Customers are satisfied with the optical quality of the binoculars. They mention that the view is clear, the clarity is just undescribable, and the quality is fantastic. The Viper and Razor lines produce sharp images, with color saturation and sharpness. They are excellent for hunting and are light, sturdy, quick, and amazing at seeing through. The wide field of view is great, and eye relief is perfect.

We decided to purchase these and they are now our second pair of what I'll call "mid level" binoculars; our previous pair being a rather bulky set of decent Steiner 12X42 hunting binos that are not really optimized for birding. Interestingly the Viper HDs weigh similarly, but are far less bulky.
In any event, we've had these for a few months now and have used them locally, though we've not had the opportunity to put them through the rigorous jungle stomping, mountain climbing, dust/moisture/vibration heavy trials that the Steiners survived. However, with the use we've given them, it seems more than promising that they'll hold up comparably. The build quality seems top notch - they're solid, well designed, machined and constructed. Nothing is loose and everything feels like optics made in Japan SHOULD feel - like superb engineering. As I mentioned, this is only our second pair of "good" binos, but I didn't think it was technically possible for something seen through a pair of binoculars to actually appear brighter, sharper and more colourful than through the naked eye, but that's how it SEEMS every time we use these. Acquisition of targets is quick, smooth and flawless, with the central focus knob being smooth and precise. Tracking moving targets is a breeze compared to the individual focus adjustments required for each lens on the Steiners. When exposed to the humidity of the jungle we live in, the Vipers DID fog up externally, as do all of our top end optics in this climate - but the Viper HDs seemed to acclimate and un-fog more rapidly than the others. I'm certain they're sealed adequately against internal moisture (as they claim to be waterpoof) and the build quality supports this.
I'd list some cons here, but so far, I haven't found any of note. The price is slightly higher than others in its price range, but I firmly believe the quality difference is worth it.
In short, our research suggested that these are top-end binos in an upper-mid range price bracket, and though we haven't yet subjected them to the abuse they WILL get, I would concur with that assessment. My opinion is - if you're looking in the mid-range - it's worth paying a bit more for the Viper HDs and getting a big jump in quality. If you're looking in the low end of the top range - it seems you could save some money and get these (if you can survive without the cache of a "big name").
Hope this helps in your decision! Cheers!
This binoc's also has a rubberized body and comfortable grip, with thumb and finger grips (not grooves) making it relatively slip-free. I haven't tried out its claim as to being tough against drops, bumps, and bruises, or waterproof claims, and I hope not to. The zoom is smooth, and the eye relief cups are wonderful (i.e. I don't use eyeglasses). There's no parallax or blackout if properly adjusted.
Now, sadly, the down sides (if you consider these "down sides") to this particular model. The lens protection cups don't quite fit right, they kind of slide off the binoc's on their own, but that's minor. The neck strap really is amateurish looking, but that's easily replaced with a visit to an optics shop. But the most glaring deficiency (for me personally) is the case. It's terrible! It's like a zippered clamshell case that would be provided with a set of inexpensive eye or sunglasses. When you put the binoc's in it and zip them up, they clang and clank around inside this clamshell case, because it's not molded the the binoc's, the case is just way too big to even be comfortable in your hands. You have to have a small towel or something to take up the extra space inside, and kind of awkward. It has strap rings, but try imagine having this leviathan molded clamshell thing around your neck or attached to a pack, trying to deploy the binoc's out of it. No, better to just get a new case.
BUT being that the down sides are only accessories, I can totally live with it, since the binoc's themselves are pretty darn awesome! I bought these at $599 and change, and maybe a bit pricey, but astonishingly one of the best - if not THE best - I've tried in the sub-$1,000 range.
A couple of times we switched and I could see the difference - with less magnification! So, there is a reason why Swarovski's cost 3 - 4 times more, but these Vortex are excellent binoculars.
As a side note, the Vortex slightly malfunctioned on the trip and one of the eye pieces would not screw back in for storage. This did not impair their functionality and Vortex repaired them and returned the within a week.
So, for overall value the Vortex are excellent, but there are better binoculars available if money is not an object. I am happy with them and will not be replacing them.

Ein Stern Abzug: der Okularschutz ist etwas umständlich von den Okularen zu entfernen.
While they will not slip into a trouser pocket, they are relatively compact and surprisingly light. They are also beautifully finished and balanced. Their ergonomic design makes them feel good to hold and they seem like a natural extension to the hands. Small indentations have even been created on the underside to fit your thumbs, limiting shake and adding comfort to extended use. The binoculars have a rubberised outer coating which offers protection against knocks, gives a very secure grip and extends their life expectancy. The optics are excellent. Tweaking is easy. Once you have set them as advised, the HD (hard density) glass provides razor sharp, high definition images, even in poor light. The main focus wheel functions perfectly to adjusts with ease to view your selected object. The glasses are argon gas filled to prevent them fogging up in humid conditions. They are also waterproof. Being waterproof, the seals also work to keep dust and grit out of the internal workings.
I am equally impressed with the high quality of the accessories which accompany the binoculars. They come with a well designed, padded, shaped and extremely comfortable neck strap, rain guards which can be attached to the neck strap, and lens covers for additional protection. If you wish, you can easily attach the binoculars to a tripod, but I prefer using them hand held. The final accessory is the well designed soft case. This is both ideal for transport and safe storage. It has a neat internal zipped net storage pocket for the likes of cleaning cloths.
Along with an unlimited first class warranty against damage or defect, the Vortex 10x42 HD binoculars are extremely versatile, a great buy, and excellent value for money. They are worthy of serious consideration. With very little compromise on your part, they might even meet your every need!
