Hands-Free Binoculars Glasses for Opera, TV, Fishing, Concerts, Theater

sO I just got these aND MY INITIAL impression is fairly good. Frankly I wasn't expecting much, but they feel solid, not cheap plastic. Because of that they are a little heavy. I have some serious eye problems, so when I look at a 55 inch TV from 10 feet away it is very blurry. Tested these out in my office and I can read book titles across the room pretty clearly. Would be great if they came with a comfortable elastic strap to help keep them from slipping down. the lenses adjust manually (not auto-focus) and they don't have the dual adjustments that decent binoculars have. But I am going to try them on my TV now and see how they work. Then I am going to design a pair that solve all the shortcomings of these and market them at a reasonable price and make a fortune! LOL (FYI the so-called Low Vision clinics sell various items like this that are pretty good but you have to have a prescription and with all 'medical devices' they rip you off and charge you (or Medicare, or your insurance company) 10-50 times what they cost to manufacture.

I'm waiting for cataract surgery and use these to watch TV until then. They work well although I can't see the entire screen. I have also used them to check out stuff on my roof (I lead a very exciting life). Anyway, I only gave 4 stars because one of the little screws came loose on one of the hinges and then fell out and got lost. Found a guy who replaced the screw and added a bolt and tightened it up. But ever since then, I have to tighten that side every few days or else it comes loose and the glasses get wobbly. I also tighten the screws on the other hinge too. So, not a huge problem, just a heads up to maybe do some preventive screw tightening now and then!

I use these to see the small print on my TV because unfortunately my eyes suck and I'm waiting for an appointment

Before I ordered it, I specifically asked the seller if it would work for watching a widescreen TV from a distance of 20 ft. Their reply indicated that it would. After receiving and properly adjusting the glasses, which was fairly easy, I eagerly tried them out on a football game. I was able to read the text items fairly well, which was when I bought them for. Unfortunately, only the center half of the lenses were in focus. An entire ring around the image, amounting to half the viewing area, was distorted and blurry. Also, the field of view was so narrow that it only took in about 2/3 of my TV screen at a time. This was totally unacceptable. After filling out the return information at Amazon, I was told that it would cost me nearly $8 to have my return picked up after repackaging it. This is ridiculous. The problem was theirs in misrepresentation and faulty design, not mine. I should not have to pay. To avoid this, I am taking it to a UPS store, costing me a half hour, inconvenience, and gas. They should pay me.

The lens sliding mechanism does not go quite far enough for my narrow-spaced eyes, so there is a little bit of double-vision at the image edges. I've had this problem with other cheap binoculars. Most of the image is clear, however. The field of view of these glasses is too small for viewing a 40 inch TV from 9 feet away -- unless you continually want to move your head (which might be preferable if your prescription lenses are inadequate). If your TV is smaller than 40 inch or further away than 9 feet, it might work. A 16 inch monitor with 16:9 aspect ratio or a 19 inch TV with 4:3 aspect ratio would be about perfect at 9 feet. That would need little or no head movement to see the whole screen. Those are pretty small screens, but some laptop screens or portable TVs might work. The tiny speakers in those devices would not likely work well at 9 feet, however. I do like that the glasses have independent focus adjustment for each eye (I am nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other). The focus adjustment works well for me. I would not want to wear these over my eyes while walking or doing anything that requires a lot of motion -- it would be nauseating and possibly unsafe. They could work well for bird-watching or watching sports. The materials appear to be good quality, but I doubt they would survive a fall onto hard ground. I think I'm going to invest in a good pair of regular binoculars that I can try out at a store. The cheap route is not working well for me.

When I was about 15 years old, I saw a pair of these binocular glasses. I had no money to buy them. I’ve bought other glasses hoping they’d be right, but they never were very good and not what I wanted. FINALLY, at 80 years old, I FOUND EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! These binocular/glasses are GREAT! Everybody needs a pair! They’re perfect for lots of closer, clearer viewing, especially if your hands are occupied doing something else. Don’t wait like I did and waste money on something inferior. Buy your pair NOW!

These binocular glasses are a great idea, but did not work well because of poor optics. The greatest issue is that there is a very pronounced spherical aberration in these lenses. This means that the center of the image will focus, but the edges are distorted. This is mentioned in other reviews as well, so it is doubtful that it was unique to the one I received. Additionally, the eye relief is not good. Eye relief describes how far back you can hold your eye and get a good image with a full viewing angle. The placement of the lenses on the glasses frame caused them to sit further away from your eyes than a pair of binoculars would regularly be held. This may have added to the poor eye relief. I rated the comfort low because if it is awkward to view an image through, it will cause eye strain and discomfort. The frame seemed well made and sturdy, and was surprisingly well balanced. It did not seem excessively weighty for having the binoculars on it. It also did not feel like it would be prone to fall off. The eye cups were decent, but since they are on the eyepiece lenses which are too far away, they also sit too far from your eyes to be really effective. The case is a nice zippered semi hard case that everything fits into nicely. The biggest issue with these is that the whole point is to make a better image, and these do not make a better image.

My husband and I recently cancelled our cable service. My husband and I recently canceled our cable service. We bought a compatible TV to the new service. The same size as our old TV. I don’t know why but I could no longer read smaller written prompts etc and had to get up and go to the set to read smaller print. Got real tired of the Mr.Magoo routine. Husband said no problem, We needed a bigger TV (he is a man). I bought these binoculars instead. I only need them occasionally but they work perfectly. Pop them on take them off. They are very comfortable, a little heavy to wear all the time but who wears binoculars all the time anyway? I am very satisfied. Good for birding too I think they would also be great for concerts. They are very compact.

So far so goif! Good quality material. A bit on thr heaby sife. Vision field restrivted. Good for the money!

Really good quality. Clear lenses. I bought them mainly to watch tv as I have aged macular degeneration. They have made my viewing much better and I am happy that I purchased them

Handsfree verrekijker Pas niet over een bril

Ich habe nur noch Karten fürs Musical ganz hinten im Saal bekommen. Aber ich hatte ja ein Opernglas mit 3x Vergrösserung. Nur ist das Ding ziemlich schwer und man hält das nicht 2 Stunden in der Hand. Ausserdem ist das Sehfeld so klein, dass es ohnehin nicht benutzbar gewesen wäre. Also habe ich mir bei Amazon eine dieser Plastik-Brillen bestellt, die auch mit 3x angegeben waren. Fehlanzeige, gerade mal 1,5x haben die Dinger. Ging zurück. Letzter Versuch: Diese Brille hier. Als einziger Anbieter mit 3x (alle anderen gleichaussehenden hatten 10x, was fürs Theater viel zu viel ist). Ausserdem gab es schon eine kanadische Rezension mit Fotos, die eindeutig zeigen, dass wir es hier wirklich mit 3x zu tun haben. Die Lieferzeit (direkt aus China) wurde eingehalten (letzter Tag). Nach dem Auspacken war ich zunächst überrascht, wie wertig alles wirkt. Alles aus Metall, ein schönes weiches einstellbares Silionpad für die Nase. Metallbügel mit Kunststoffüberzug am Ende, genau wie ich es mag. Und sie passte auf Anhieb wie angegossen. Das Sehfeld ist erheblich grösser als bei meinem Opernglass, die Vergrösserung ist wirklich 3x. Und das Gewicht ist der nötigen Technik angemessen. Nicht zu schwer. Die Abbildungsqualität ist an den Rändern ziemlich dürftig, in der Mitte aber völlig ok. Das ist für die Anwendung und das Preisniveau absolut in Ordnung. Man will ja weder Doppelsterne damit trennen, noch Fotos machen. Daher volle Kaufempfehlung.

Pratico, bello chiaro
