looks like price and specs for a godd beginner binocular. Better than Vortex Diamondback?

Good specs for the price.

When did they come out with these?

I have no experience with them, and agree with Bob. The specs are quite interesting, particularly FOV, close focus and price ($199). If you buy some, let's hear how they work out.
