 Great binoculars for the price Jul 04, 2008
By C. Chen
I purchased these binoculars for my wife in April 2008 after reading reviews in the following Web sites.
http://www.binoculars.com Alpen PRO 8x25
http://www.amazon.com Alpen PRO 10x25
They are pretty clear with the 430ft @ 1000 yards wide angle lens. The views are bright enough for the small 25mm object lens. My wife and I both like them for theater and outdoor.
I also purchased Pentax UCF II 8-16x21 Zoom Binoculars two weeks after buying the Alpen. My wife likes the Alpen better because the Alpen has sharper and brighter views than the Pentax. She does not get too dizzy by watching through the Alpen binoculars.

Great for football Dec 31, 2009
By Computer dad
I bought these to use at NFL games, and I am very satisfied. I have only used them a couple of times so far, but they are working out great.
They are small enough to fit in my pocket, a big plus. The included case is a good fit, and does not add much size at all. I don't think the case would add much protection if you dropped the binoculars, but will protect the lenses if you carry them in your pocket like I do.
The image is clear. The viewing angle is excellent - allowing for watching the entire offensive line area, or pocket at once even at short distances. I find the focus easy to adjust on the move allowing for following plays down field and quickly looking from the playing field to the bench areas.
I have used them at day and night games. So far the lowest temperature was about 15, and I experienced no fogging or clouding in the lenses.
I love the color, the compact form, and the contoured body which allows for a sure one-handed grip. They also seem very rugged.
If you want binoculars for spectator sports I think these are an excellent choice.

great binoculars Oct 29, 2010
By Laura
I'm so glad to have finally replaced my 30 year old pair with these to use for birding and other general uses. They're small and lightweight enough to carry for hours, and are a snap to quickly adjust. Mine are always out on my kitchen counter for quick closeups of birds at my feeders. I love them so much that I purchased a second set as a gift for relatives who attend frequent concerts. Highly recommended by me.

 nice compact binoculars Aug 25, 2011
By mabmouse
Good compact binoculars. Other reviews have been very informative about the optics, but I haven't seen anything online giving the exact size (which I really wanted to know before buying!). The dimensions Amazon gives are the size of the box, not the actual product. The binoculars themselves are (fully folded) 4.25" wide, 3.75" long, 2.5" thick.
I'd give them five stars if the eye relief were longer (I wear glasses), although they're better than the other compact binoculars I was considering.

Good binocular to watch concert and other events Oct 22, 2009
By Shaoxian Yang
"cyang"
I used this binocular to watch concert or shows. It is compact and easy of use. So far, it is be quite useful. The only thing that is not perfect is the light. it is not bright enough when the stage is very dark. However, you can still see clearly, it is just after a while your eyes feel streneous. But i guess it has to do with how big the lens is. That is a decision you made when you chose binocular. Remeber this binocular bears compact design. if lens are bigger, it won't be compact.
