Since the intended use is terrestrial, the focal point they are fixed on
is rather close by astronomical standards. They could be "fixed out-of-focus"
for your use. Also, testing whether you can focus on a very distant subject
*during daytime* might not be a good test of whether you can do this with 
an enlarged eye pupil. 

I concur with the other response, which suggests that these type of binoculars
could be poorly made - they do seem to be at the low end of the price spectrum.
I've also never seen an optical instrument from Jason that has impressed me.
This paragraph is 100% opinion.

As a guess, I'd say that these are a very poor risk, unless you can return
them for a full refund.
