Hey, lets face it, you probably won't go broke buying these binoculars and for the price I think they work very well.  As others have mentioned, the lens caps have a tendency to drop right off but other than that they work pretty good.  When I initially received them one of the eyepieces was sticking slightly and wouldn't move in and out in sync with the other when focusing but it seems to have remedied itself.  I leave these sitting on an end table in the living room all the time and it allows me to get a close up view of an active eagles nest on the river.
