Default Helios binoculars

Good day

A local supplier I found on the web sells Helios binoculars. I also
found a review of their 'Stellar' 15x70 Binocular on cloudynights.com

I am interested in their 25x100 binos. Anyone who have had experience
with this brand?

Regards

On reading the cloudynights review, I found these 2 informative paragraphs!

"The Helios 'Stellar' 15 x 70 is distributed in the UK by Optical Vision
Limited. The RRP is 169.99 pounds sterling, but most astronomical
outlets sell it for between 125 and 140 pounds.

In the USA it is called the Orion 'Little Giant' 15x70, is distributed
by the Orion Telescope and Binocular Centre and retails for US$259"

My question now is, are the Helios 25x100 also the same as the 25x100
Orions?
