I'd say they are better than a Meopro and almost a Meostar but not quite on par with the Meostar

I agree on what you said catfishkev compared to the meopta, I did order them. So I'll let you all know how they perform as soon I get them.  Hopefully they are decent Glass.

Yes please do. I’m looking for a backup pair and would like something in this price range/quality.

Update on the Kowas, I am returning them. They are terrible. I put them side by side by some Vortex viper hds 12x50s and the vortex are way better and clearer. The Kowas are only clear in the middle about (guessing) 60% and the rest is very blurry on the outside. I would not recommend them. I was disappointed. So I'm still shopping for some 12s under $1000. Hope this helps.

Thx for the review.  You may want to consider the Vortex 12x50's.

Wow that bad!? That’s something you would expect out of a $200 pair of Binos not this price range

There’s a pair of razors on here for $750. Get those and you won’t be disappointed like you were with these
