The above said, I didn't save THAT much vs this price, these new ones from Amazon likely have a better warranty, AND some of the other guys that got in on the refurb SD deal said their binoculars arrived with "stick stuff" on their binoculars. Also, just note with 10 power binoculars you get very good power and can see details from very far away, but the small/compact x25 lens size is limiting as far as light gathering ability.

Here's a review I found that seemed to sum up my thoughts on those generic binoculars:
3.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, Not Impressed
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2021
Verified Purchase
Granted, these are inexpensive binoculars. But the reviews and the specs prompted me to give them a try. It's important to note that my intention was to keep these in the garage to check out the birds and wildlife around the house, so I didn't have lofty standards. Unfortunately, even at the low price point these seemed cheap. The focus adjustment was not smooth, and the eyepiece hardware was flimsy. Minimum focus distance was not great either. On the plus side, the lenses let in a lot of light and the image was reasonably clear. But the bottom line is they're just not that great of a buy. Even less so when the day after I bought them, they were listed with a 20% discount. Timing is everything. These went back the same day.
UPDATE 6/30/21: It is worth pointing out that since this review was posted I've received two emails from this seller offering me a $30 gift card to change my review to five stars.

Please note this seems to be a sale initiated by Nikon. A few other places have this at the same price. So shop around if you have other preferred stores.
