For the price these are hard to beat. I bought a pair of Meade binoculars also and while they were pretty good the two optical paths were not collimated at all; which means it was almost impossible to "merge" the two images because the two optical arrays weren't parallel to each other and therefore weren't pointing in exactly the same direction. They're OK for casual terrestrial viewing or as toys for kids but otherwise worthless. These Celestron models, only slightly more expensive, are not only a fantastic value they are among the best low-end hand-held binoculars available, you'd have to pay a hundred dollars more for a significant increase in quality. This isn't a knock on Meade in general, they make great scopes, but the low-end binoculars I've bought from them have some quality-control issues and aren't in any special way better than these Celestron binoculars.
These binoculars are easily adjusted for people with different pupillary distance (spacing between the eyes) by just squeezing the scopes together or pulling them apart around the central hinge. Focus is done with a center adjuster and is smooth in both directions. There is a diopter adjustment on one eyepiece (allowing the user to fine-tune the focus should their eyes require different correction). The eyepieces have foldable eyecups so they're easy to use with or without eyeglasses – note that unless you have significant astigmatism it is better to use a telescope or binoculars without your glasses.
I went to an event our local astronomy club gave for a scout group and set up my 15x70 on its tripod, and hung these around my neck. A little more background: we are in Florida, and the event happened in mid-June, and it had stormed all afternoon and was still dripping when we arrived at the site. The skies partially cleared as we waited, but the humidity could have filled up a filter jug. About 1/4 of the way into our various demonstrations, my large binoculars got fogged up on their tripod. The sides of the big binos - which are not coated with rubber - were literally dripping with dew by the end of the demonstration. The lenses fogged up completely, rendered useless by Florida's humidity. I could see more with my naked eye. So much for my brand-new pair of 15x70 giant binocs.
It was a much happier story for our little troopers here. They have rubber on almost all of the exposed parts, and I don't know if that was the reason, but never ONCE did I notice fogging on the lenses, nor any dew on the binos. Thus it was that I was able to impress the scouts with how a light, inexpensive pair of binoculars can help open up the sky. I've heard stories of collimation problems, but I'm happy to say my pair was aligned perfectly and performed wonderfully, and one excited scout is almost certain to get a pair of them for Christmas this year as a result of the event...
Of course, these would in theory be outstripped in functionality by much more expensive and/or larger binoculars. They don't image-stabilize, they aren't waterproof, and they are probably more subject to quality-control issues than if you bought something for $300 or more. But... price. You could buy TEN of these for the price of the really good binocs, and have spares for parties.
They won't open up the sky like the larger binoculars or a telescope, but... they still bring out details the naked eye cannot see, and are the first thing I'd grab if I only had limited stargazing availability because they are zero-to-viewing in just a few seconds. And apparently they are somewhat resistant to the effects of extreme humidity, which is a massive plus here in the semi-tropics. Also, as a bonus, their smaller size makes them useful for daytime viewing as well (nature hikes, concerts, etc), something that I cannot say about the heavy, bulky 15x70s. These will start accompanying me on my park walks, and I've already used them to observe deer in my yard.
I therefore highly recommend these not only as starter binocs for newbies to the night sky world, but as a permanent supplement for those who have a larger telescope. And they'd be great for daytime users as well. Their portability, usable quality, ease-of-use, and humidity resistance really makes them stand out when you consider how little they cost. And as I found out last night, they are just light enough that many children can manage them for several minutes at a time (though if the kid is small enough you might want to invest in a light-weight tripod - something that costs less than $30 should be fine for this particular pair). Yes, the really expensive brands are no doubt better, but at less than $30USD per pair, it's easy to justify starting out with these or just adding a pair to one's scope collection.

Reviewed in Mexico on July 22, 2023
They are ideal for my needs, aim, focus and view. What I thought were hazy areas in the sky or my poor eyesight playing tricks on me, are actually clusters of stars made visible with these binoculars. I am able to see so much more detail of the moon, and so many more stars in the sky. They are lightweight and easy to hold. I also used them for watching some roe deer outside my house and the clarity was fantastic. Looking forward to using them much more as the weather improves.
Very pleased, glad I chose these instead of a telescope.
