Wow! Very good image quality at a bargain price.
I really wasn’t expecting much from these; a combination of high magnification and small diameter objective lenses usually means a dark image. Not in this case, though, clear and bright images are seen through these binoculars. I’m very impressed.
I wear glasses and found it was possible to use these by folding the eye cups down. Field-of-view is a bit more restricted when doing this as your eyes are further from the ocular lenses, but they are still perfectly usable.
The right lens has a dioptre adjustment to cater for differences in sight between eyes and there’s a good range available.
They are lightweight and don’t take up much room in a bag or backpack. There’s a decent carry case included which is useful as there’s no way to protect the optics if it’s rattling around in a bag.
Highly recommended.
Easy to hold
I have not used binoculars since I was a child and when I seen these I thought they would be great for walks,, and they are!.
They are compact and light, and I hardly notice them in my coat pocket.
I’m no professional, but to me they give good magnification and worked lovely looking a birds and the odd squirrel.
It took some time to learn how to adjust them, but overall very happy.
Seems to work well
I got this for my daughter who loves going to the National Parks that surround us. There are times when she wished she could see further and also spot some wildlife in the distance.
These binoculars seem to be thing for her. They are lightweight, good build quality and feel robust. Everything that moves on it moves smoothly and the clarity of the images are brilliant in light. Not yet tried the low night vision as where we are when the sun goes down then it is pretty much dark.
Since my daughter has been using these for a good few weeks now then only thing she said was that it can be difficult to ‘find’ things that she wanted to see. She also said that she had to keep it very steady or the movements slow and smooth as what she wants to see or is seeing will disappear.
I experienced the same problem as my daughter but I was able to hold the binoculars steady enough which my daughter has trouble doing.
It kind of remind me when I use my camera on my phone and zoom in 30x the slightest movement gets amplified and it becomes quire hard to use.
I dont believe this is the fault of the binoculars just the way the physics works.
Great value, great performance that work really well.
So I got these for my daughter to use at her Gran and Papa’s house as they have a window that backs on to a farmers field and even in the back garden they have various different birds and squirrels. On the farmer’s field there are Canadian geese and other birds as it gets quite wet. These binoculars perform very well for this function as the subjects are not really far away so the 12x magnification does really well, the objective lens of 25 allows enough light and area to make them easy to use.
The binoculars are fairly light and seem to have quite a robust construction. I haven’t tested these at lower light levels as it says they provide good low light vision but ultimately what I got them for and how they perform are what matters to me. In terms of how much they cost they are really good value for money given the performance.
pretty good
I recently had the opportunity to try out the 12×25 Compact Binoculars for Adults and Kids, and I was quite impressed with their performance. These binoculars are perfect for a wide range of activities, from birdwatching to attending concerts and sports games.
One of the things I liked most about these binoculars is their compact size. They’re small enough to easily fit in a pocket or bag, making them ideal for travel or outdoor adventures. Despite their small size, they still offer powerful 12x magnification, allowing you to see distant objects with clarity.
The folding eyepiece is another great feature of these binoculars. It allows you to adjust the eyepiece to the perfect distance for your eyes, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience every time. Plus, the low light vision capability means you can use these binoculars in dimly lit environments, such as theaters or at dusk.
Overall, I found the 12×25 Compact Binoculars to be a versatile and reliable option for anyone in need of a compact and portable pair of binoculars. Whether you’re exploring the great outdoors or enjoying a live performance, these binoculars are sure to enhance your viewing experience.
Great for the price
I have just moved into an area renowned for rare bird species, and wanted a decent, inexpensive pair of binoculars to try to spot some of them! These fit the bill perfectly. I am by no means an expert, but got the hang of using them in seconds and they work really well at an amazingly low price. They are small enough to fit into my handbag, making them easy to carry around with me while walking my dog in the nearby nature reserves, and already i have managed to catch sight of some rare birds and butterflies – I may have found a new hobby! I’m not sure I would necessarily label them as being for kids – they definitely have the feel of good quality field glasses – although I suppose looking through binoculars works for any age group! I am very happy with them, and would recommend to a casual user.

Despite being lightweight, these binoculars feel sturdy and durable. I’m confident they’ll withstand my daughters’ enthusiastic wildlife-watching adventures for a long time to come.

12x25 Compact Binoculars
This product was sent to me to review, as part of Amazon Vine. Below is my own real-world experience of using it.
In terms of quality, it appears to be well-made – the construction is robust, with a nice, rubberised finish that adds both a sturdy grip, and an element of weatherproofing. The movement of the middle hinge is fairly smooth, making it easy to adjust the eyepieces to suit your personal viewing angle – the eyepieces themselves have soft cups that don’t irritate the skin.
I did feel that the included neckstrap was not really adequate – the material used is thin, and tends to be pulled down a lot by the weight of the binoculars, making them
uncomfortable to wear around the neck.
During use, I found the picture quality to be very good – the focus wheel precision-tunes the image, to provide a clear shot of whatever you happen to be looking at. I particularly enjoy birdwatching, and feel that this pair would be a great one to use for travel – especially because of its compact size.
In summary, a good value item.
Not as easy to understand
These binoculars seems to be of good quality however I’m no expert. There is a carry case, a strap, instructions and a soft cloth to wipe the lens. There was no protective cover on the lens on arrival.
I’ts not as easy to use as expected and I’m having some difficulties to understand how to use this so it is not as straight forward as I originally thought but as I said, I’m no expert.
Excellent binoculars for the budge
It turns out that binoculars have become somewhat better since I bought my first pair over thirty years ago. Who knew? These are really good for the money, crystal clear, and easy to use. They’re also really lightweight and that’s great as we’ve put them in the conservatory where my mother can use them to watch birds in the garden. As she’s got arthritis she needs lightweight, easy to use gear now and this applies.
She’d actually recently bought a more powerful pair, and they’re great, but they’re also much larger and heavier. These ones give her another option if she’s sat around for a long time watching, and they’re small enough to be pocketable – in a coat that is, not a trouser pocket unless you’re wearing cargo trousers.
For the money, they’ve impressed me a lot and they’d make a great gift for a youngster, or anyone who wants to watch birds or wildlife but isn’t going to do so for hours on end. They’d be good for hikes and the like as well as they’re so lightweight.
Compac
Great compact binoculars. Comes with a carrying case so you can carry/store them safely.
It is easy to use them and adjust them. I am not a pro in using binoculars and was happy that I was able actually see things using binoculars. They are quite compact so it is easy to carry them around. I must say these binoculars good even for children as my child enjoys watching birds in the park and now takes binoculars each time that we go for a walk.
In my opinion these are great binoculars.
Ideal for a beginner like me
For a beginner like me who wants to get into birdwatching, these binoculars are just what I need:
*the instructions are clear and straightforward, giving step-by-step guidance on adjusting the diopter on the right-hand lens to set the focus for both eyes;
*they are lightweight and compact so ideal for slipping into my pocket;
*they are comfortable to hold and use;
*12x magnification is perfectly adequate for my needs;
*the focus is easily adjusted;
* the range of vision and clarity is good;
*they seem well made and durable.
For 21.99 (at the time of ordering) these binoculars seem good value to me, and are just what I need for my new bird watching hobby.
Excellent Quick use Binocluars
These binoculars from the LAKWAR Store come in a nice compact carry case with instructions and shoulder strap.
The binoculars are 12 x 25 with a 16mm large eyepiece.
Setting the binoculars up to begin with is a simple process of using the right hand focus adjuster for a clear image and then using the central focus to bring both eye lenses into focus.
The binoculars are green and black and have a tactile rubbery grip to them which makes them easy to handle when you need them. There is a pivot in the centre of the binoculars so that you adjust them easily for each person that uses them.
On both lenses are rubber cups which round your eyes and make viewing through the binoculars very comfortable.
The image quality through the binoculars is clear and ideal for bird spotting or for when on general days out walking and hiking especially as they are light weight and easy to carry in a storage bag,
The binoculars do not come with lens covers although this is not be required and would be a further hinderance when trying to quickly look at a distant object whilst out and about and they come in a waterproof carry bag as well anyhow.
Overall these are brilliant binoculars and well priced for everyday outdoor use and I thoroughly recommend them.
Good value binoculars
The first thing I will say is that I’m no expert when it comes to binoculars and just wanted a pair for those occasional country and seaside walks.
These came in a pouch, which has a handy belt loop. They’re quite compact and not particularly heavy. Making them highly portable.
They’re fixed 12×25, which given my use is perfectly fine.
It does say they have large eye pie es,but I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s the case,but my knocks limited on these things.
Build quality looks to be pretty good and the material feels robust enough.
At 21.99, I can’t complain about the price.
I hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative, and useful. Thanks for reading.
If only wasn't fixed zoom
The 12×25 Compact Binoculars are good for both adults and kids. They are lightweight and easy to handle. The folding eyepiece design is convenient, and the low-light vision is surprisingly good, allowing for clear views even at dusk. They’ve been great for birdwatching and will come with me on my travels. The build quality feels sturdy and durable. I can recommend them to anyone in need of portable and powerful binoculars!
Not for kids?
Nicely made pocket sized binoculars. 12×25 (12 = magnification / 25 = diameter of objective lens)
Designed to be ultra portable, observing wide field, not the best for low light situations, usually for day light situations due to the small light collecting objective (25).
For many bino’ enthusiasts this size isn’t popular, the 12 magnification being handheld, you need a steady hand, most opt for 8 or 10 magnification for adults. With these you also have to pan your view as your field of view will be narrow / focused, not wide like landscape. So depending on your needs, especially considering these are budget entry aimed, and for children, I wouldn’t suggest them for children. Don’t get me wrong the size is good but for a child they usually recommend between 7 – 8 on magnification. 12 x magnification amplifies any movement if it’s not totally still, thus making them VERY shaky if not mounted or supported. Thus not for kids in my / and enthusiasts opinions. Do your homework people.
Above all said these are nice, well made, clear image (for the price), supplied with a case, and lanyard. As the objective lens is only 25 the image is OK (for me) but lack being dynamic / clear that a larger objective (light gathering size) brings to your eye. Usually 32 is considered the mid point.
Nice touch that these are waterproof, but there’s no IP rating to classify it’s rating?
The eye piece has a soft cup around it’s circumference which is good. Overall these binoculars have a good build quality and feel to them.
IF 12×25 is what you seek, then these at this price is GOOD. 5/5
Compact, lightweight and clea
The binoculars are compact, lightweight and offer a very clear view.
The main focus is easily adjustable but the right eyepiece adjustment is a little too easy to change (accidentally) in my view. I think it would have been better for there to have been a little more resistance when rotating to adjust the right eyepiece focus, to avoid accidental adjustment.
