What is the considered opinion on these binos? I recently checked up on reviews of these elsewhere and came across a web site called opticsoasis. Link below

Eyeskey Binoculars (8x42) Review: What a Mess over Here! - Optics Oasis

Eyeskey binoculars are popular, but the various models seem to come and go quickly. See what you might be able to find today in this article.

opticsoasis.com

which did a sort of forensic review of these binos.

It appears there are about 5 variants of this same model!! Amazon are offering them for £45 free delivery, except I don't use them on principle now. They are getting too powerful and don't treat their workers very well I understand.

Would be interested in your comments

Perhaps Opticsoasis has a business relationship with Eyeskey/Amazon for optic review purposes.

You can see the recent thread about Styrka going out of business for some discussion of the weird world of cheap Chinese binocular clone pop-up companies. I would not consider these at all unless you needed something decent for super cheap and you don't care if they break in 1-2 years and the company no longer exists to honor the warranty.

You can do a lot better, there are plenty of decent, cheap binoculars from good companies like Vortex, Celestron, etc

Interesting replies Thank-you. I replied to an ad on Facebook. They wanted £100 for an unused Eyeskey 8x40 HD. When I pointed out that Amazon are selling these for £45 they immediately reduced price to £40!!
