Purchase AUG 2024…. Upgraded from older pair 10x50to 12x50. I live on puget sound. and have a view of the water. These new ones work great, Brighter and very Clear.. Easy to adjust from one person to another.

A+++ seller fast delivery. I did a research before purchase and was not disappointed. This is a good quality binocular. I was close to purchase the upgrade from same brand but I'm happy with this one.

This binoculars have a great zoom and quality image, I'm glad to go with them when I'm hiking in the mountains, I really recommend it!

Great binoculars. First good pair I've owned, but I dont see how they could be better for viewing at the distance they do, which is about as far as I'd want without having a tripod or something. Materials seem good quality. Image is crystal. The case and sling and protectors are good.I do caution those with close-set eyes, though. Mine are nearly that, having about the exact width of one of my eyes between the two, and I just barely get the image right when the biboculars are pushed together as far as they go. If my eyes were aby closer together, they probably woyldnt ve the roggt set for me. So caution if you have close-set eyes.All thibgs considered they seem top value for the price.

They’re good quality for the price, but a little large

Very. Good bionic

These have been excellent for birding! I had an issue with the first pair and returned it, and received a new replacement pair. I am able to see birds really clear for identification. It was a good investment and much better than the other binoculars I've bought in the past that were cheaper. I like this brand, and have one of their scopes too.

I agonized over what binoculars to buy (not having any "frame of reference" to draw on). Eventually I decided that I'd rather have "more" magnification over "less", that a brighter view was going to be more pleasing than the dimmer view that smaller objective lenses offer, and that adjustable eye relief was important for people who wear glasses (like me). I was also surprised to learn that non-weatherproof binoculars can fog up just due to temperature changes - we don't want that happening.After having an online chat with an expert, Vortex brand was recommended for my price point. It ticked all the boxes in addition to having the newer/better prism technology.They arrived this morning and I'm VERY happy with them. I'm sure that binoculars costing several thousands of dollars would technically be better, but to me (and I say this both as a photographer and retoucher who makes a living out of getting images as clear and sharp as possible), I really can't imagine optics being any better - they're just superb; and this comes from a guy who hates images not being clear and sharp.I chose the 12x 50mm model - my only criticism is that this amount of magnification can be just a little challenging for my old hands to stabilise; it's not a big issue - and I'd definitely buy this magnification again - but just a "heads up" if you're thiking of getting a 12x and your hands are a bit shaky.Unit shipped with nice soft case - straps to mount it to one's chest (if you're "into" that - I'm not), strap for the binoculars themselves, lens cleaning cloth, & lens caps (tethered for the objective lenses, attachable to the neck strap for the eyepiece lenses).In summary - if you're uncertain about what to buy because you're concerned about quality but don't want to break the bank - don't hesitate to pick up one of the Vortex Crossfire range; they appear to be incredible value at their price point. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat (but probably won't have to due to their unconditional warranty).Apologies if this reads like an advertisement, but in a world full of over-promise and under-deliver, it's refreshing when something actually lives up to the hype and is great value for money.
