Bushnell Engage Binoculars, Matte

Had these on my watchlist for a while and bought them on a whim when I saw the crazy low price (considering that these are 3 times the price in NZ), figured it was worth the gamble of buying unseen. Optics are great, CA is much less than other non-ED binoculars I've used, not entirely eliminated but that's almost impossible so meh. Image is bright and sharp, perfectly adequate low light performance. These binoculars are somewhat prone to shake, that is pretty standard for most 10x binoculars, opt for 8x if you have shaky hands. Weight is pretty standard for the category, rubber armour is on the thinner side so I would avoid dropping these binoculars if you can. Comfortable to hold, armour is pretty grippy despite being thin. Locking diopter takes some getting used to, works fine. Focus is slightly stiff but will loosen with time, perfectly usable out of the box. Looks very stylish and proffessional if that matters to you at all. Accessories are basic, carry case is functionable but flimsy, will be purchasing a better one seperately. Objective lens caps are not the best and pop off the lenses at every opportunity. Strap is functionable but basic, have used better. All in all, if you are looking for good optics and either don't care about accessories or are happy to buy 3rd party accessories, these are an excellent choice! Considering the low price paid, amazing value!

I bought these from Amazon Warehouse so got a great price point. Very happy with these. I think a lot of them were returned because the 10x42 may have a bit more tendency to black out when looking at the peripheral than some others. But just about any binocular will black out if you don't use it right. As for the images, they're nice and clean with nice color rendition. Interestingly, they do have some field curvature, but the peripheral field is pretty darn sharp, but at a slightly closer focus point. So the net result is an apparent increase in depth of field when viewing 3D subjects like birds in a bush, livestock on a field, etc. To be honest, I'll take field curvature over peripheral coma any day of the week..and in the < $600 price bracket you're going to get one or the other... The sweet spot itself is fairly large. I bought them for birding and they are very nice for that with 8' min focus, very sharp images, great color and very smooth bokeh. Also has a very nice build quality.

Excellent general binoculars for the price point. Bushnell produces a great product and these were as expected. Now own two pair and love them both.

Please binoculars are incredible value! I'm very pleased with the clarity and ease of operation.

After over a year of using and comparing this binoculars with my Redfield Rebel binoculars I finally realized the difference. Note that I returned a binoculars with three times the price of Redfield. Just recently I returned another binoculars which is rated as being equal or better than $500 or more binoculars. After comparing this for countless times under the tree shadows and bushes, distant signs, structural details at long distances, dusk and dawn, cloudy and sunny I came to conclusion that it outperformed the other binoculars I mentioned above. My recent hunt involves arduous hikes to 10,000 feet with rapid ascend and this binoculars is a perfect companion due to its light weight, ruggedness, and EXO water/fog/dirt barrier. While I have only taken it outdoors only several times due to my reliance on my Redfield and now broken Steiner Predator, it will be with me from now on for all my hunting trips. Note that I believe that I have EDX Model (the Bushnell website shows EDX as BEN1042 and mine is BEN1042 SH) and I don't know about other models of Engage.

What more can I say, they work, they haven't fallen apart and i can use them while wearing glasses.

Great goggles Very high-quality and reasonable price

It took me a long time looking up reviews of a number of different models and brands of binoculars before I finally settled on these, and I have no regrets. With proper adjustment, you can look at things that are within roughly 8 feet of you. Much closer than that and they'll start getting blurry, but these weren't made for looking at something that is already close enough to touch. I used these to look at the moon and I saw craters that I never knew existed before. The image is clear, even in fairly low-light conditions, and everybody who has looked through mine has had nothing but good things to say. You get what you pay for with a pair of binoculars like these.

Great binocular as expected from Bushnell. Optics are superb with accurate colour reproduction and razor sharp details across then fov. The body is very well made Andy feels solid. They are quite small which make them ideal for travel.

Looking through these binoculars is like seeing a movie. It feels just like these 4K high resolution television wild life documentary. I use it to watch birds in my feeders from my balcony (2-4 meters). Image is amazingly clear, sharp, more vivid then in reality, especially up close for birds. Optics is one of those fields where you get what you pay for. There is a true difference between a pair of binoculars at 50$ and 250$ I have owned Bushnell products for over 40 years now, to my entire satisfaction. I recommended these binoculars to bird lovers and everyone else.

These are best binoculars I have used, I have the 10x50 and 10x42, people at my archery club are amazed at the brightness and clarity, most have vortex binoculars, after looking through my they feel ripped off, the only thing could be better is the lens caps , if you have bino harness it doesn't matter , I use one so doesn't matter to me.

Sans être un expert en jumelles, pour un prix de moyenne gamme, je les trouve de très bonne qualité optique (en observation diurne). Je n'ai pas eu la chance d'essayer des modèles très haut de gamme mais quatre fois plus cher. Le réglage dioptrique avec verrouillage est un plus agréable. Pas besoin de re-régler à chaque fois qu'on les sort de l'étui. Côté pratique, les bouchons avant ont un peu tendance à tomber, il faut bien les fixer le plus en arrière possible. Je trouve le poids raisonnable pour des 10x42

No lo supe sino hasta que recibí el producto, una lástima, parecía de buena calidad.
