:When the zoom is increased the view gets really distorted and blurry… for general use it’s ok.

I am fairly pleased with these the only negative I can offer is the field of view at wide angle is smaller than I would like probably because it starts at 9x intstead of 7x. They are comfortable compact and easy to use. For the price paid they are a nice little compact general use binoc good for sports.

Well I just got these in mid May and they’re really compact. Great magnification for the size of binoc. One thing is a little off on the design- the eyepieces are a tad wide for my eyes. Never had that happen on a pair of binoculars before. Being a tour guide I need a good compact pair to find the wildlife for guests. Nope my eyes are neither small nor close together If you’re a guy I guess you’ll probably have no problem with them. Second thing is that the L. eyepiece started losing focus immediately. I started on 0 (neutral) and every couple of days I had to reset it to farther towards to make both eyes a clear focus. I’m now at the end of the so I’m sending them back to be fixed. You get what you pay for I suppose. Otherwise good product for the inexpensive price. I’ll be interested to see how the warranty takes care of this problem.

Well I just called Barska in CA and they said they would replace the defective pair for another $10. Plus I have to pay to ship the crummy product back to them. My $38 binocs just cost me $58. Don’t buy Barskas. I’d give it a 1 star but you can’t change your rating once you’ve starred it apparently.

Purchased these for a LSU football game with bad seating. They worked well for what we paid. We liked that they came with belt loop carry case so they were perfect for football or baseball game.
Small compact with good zoom power.

The Barska Gladiator 9-27×25 is a compact zoom binocular that is heavy on features but light on the budget. Its built-around rubber armoring feels tough and the lens clear. The zoom controls are easy to reach but the controls in my particular binocular is kinda hard to twist (probably needs a little break-in). I have a comparable size (but not magnification) Olympus Tracker 8-16×25 and the Barska is comparable in performance. Although Barska is not yet (but quickly catching up) a GIANT compared to the usual players in the optics field i.e. Canon Olympus Nikon Leica Steiner etc; it has a wide array of optics that is budget-friendly. The 9-27x magnification in this particular model/class is MORE than what you will find in another comparable brand name binoculars. As with any other zoom binoculars that doesnt have an IS (image stabilization) you will have shakiness at the higher or maximum magnification. The only thing I would ask Barska is to put a tripod mount on any of their multiple zoom binoculars (despite being compact). Having this ability reduces the shake. Overall it is a world-class binocular in a not-so-world class price!
