I ordered online (for the convenient return policy) after a long and frustrating search of binoculars forums. I wanted something almost unreal: a compact, travel-size binocular with high magnification (I like gadgets, I previously had a Russian 8x30), but at a reasonable price. The binocular arrived and I picked it up in the evening. Opinions suggested I wouldn't be satisfied, but it already pleasantly surprised me. Another test in the morning. I don't intend to return it! I'm very satisfied. A few observations: + the magnification is really high + I haven't tested it in complete darkness, but at dusk in the city it works well + very compact, although it does have some weight - it's a typically compact binocular – ideal for observing details, not wide panoramas. For someone who, for example, wants to see the whole battle reenactment, you'll see rather a fragment, but you'll notice details, like a mustache under a visor. - 12x magnification can be challenging to hold steady, although you can keep it stable. I watched a plane taking off and could easily keep it in view, but you need to grip it properly or use a support. Due to the focused observation, it can sometimes be hard to quickly locate an object in the sky. In summary: I'm very satisfied, forums needlessly scared people claiming it's a "Chinese product with a famous brand's logo" – it's really not bad. And one more thing: I'm just a beginner and don't have much experience xD

Bought for universal use, mainly for daytime observation. I am very satisfied, although I cannot compare it with other models. In my opinion, the image is clear, without distortions or inaccuracies. The binocular is very practical, has compact dimensions, and the price in relation to quality is very good.

The product matches the description, and the quality is appropriate for the price. The binocular is fairly light and convenient to carry with the included strap. The rubber eyepiece covers are attached to the strap, and the lens covers are attached to the binocular body, reducing the risk of losing them. The lenses perform well during daytime observations – they provide a sharp and clear image with no distortions. I do not recommend it for night viewing because the image is too dark.

Binoculars at this price are really good quality.
