Last time Lidl had them, quite a number of WABBER's bought them, (myself included), and everyone said they were great value for the money - they have a very bright field of view. (They were £12.50 at the time). However, if you buy them directly from Bresser, their price RRP is £50.00 
The only problem noted was that some pairs focussed closer than others. Mine won't focus nearer than about 15m, while others have said that theirs focus down to 10 metres.
I would definitely suggest trying a pair.
I don't know what the 10 x 25's are like, but for £6.00 they must be good for casual use or just leaving in the car etc.
Regards
Mike.

Netto are advertising 10x50 binoculars in their specials for Thursday 9th April, which, if the photo is accurate, are the very same Bressers which Lidl have recently been supplying.
The good news is that Netto's price is £9.99 where as Lidl's is £14.99.
If these bins at Netto are Bressers, they must be the bargain ofthe year at that price. (Considering Bressers RRP price for the same binoculars is £50.00).
Regards
Mike.

We purchased a pair of bresser 10x50 from lidls and they are superb. Crystal clear image, you can just sit on the promenade and stare at the waders all day 
At a low cost aswell, so they are well worth trying out
But i would say that we couldnt see the moon that big (last night), I could get in closer with my camera. But we could see some levels of detail but i suspose they are binocs and not telescopes
hope i helped
