I saw a previous review that described this pair of binoculars as having the 'look and feel of a children's toy.' -with 'subpar performance.' Well, I can't speak to the experiences of another owner, but I can say without hesitation that these binoculars have a substantial weight and feel, and perform every bit as well as my Nikon Aculon 10x25s, which are of similar size and configuration, and cost five times as much.
Additionally, I am well-experienced with optics, having owned dozens of binos and telescopes in different price ranges over 4 decades. The color acuity and image sharpness of these binos is well within what I would expect given the design and build limitations (most significant of which is the small aperture that is inherent in all compact binos). I was unable to discern any chromatic aberration in comparison to the aforementioned Nikons, which were of a much higher price class. Simply put, these are an exceptional bargain in my view. I will add though that the case is lacking, and claims on the box that these are 'night vision' binos hold no merit as the aperture is too small and the build and optical qualities do not lend credit to being able to use in hours of darkness with any significant observable vision enhancement. However, for the price you are paying, I believe these are an excellent pair of binoculars, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
