" ... Admittedly I have no other binoculars with which to compare these, but I say they're a steal at 35 bucks. ... "

" ... I can't afford a telescope at the moment, but I am very happy with these binoculars. ... "
" ... I have a pair of the same size binoculars from Sharper Image, and the difference is simply astounding. ... "
" ... These binoculars are great for hand held night sky viewing, the 50mm objective lenses allow plenty of light to be collected and combined with the 7X provide a wide field of view. ... "
" ... We just had a super moon and seeing it through these binoculars was absolutely breathtaking. ... "
" ... The sharpness, both center and edge-to-edge, is excellent and rival my Nikon 7x50 (at 5 times the cost). ... The Nikon has a bit more contrast and is a little brighter but side-by-side there's very little difference in non-critical use. ... These binocs also have the same (or similar) blue-green lens coating for improved performance. ... "
" ... A great pair of binoculars for amature astronomy and terrestrial viewing. ... The 50mm pulls in enough light to see the Andromeda galaxy even in city light pollution. ... "
" ... Really,really,really good beginner binoculars. ... "
" ... Easy to use binoculars that come with a guide on how to adjust the focus just right. ... "
