This is my first pair of binoculars (aside from a budget pair from Biedronka for 60 PLN), so my opinion won't be based on a comparison with others. It's very well made, quite heavy (apparently a good pair of binoculars should be), and the focus knob operates smoothly. The additional diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece turns with resistance, so it's hard to change it by accident. The eyecup has two settings for eye relief distance, which works nicely. In my opinion, the case is a bit too tight. When pulling out the binoculars, the lens covers come off automatically. As for the carrying method – harness – that's a matter of preference. I just can't see myself walking around the forest with binoculars on my chest, although in hunting or tactical situations, it might make sense. That's why I modified the carrying style a bit (to the thigh). Now, the most important thing: the image seen is sharp, colors aren't distorted – but only in the center of the lens. Towards the sides, the image blurs. Chromatic aberration appears, but apparently even roof prism binoculars costing several thousand have this issue. Looking at streetlights at night is fine. There isn't a 'star' effect or whatever it's called. Overall, I'm satisfied but feel a bit let down. I thought it would be perfect. I'd like to compare the view with another pair of binoculars that costs half as much, just to have a benchmark. And the most disappointing thing – Vortex USA made in China.
