Hi everyone, I've been around and used some binoculars before, but this is my first time purchasing one for myself. I did many much research over the past 4 months into which binocular model I should get, and I narrowed my decision onto the Minox 10x52 blhd model

From what I can see advertised
-It has a 65 FOV (same as some high end 8x42's)
-5mm exit pupil (matching pupil light gathering ability of a 8x42)
-18mm eye relief (matching or exceeding most eye reliefs of 8x42's)
-ED glass elements (Anomalous Partial Dispersion Lense?)
-Very sleek open bridge design that I like
The problem is that almost no reviews for this particular pair exists. Is this binocular a good choice? I'm aiming at the $500-600 range.
Another binocular set I also have my eyes on is the Athlon Midas 10x50, it has much of same specs, except for shorter eye relief.
