I use these binoculars mostly at the opera and theater. They work well in low light conditions.

I had these for several years and they are very nice for travel. Very clear images in good light and hardly noticable around the neck or in a coat pocket. Used them more than bigger and better (8x42 or IS) binocs. But alas I dropped them from waist height and the hinge broke. So now it's a tough decision just to replace or pick up something with a hardier construction. Will try heartier this time.

Greart optics at an affordable price. This product made a great gift, however was shipped and received just in time for Christmas. Although the item was listed as "in-stock", we received an email after purchase from the reseller indicating that the binoculars were on back order.

The product is as advertised and works satisfactorily. It is well made and easy to use. It is not quite as compact as I imagined. If something to slip into one's pocket is wanted, it seems that the next smaller Olympus model would be preferable.

I've been a die-hard Olympus fan ever since I received the Olympus OM-1 SLR for my 13th birthday. That was 32 years ago, and the camera still works like new. Hence my trust in Olympus. For around $50, I doubt you can match the quality of these general purpose binoculars. Took them for a test-run to the "Super Bowl Champion" Giants game last week. Seats were terrible, 5 rows from the top in the upper tier, but these glasses brought the action much closer. Nice belt pouch included. I highly recommend them.
