I bought a pair of these, largely on a whim, because they seemed unusual and interesting.
I actually find them quite useful on nights of really poor transparency or when the moon is out. I am so used to 6+ mag skies that I uhhh get a bit disoriented when I can't even quickly pick out the Hercules keystone. But with these binoculars, you pick up at some two magnitudes or so - enough to quickly re-orient. I often position my scopes with a Green laser, and a quick view throuh these binoculars makes it possible to more accurately position the laser.
Anyway, as I mentioned about the Miyauchi 5x32's, these are very specialized binoculars - not a second or even third pair, but for us binoholics on this forum, definitely a fun addition.
