This is a cheap product, so not much can be expected. Optics are poor, and even in tropical sunlight (I am using them in Cartagena, Colombia) images are dull with little resolution.
The zoom function does not permit a smooth transition when it is being adjusted.
My recommendation to prospective buyers is to spend more for better quality zoom binoculars, or to stick with fixed 7 X 50 or 10 X 50 models and invest in better optics.
More care needs to be taken with the packing - my binoculars arrived with one of the object lens tubes bent out of its mounting on the prism case. Fortunately the threads were only slightly deformed and I was able to re-assemble the binicoulars satisfactorily.

The binoculars have a clear image. Definitely worth buying, although there are a few things to consider:

- The zip focus feature means that a small focus adjustment goes a long way. Without a steady hand, getting focused perfectly at 30x zoom is difficult
- The field of view is fairly narrow at 10x zoom

Very good purchase. Went on vacation to Alaska and the binoculars were just the ticket for spotting wildlife.

Dont expect bosche quality for the price but still nice optics for an affordable set of bi's. will just tell you if your looking for compact concert binos you will not regret this investment. Read up with the manufacturer to confirm specs meet your requirements first to buy with confidence. and will be purchasing another set of binos for my dad's b.day next week. Happy with my purchase! Days before concert and purchased for only a few bucks with free shipping (direct from Amazon, order over a certain am amount, needed ASAP so invested in O/N. Arrived beautifully, promptly and extraordinary performance at the concert. Easy to use and even includes instructions to guide you in case you are a first time user like me. Could not ask for better quality in build or image! Exactly what I was looking for and for an even better price than expected! Compact, slim, lightweight, resistant, weatherproof... I could go on and on about its quality for the money but I think you get it.

Works good at 10X,but the more zoom you use the harder it is to focus.At 30X almost impossible to focus.

The Binocular was sent on time and intact ,but a ocular has a lilte deviation than I believe be a litle mistake's factory. I fix the mistake, but its no easy to a people make, because it was a internal prism adjust.
