Tony DiMancari: I've purchased several brands looking for a great set of compact, lightweight binoculars. These are an excellent size and weight. Considering the reputation for Steiner's high-quality optics, I expected a lot more than they delivered for the price.

These are lighter and more compact than my Optics Diamondback HD Binoculars and about the same optical quality. There is less distortion around the edges.

The reason for three stars is that they just don't compare the either of my Leupold binoculars' optical quality. My BX-2 Alpine HD Binoculars are better quality (heavier and much bigger) and at 60% of the Seiner prices. Side-by-side, I found the glass to be better with my BX-1 Rogue Binoculars, 8x25mm which are $110.

I really wanted to love these. They will be fine, just not the premium quality I expected from the brand and reviews. At twice the price, Leupold is a better choice unless the size and weight are the most important factors to you. Even then, I think the BX-1 Rogue Binoculars might be a better choice even though they are a bit bulkier.

Peter: Die Qualität ist hervorragend und lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig. Der mitgelieferte Beutel eignet sich perfekt für den Transport. Ich habe es immer im Urlaub und auf Wanderungen dabei. Die Vergrößerung reicht meistens. Man muss sich aber im Klaren sein, dass damit auf weite Distanzen keine Zeitung mehr gelesen werden kann. Dafür ist das Gewicht aber ausschlaggebend für mich. Einige Stürze hat es auch schon problemlos überlebt.

John Naylor: Optics are pretty decent but the focus is very sensitive so it takes very little to through it off. Once the focus is set it stays put.

The eye cups are a little awkward for me as I have glasses. You have to peel them down, given the design it would be easier if they we round, if you only have two eyes rather than four you might prefer this style.

This unit doesn’t come with lens caps to protect the objective lens or the eye piece but it does have a soft case that should provide some storage protection. There’s the usual straps to hang from your neck or you can attach it to the case.

I have a 10x50 Steiner that has amazingly sharp images. This unit seems somewhat less so but that could be a function of the smaller objectives letting less light. As I wanted this for my boat or bird watching I’m ok with the trade as it’s much lighter as well as significantly more affordable

David Fooks: Dropped my binoculars last fall, the 2 views wouldn't form one any more. They weren't cheap, so I figured I would see what it would cost to get them fixed. Phoned Steiner and accually got to talk to a person. He asked a few questions, then informed me they would be repaired or replaced no charge. It just cost me shipping to them. Very happy with the customer service, and I really like the binoculars.

Amazon Customer: Very well made binoculars. Small enough to fit in a pocket yet very powerful and clear. We’ll worth the money. Great buy.

Kindle Customer: I’m using these 10x26 compact Steiner binoculars for birdwatching. The clarity and color is amazing. The binoculars have a nice weight and fit comfortably in my somewhat large lady’s hands. The focus wheel is large and easy to adjust but I wish they had a larger depth of field. I have to adjust the focus more often than with my old Nikon 9x25 compact binoculars and I find that annoying. Birds move around quite a bit but when a bird cooperates and will hold still for a minute, it looks amazing because the Steiner’s optics are exceptional. Every aspect of these binoculars feels high quality.

wildlife: I engage in wildlife photography and rely on binoculars to seek out creatures to capture digitally, and to study their behavior in their natural habitat. The first thing I noticed while breaking the seal and opening the box to my new Steiner BluHorizon 10x26 Binoculars is that they have a really nice weight to them—the weight of quality I will come to realize, and just right for their compact size. Although the supplied neoprene pouch has a belt loop, while in the field these field glasses will reside in my photo-vest upper chest pocket when not being viewed through. Then as I slipped them out of the pouch and held them I was quite impressed by how good they feel in my hands, and by how easy it is to get a steady grip on them due to their textured rubberized, rainproof armor. The teardrop-shaped rubber eyecups comfortably encircle the eyes and assist in quick eye positioning, and also aid in blocking peripheral light, wind and dust particles from distracting the eyes and disrupting viewing. Additionally, the eyecups can fold down and out of the way if viewing with eyeglasses. Their double-hinge design constructed on a durable metal bridge allows for compact...
