Bushnell Falcon 10x50 Wide-Angle Binoculars (Porro Prism)

Reviews

1. E Eng 3/5

   Frustration with no printed manual

   The binoculars arrived well packed but in a soft case. The company directs you online for the manual, which is a problem for those without home internet. I’m still learning to focus them with my glasses, so I rated three stars until I can get them working reliably.

2. M M. Stonecipher 5/5

   Handy all-round optics

   Solid, straightforward binoculars that do the job for general outdoor use.

3. C Christy Lockett 5/5

   Good value for travel and wildlife viewing

   We used these in Yellowstone and on an Alaskan whale-watching trip with good results. Clear optics and easy handling made wildlife spotting enjoyable. I’m buying extra sets as gifts for family.

   Could not achieve focus

   I found it impossible to get these to focus properly.

   Good product at modest cost

   Excellent unit for everyday use with reasonable expense.

6. L Linda S. 5/5

   Trusted brand, familiar performance

   We’ve owned a similar Bushnell pair for decades and they’ve held up well. I bought these for my husband when we moved and he was delighted. The Falcon’s InstaFocus system and magnification matched what we were used to, and the build feels familiar and reliable. He now uses them regularly for birding at our new property.

7. G Geraldo Jorge Junior 5/5

   Strong optical performance; caps need improvement

   Lenses perform very well for their size, delivering bright images. The only drawback is the lens caps — they don’t stay on securely and can fall off easily.

8. C C. Coburn 5/5

   Responsive customer support and comfortable fit

   My first shipment arrived damaged, but customer support arranged a fast replacement. The binoculars are comfortable, not overly heavy, and the eyecup design works with or without glasses. They came with a carry case that’s handy for travel and hunting trips. Overall very satisfied.

9. D Dad of 3 5/5

   Clear, dependable for regattas and events

   Bought these for a youth sailing regatta and they exceeded my expectations. Clarity across the lake was excellent and the focus was smooth, making it easy to track boats from a distance. Good affordable option for outdoor events.

10. M MLO 5/5

    Solid starter pair with simple focusing

    I replaced an older worn set and wanted something affordable for occasional use. The central lever focus is easy to operate and made it quick to synchronize my differing eyes. I was pleased with the sharp views. It comes with a soft pouch rather than a hard case, so I’ll handle it a bit more carefully when transporting.

11. J Jose 3/5

    Acceptable for the money, familiar focus system

    I didn’t expect miracles at this cost, and these delivered sensible performance. Compared to another popular budget brand, I didn’t see a clear advantage, though the lever focus is convenient.

12. N Nelson 4/5

    Great optics for astronomy and nature

    I wanted 50mm objectives for stargazing and these delivered good low-light performance. The binoculars feel sturdy and the image quality is clear. The packaging is light, but a neck strap and carrying case are included. It took me a short while to get used to the InstaFocus lever, but once familiar the adjustments are smooth.
