Summary: Avoid These for Several Reasons
Comment: Buying these are like buying a cheap bike. They'll probably stay in your drawer and quash any interest you have in either viewing celestial or terrestrial (or in some cases, telestial) objects. In short, these binocs will probably last at least a lifetime because they're so poor in rendering a respectable image. Seriously, buy a NIKON. You won't regret it. Also, if the people who gave these binocs a good review knew what they were buying, they wouldn't be buying entry level Bushnell binocs.
There are so many things going on when binoculars are focusing an image, things like chromatic aberration. Colors focus at slightly different points and a good lens has to bring them all together into one crisp image. The best way to see what I'm talking about is by picking up a pair of these binocs and then comparing them directly with a decent pair. Now please realize, even NIKON isn't considered GREAT, just decent. To get GREAT optics, plan on spending six or seven hundred clams, and more than a grand for super-photo quality optics. But, as with bicycles and everything else, there is usually a point of diminishing marginal return somewhere along the way. The basic rule of thumb is to NOT TO BUY CHEAP. If your binocs have Busruby-coated lenses, run, don't walk away from them! (These Bushnells aren't that bad, but your eyes deserve crisp, contrasty images, and with these binocs, you'll find yourself first focusing and then refocusing, vainly trying to find that sweet spot of clarity that never comes.)
So what are you doing still reading this? Point your mouse to a NIKON or try to find a pair of these used. You should be able to find them cheap.

Summary: What a steal!
Comment: I paid $29 for these binoculars. Locally in stores they were twice that much. I'm giving them five stars because I think they're great value for the money. The lens caps are cheap, the case is a bit cheap too. But the binocs themselves are awesome. Great view, easy to focus, and no distortion when looking at landscapes. I looked at Jupiter a few nights ago, and had just the slightest trace of optical aberration. I could just make out the 4 big satellites and I live in the suburbs of a major city. I can't wait to look again when I'm out in the middle of nowhere.

Summary: Very nice!
Comment: Man, for the price it is one decent piece of equipment for my modest needs of occasional tourist. It also got some tough treatment and withstood it heroically. It is sharp enough for me. If you need a binocular of the size for general field trip where kids and other people who do not care too much about gentle optics will use it, it is one you wish to buy. On other hand, if you know binoculars and expect top performance you need something more refined. For a general, not fancy, public it is awesome buy!

Summary: Buyer's regret due to cheap parts
Comment: Based on the good reviews that I read here, I was expecting the same quality of another Bushnell that I bought for my son a decade ago. Unfortunately, this model came apart once I pulled it out of the box. The focus lever stopped working because the eyepiece attachments to the focus lever were secured by a cheap & thin plastic washer that crumbled at first use. I could have asked for a refund, but preferred to fix it using a custom-fit metal wash, attached to the original plastic cap with strong epoxy glue. I hope that it'll now hold for many years. I would not have bought it however if I knew that its plastic parts were so weak.

An exceptional go-everywhere binocular, the Falcon is a great companion for sporting events, sightseeing outings, nature study, backpacking, theatre or concerts. Features include Bushnell porro prism coated optics for super sharp images. Affordably priced, and offered in two magnifications, these binoculars provide the detail that you would expect from a Bushnell product.
