Product ReviewsVortex Diamondback 10x42mm Binocular - Black

Quality and Value

I first learned of the Vortex brand when I selected a rifle scope for my .308. The 6-24 x 50 Vortex Viper PST has all the features of comparable scopes; however, those others are more than twice the price. As a result, I decided to take a chance on the scope and it is perfect and at an outstanding discount to competitor brands. This is my reasoning for choosing Vortex binoculars.
I originally looked at the Talon line; however, I read that these Diamondbacks feature 90% of the features of the top of the line binoculars at once again, twice the price. I am very pleased with the Diamondback binoculars. The image is very detailed and the size is perfect, "Not too big and not too small." To me the most outstanding feature is the ability to pick up light at dark. If you choose these binoculars you will not be disappointed and your wallet will be very happy.Read full review...

Great Binos!

Well first of all I own several Vortex products and I own a few Eagle Optic Ranger ED Binos, which are basically Vortex. Eagle Optic is parent company of Vortex. The Ranger ED are about as good as the Vortex Vipers.
Well these Diamondbacks have been made over, they are now lighter and appear to have even better Glass.
I was able to glass a hillside today during the last 10mins of light and at about 1200 yards. These Binos are excellent value at an excellent price!

I bought these for my son and man I'm am impressed. As I said, I own better more expensive quality and these are just a tad less than those. During the light you may not notice that much of a difference. Great quality and best of all the unconditional warranty is just awesome. Don't hesitate to buy these. If you don't like them, you can sell them in a heartbeat to anybody who knows of them.

Also this ebay seller is great. Super fast shipping!Read full review...

Vortex Binoculars

I would highly recommend owning a pair of these binoculars. The clarity is awsome and well constructed. I had seen them advertised on TV but never gave them a real thought until my friend let me look through his 10x42 diamond backs. There was no comparison to the ones we both used to use for hunting and site seeing, I just had to have them ....lol. I felt they were worth the money. I spent the afternoon glassing hill sides and had the honor of watching a few black bears foraging. What a great day .Read full review...

Best I've seen.

These are not your every day run of the mill glasses. I was very pleased with the quality of the lenses and the construction of the glasses.
They are so very awesome because they are very sharp to the outside edges of the lenses. The images are very clear at whatever distance I chose to view and they focus very smoothly.
I was pleased at how easily the eye cups could be repositioned to use with or without glasses. They are light and easy to use, though not as light as some of the cheaper made $20+ glasses that are constructed of thin plastics.
I don't believe that any other binocular regardless of the brand or price could be any better than these. Thanks Vortex for a great set of Binoculars at an affordable price.Read full review...

Bright Clear Optics

I use these binoculars for Whitetail hunting in Northern Wisconsin. I have spent twice as much on other well know companies and can't see any difference in features. Using these primarily for hunting can be tough on equipment. The Vortex warranty is my ace in the hole if something happens.Read full review...

Great features and study construction

It is about 24 ounces so not that light for a woman to carry all day for bird watching. It comes with a nice case and padded shoulder straps so it does not cut into your neck carrying the binoculars for awhile. Sharp focus and study construction. An extra added plus is lifetime guarantee.Read full review...

The best!

Have owned German 8x, Nicon 10x and several cheaper binoculars. These are by far the best. Very well made, not too large or heavy & let in plenty of light. Price also very reasonable. The Swaroski's maybe better, but I would not spend thousands for them. Looking forward to using them hunting in the fall.Read full review...

Vortex / the Latest Greatest in Binoculars.

I am very impressed with the clarity and the ruggedness of the optic. Very easy to dial in to fit my eyes and i have decided these are better than my leupolds. These will now take the place of my trusted leupold which I have owned for over 25 years. The warranty is second to none on these Vortex binos although judging by the way they are built I will never have to use it. It is a huge peace of mind knowing they have an unlimitted lifetime warranty for whoever is in possession of the product. I would highly recomend to anyone who takes their optics seriously.Read full review...
