i have a small olympus 10x21 binoculars which i like but i wanted higher magnification binocs for a concert im going to so i bought these i compared them sidebyside from the same spot looking at the same object and the object is significantly smaller in these i measured the objective lenses and if the numbers on the olympus binoculars are correct this pair is 8x21 at best not 12x25however the view was clear the binoculars are easy to use and they feel sturdy and i would have been happy with them if i hadnt another set to compare with i also really like that the eyecups screw up rather than fold down since i wear glasses having to fold down the eyecups on the olympus every time is irritating and that the lens covers are 1 all one piece and 2 attachable to the neckstrap so that theyre easy to manage and you wont lose themso tradeoffs i havent decided yet which of these im going to take to my concert probably the olympus because its also considerably smaller than these the magnification on these binoculars isnt the best but they otherwise work well and have some convenient features that my old ones dont if youre not worried about the actual magnification of your binoculars i dont think you could go wrong with these at this price point
