binoculars may not come with a neck strap or harness for easier carrying.
