This is the second version, of the Eye-Clops Infarad Stealth Binoculars, and it goes under review.
 The product dies exactly what it prommises, which is allowing one to see in the dark, up to 50 feet with no light sources, other than the included ones on the toy itself. There's a low-power mode, which lets you see about half that distance, using 2 small rings of low-powered infarad LED's. The bright ring around the lens lets you see up to 50 feet, but that ring IS visible to the naked eye.
You have the option to view it in "Green" Mode, similar to military Light Amplification Goggles, or "Color" mode, which infared-lit areas appear black and white, while decently lit areas appear in full, rich color. Color accuracy is spot-on, but at this point, using these goggles is fairly useless, as the idea is to see in the dark. Field of view isn't what it's cracked up to be, though, although there's a plus to that downfall. It claims to be a 2x magnified image, but if you look through the toy with one eye, and directly at an object with the other, it's actually a 1-to-1 ratio, meaning the image on-screen is shown as big as your eye actually sees it, so walking around with these is easier, being where things appear to be, actually are as they appear. This is highly not recomended, being the field of view is very narrow.
 The improvement over the original design is that you can use BOTH eyes, versus the display being in the left eye only, on the original set. Problem is, it still uses only ONE LCD display, making this a MONOCULAR in reality (besides having only one camera to start with). While you can adjust the viewing hole's width to view it, you may have to cross your eyes to lock onto the single display, which may get uncomfortable over longer periods of time. The display itself has linearity issues, as weaker colors along the top go negative, as if you are looking at a LCD monitor at a sharp angle. Things appear fine under brighter conditions (ambient, or infared).
  Again, Jaks Pacific has done it again, with another HIGHLY-RECOMENDED toy, in which even adults will have fun using, whether it's for play, emergency use, or other reasons.
