    These binoculars work as advertised. They are better suited to terrestrial views rather than astronomy, mainly due to the narrow field-of-view. The FOV starts out narrow and shrinks dramatically with zoom. This makes astronomical viewing far less aesthetic than with my "monster" fixed binoculars.

    At higher zoom, the eyepiece separation must be carefully set. They stay mostly in focus as you zoom in and out, which is an important convenience. Some may find these things hard to use to best advantage due to the narrow FOV. However, you can see amazing detail with them: I could see sheet metal screw heads on a new stove pipe installation at my neighbor's 1/4 mile away. When I checked out recent slope slippage mud flow from recent rains at a neighbor's across the valley, the detail didn't get any better by taking a 10 minute walk over there.

    One way or another I frequently use these things, and they're fun within their limitations. Some persons may find them hard to use to full advantage due to the narrow FOV, and the weight could also be an issue. You can see Saturn and nice detail on the Moon, but the experience is more enjoyable with a wider FOV.

    Sadly these zoom binoculars are unusable at 125x magnification, with a small field of view and the image not focusing, they could only be used at the lower setting of 25x. While the binoculars only get 2 stars, I give binoculars.com top marks for service and support.

    I returned the binoculars without any problems. My advise, stick to a fixed magnification binocular. Thanks binoculars.com

    Comments about Barska 25-125x80mm Gladiator Zoom Binoculars:

    Living on a mountaintop, I can view for almost 100 miles in all directions with this model now! Until now I used a lower power pair of zoom binocs plus a terresterial telescope so I was familiar with pro's and con's of each technology. I researched this next step purchase with care and decided on this Barska combination for optimum flexibility and viewing quality. One must understand to readjust focus as the zoom range is changed but that's normal with this type of instrument. A multi-plane adjustible tripod like that for a telescope is a must due to lens focal length and weight! One added benefit has been that it performs well from inside, "through a window"! So I have no purchase regrets as this 25-125 Zoom model performs Great.

      • Great looking
      • Great price
      • Quality Lenses
      • Strong Construction
      • Tough and Sturdy

      Cons

      • No hard case

      Best Uses

      • Bird Watching
      • Sporting Events/Concerts
      • Yachting

      Comments about Barska 25-125x80mm Gladiator Zoom Binoculars:

      These are great binoculars for the price. This is my second set, I went bigger to get more detail in astronomical observing. The view does get small when you zoom out fully, but get a good tri-pod and you'll be observing some amazing things. You will also need to get some thick black tape and tape around the inside of the eyepiece cover. It fits a little loose, but some tape fixes that right up. I love these binoculars and I didn't have to spend $300 or more to get them. They are actually better than some small refractors I've owned. I wish they came with a hard case, but you can get one of those as well to fully protect them later. Great piece of equipment with a lifetime warranty.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Pros

      • Quality Lenses
      • Strong Construction

      Cons

      • Poor viewing at full zoom

      Best Uses

      • long distance viewing

      Comments about Barska 25-125x80mm Gladiator Zoom Binoculars:

      When I bought these binoculars I used them for an hour or so and then put them aside dissappointed with the zooming feature.That was partly due to my being a very impatient person.
      I subsequently tried them out again for a while and was surprised at how amazing they really are.
      This is a very powerful instrument which shows images sharp and crisp as promised in the ad.
      My country of residence is an archipelago and from my house on a mountain I can clearly see houses and cars on a clear night on the closer sister islands.
      I am also able to clearly see activities at night on the brightly lit cruise ships which dock about 1/4 mile away below my house.
      I still have some problems with the zooming but I mostly stay within 25-35 magnification and thats fine.
      One should certainly use a good tripod with these binoculars for steady viewing.
      I would certainly recommend these bins to a friend.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
