I however enjoy themmore watching my grandson playing football. They let me see the plays up close. My daughter wanted a pair unfortunately i bought the wrong ones. So I returned hers and bought these again for her. Pay attention Andrew Tapia

A great deal for intermediate binoculars
- November 2, 2015[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the luna eclipse in September was upon us, my husband and I decided we wanted to take our godchildren to go see it away from the city lights. We researched telescopes as well as binoculars but it was a review that made us decide to try this little gem out. When we arrived to the store, we got the very last pair! When we arrived to our location and set up the binoculars, the images were amazing! Clear, focused and detailed. We all had an amazing time seeing the stages of the eclipse. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a step above a basic pair of binoculars.

Nikon
- September 16, 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very clear. Used on safari. However, lens cover caps kept falling off and lost few times. Need better quality lens covers and eye caps

Love it!
- February 8, 2020[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Little pricey to buy but once you feel the quality and use it often to magnify and appreciate far objects, you’ll forgive Nikon for the price tag. I recently started using it to watch celestial objects (moon, constellations, stars....) and I am thrilled. Except for the shaking that comes naturally from our own body, it did a great job magnifying the faaaaar away objects. The moon looked spectacular. Of course, you can look at the images online but once it was through just the binoculars, I felt like a child again. I wish I had a tripod for it.

Lovely product
- August 4, 2017[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, there is nothing negative about the clarity or quality of these binoculars. They are AWESOME and worthy of every star and "top binoculars under $100" nomination. My sole reason for only 4 stars is they were a bit cumbersome for me. I took them to Alaska and, although they dangled from my neck without bother, they were just a bit too big to lug around. My husband bought a comparable pair of Bushnells (8x42's) that were 2/3 the size. I also bought a pair of these for my Father in Law who came on the trip with us.

Great binoculars good price
- March 6, 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nikon Aculon a211 8x42 binoculars are simple and reliable. The rubber eye cups allow me to wear my glasses while using the binoculars. There is a diopter adjust on the right eye then it's just a matter of focus using the center wheel. Easy and quick and doable one handed. Not excessively heavy but the feel sturdy. There is a soft lightly padded nylon case and lens covers included. I chose Nikon for their reputation with optics and as a photographer I'm familiar with Nikon. Good color, easy to hold and focus, rubber on barrels feels secure. I use these for birding and critter photography. They are not water proof so I take the same protective precautions I would use for my camera. If you are looking for an inexpensive solid pair of binoculars I think you will like these.

Crystal Clear
- April 18, 2018[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had gifted to me a pair of internet brand binoculars that had a good rating of 60x60. Great reviews online. I honestly thought they were great. My kid dropped them and they broke and I had wanted a nicer pair. I use nikon cameras and so this was the natural choice for me. Man, was I wrong about the no name brand ones. These are awesome. Completely change what my expectation was in binoculars. These are great. If you are on the edge don't save the 30 bucks with the online ones. Just buy these.

Premium quality without a premium price tag
- February 3, 2018[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the ACULON A211 8x42 binoculars for my husband as a Christmas gift. We frequently have wildlife in the field behind our house and beyond our pond and wanted a low priced product that gave a clear view. I read many reviews before deciding on this brand. These binoculars didn't disappoint. The view is crystal clear and they are easy to adjust. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a lightweight pair of binoculars that provide a concise view but don't cost a fortune.
