Review: Punching above its weight class. - After a lot of research, I came across Carson's 3D-ED 10X42 binoculars. I initially intended on purchasing a pair of Nikon monarchs or Bushnell Legend HDs, but after reading testimonials about the tremendous value of these, I decided to give them a try. I'm not an optics expert by any means, but I've looked through expensive glass before. I'm familiar with the outstanding quality put out by Leica and Zeiss from experiences with binos owned by friends and family. In my experience and from extensive research, you get what you pay for in the world of optics. That being said, I can only surmise from trying these out that Carson is aggressively trying to increase their market share in the industry. The quality of this product mirrors that of binoculars that can be twice as expensive. To jump right into it, you're getting binoculars with lots of great qualities: -Multi coated lenses -Phase correction -Completely waterproof and nitrogen filled casing to prevent fogging and internal damage. -Generous eye relief (to the uninitiated this means the eye pieces screw out so you can find a "sweet" spot for the picture) -Excellent field of view at range -HIGH overall build quality -Innovative Bino Armor Deluxe case. I was skeptical, but it's clear a lot of thought went into designing this case. It works like they advertise it to. -Comfortable neck strap and back harness system. I didn't find any other binocular that includes these in this price range. -Included cleaning cloth. This isn't anything more special than what comes with a pair of glasses, but it's still appreciated! -LIFETIME NO NONSENSE WARRANTY. This is huge. Binoculars are expensive and complex tools. One bad drop can result in any pair of glasses requiring repair. It's a great relief knowing that even if I damage these by accident, I'll be covered. The meat and potatoes of this product is the image. I plan to get a lot of use from these for hikes, and to take on vacation to look out at objects from the beach. I haven't put these through the full ringer yet, but the quality can simply be described as fantastic so far. I would describe these as "bright" optics, meaning that they transmit a lot of light. The image is also sharp throughout. This means that you'll see detail not only centered in your view but also on the edges of the view. I haven't really found any downsides yet. You could argue the lack of lense caps is a problem along with the fact that the case isn't completely sealed from dust. This first issue is mitigated by the Bino Armor Deluxe case, given that the two are designed to be used together. Regarding the latter issue, this is easily solved by a ziploc bag when it's on your shelf. BOTTOM LINE: If you're looking in this price range, you'd be crazy not to have these on your short list. If you're looking at more expensive pairs in the sub $1000 range, you'd also be crazy not to entertain the idea of these. Hope this helps!
Review: Carson 3D's Great Value! - I was really happy with these Carson 3D's. They were perfect for what I was looking for - good binoculars that were not expensive. I tried many varieties and these performed just was well as the Nikon and other competitors - but I saved at least $100. They worked great at dawn and dusk which was very important to me. I liked the size, the feel of the rubberized coating, and the nice focus wheel movement. I used the neck strap - the case kept coming off and falling in the dirt, so after that happened a couple of times I said forget it and stopped using it - the case wasn't conducive to my deer hunting but I'm not going to ding them for the case because it is a nice design - you can order lens covers from them for free; they should include them in with the box though. They weren't heavy and had a crystal clear bright field of vision. Great value for the price! Great warranty too. I would highly recommend these to the average hunter or outdoors person.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy with confidence.
*by B***. on April 26, 2015*

For the Price I give these bino's five stars. The lens quality is comparable to some of the more expensive brands. After a lot of comparisons inside and outside I opted to save some money with these since my gear gets pretty beat up. I was going to go with the vortex diamondbacks due to the lifetime warranty, however since these had the same warranty with better quality picture it was a no brainer! Lets just hope that Carson follows through with their warranty promise. The light gathering ability and crisp image with these will make any outdoorsman happy. I have had these out in the mountains looking at the deer that have come down for the winter. I've been able to test these at many different distances.. the focus is great, the detail is amazing, the power is perfect, and even in dim light these really do a great job! Unless you are in the game for 5-600 dollar binoculars then these carsons are what you need and you wont be disappointed. The fit and feel is awesome. The only thing i find is that there is only one adjustment on the eye pieces and my optimal eye relief falls in between the first setting but luckily the twist up eye pieces stay where i leave them even if not at the middle setting. The case that comes with the binoculars is superb. I like that they give you the harness too but it is a little small even when fully adjusted. The only thing missing is some eye piece covers and objective lens covers. That would have put these binoculars over the top!! But if you keep them in the case then you don't need them. I am in Idaho and it is hard to find these binoculars in the store to compare. That is the reason i am writing this review so you can buy with confidence. But make sure you try many different pairs because comfort is everything when you have to look through a pair of binoculars for a few hours.
