I must admit I have mixed feelings – the binoculars do have good glass and the image is clear, but they have their flaws as well. Focusing is difficult and the adjustment range is too short, so even the slightest movement changes the focus a lot :(. Additionally, the knob itself is quite stiff and you have to use a good amount of force to turn it (of course, this has its pros and cons – I'm trying to be objective). There's no dioptre adjustment, which, in my case, makes these binoculars completely unsuitable for everyday use :(. The eyecups can be extended a bit, but that's mostly to increase the eye relief, like in other binoculars with rubber eyepieces. If I were to invest this much money, it would probably be better to spend a little more and buy something even better.

For me, as an amateur, the binoculars work great. It's my first compact pair, so I have nothing to compare them to, but I'm pleasantly surprised. They're lightweight, but not excessively so, and have a solid build. The only downside is that they don't fold completely, so putting them in the case is a bit tight.

Before I decided to keep these binoculars in my kit, I did a few tests. For someone like me, an amateur, the equipment performs very well. The price matches the quality. Advantages: good contrast (also works well in poorer light), realistic colours, wide field of view, comfortable, small size and sturdy housing, adjustable distance between eyepieces and an interesting appearance. Disadvantages: slight play on the focus knob and the binoculars do not fold completely.

Great device.

Very comfortable to use, excellent quality, I definitely recommend it.
