Pros

People spend thousands of dollars of binoculars, and i’m sure there are some improvements, but i have 20/13 vision and these are fantastic. This is the first pair of bins i purchased after thorough research and tbh was a step down from a twice more ex... Read More

Only thing i don't like is the included case. It's structured similar to a backpack only designed to wear in front. But it keeps the covers safe from getting lost and they don't get in the way. They’re designed with that slit on the one side.

These were recommended by the audubon society as a good budget-friendly pair. I have bad arthritis in my neck/shoulders and the vortex diamondback hd's are lightweight enough that i can hold them for long periods of time. Quite the upgrade from my 20 ... Read More

X32 diamondback hd are perfect for birding in shrubbery and tree habitats. Being a novice with binoculars, i figured out pretty quickly that if you want to watch birds or backyard animals 8x is a much better way to go than 10x. The 8x42 were perfect f... Read More

The vortex has a dioptric adjustment on one lens. I adjust to the left eye then adjust just the right lens until it's perfect. They focus closer than my last pair, which is very useful for butterflies. I love that they allow me to focus within just a ... Read More

Cons

The 8x42 binos have too much eye relief. The bino binos are much easier to read.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Well made, good adjustability, good covers, easy to hold.

Optics are great and has excellent clarity.

The celestron is known to suffer from build quality issues.

Tested eye cups on the vortex, applying more pressure and they didn't budge.

Price

Seem like a good value for the price, excellent warranty.

Great value for the money, holds up well to much more expensive binoculars.

If you can get them for around $200 then know you found a good price.

If you want to spend on the budget binos (option 1 or 2).

Shipping

They shipped super fast and my entire experience with them was stress free.

They were delivered quickly and in perfect condition.

Vortex contacted me next day, sent a prepaid shipping label and in 2 weeks i had a brand new set of vortex diamondback 8x42 in ... Read More

We received ours within days of our email.

Packaging/appearance

My review is just 4 stars because the box was not sealed with plastic.

Came with a bino pouch and lens cloth, no harness (but honestly i have my own bino harness so whether it came with one or not d... Read More

Came with a bino harness and lens cloth.

Competitiveness

The vortex is longer/taller but is actually more lightweight and less bulky than the celestron due to its narrower barrels, mak... Read More

There were plenty of options available, and i chose the following binos for a comparison (black friday/cyber monday prices):1) ... Read More

First outing with bird club they suggested buying a better pair of binoculars, and named a few brands.

I was in the market to replace my $40 simmons venture 10x42mm binoculars.
