 Barska X-Trail 15x70 Binoculars March 21, 2007

I was pleased with the performance, the field of vision, and the light weight. Carrying case leaves a lot to be desired, as does the shoulder strap.
 Great for headaches and frustration. May 3, 2006

I ordered these binoculars to learn more about the sky. Sure these binoculars are big and impressive looking but that is about the extent of their worth. I ordered the first pair and they provided me with the biggest non-alcohol induced headache I've ever experienced. The images were miles off and when my brain tried to merge them I felt like I just rode space mountain 7 times. I boxed them up and due to Amazon's convenient return policy, I sent them back for a refund.
The next day, against better judgement, I thought that maybe I just had gotten a bad pair and again decided to order this same model. Out of the box, I didn't even have to look through them to see a defect as the part of the plastic body surrounding the eyepiece was cracked. I still gave it the benefit of the doubt and waited until the stars came out only to learn that Jupiter apparently has a twin as does its moons. I had my wife verify this as I thought I was crazy. These were boxed up and sent back for a refund with no intention to order again.
I think part of the reason for the horrible shape of this model is Barska's packaging. The binoculars are in plastic in a soft case in plastic then placed in a flimsy cereal box - no joke! The aluminum tripod is wrapped in bubble wrap and is jammed between the already too tight box and the binoculars. Then the over-stuffed box has plastic on the outside of it. Basically it is 3 plastic bags and a cereal box that house the fragile optics and this makes no sense to me. I wrap my garbage up better than this. Don't risk the frustration - the bargain price just isn't worth it.
 good optics & solid construction, but... April 15, 2006

The thread pitch on the focuser is to high so even very light pressure on the eye pieces causes them to rack back in; thus if you let your eyes or glasses touch the eyepieces you need to hold onto the focusing knob. Other than this the closest I could get them to focus was about 3X the specified close fucos distance. Otherwise very little color fringing and good sharpness all the way to the edge of field. Eye relief is nice I can get almost the whole FOV while wearing glasses. and when locked the tabletop tripod is acually quite solid
VERY disappointing to see such an easily corrected mistake in the focuser of a nice pair of binoculars with incredible "bang for the buck"
