I have had the 10 x 42 diamondbacks for about three months now . So far they are great .They are light weight and compact Very clear . On the last day of gun season with 5 minutes to go a deer came by about 75 yards away put the glasses up and picked out the horns no problem . The following week saw some deer over 40 acres away again I could pick out horns . I know when I start replacing my old optics it will be with a Vortex

My family never spent over $75.00 on binos until we came across these bad boys. Got my brother on board, father in law and my cousin, night and day difference from what we used to use.

I compared these with my buddy's Leupold BX3 HD 10x42 and these were better. They brought in more light and had a clearer overall picture in low light conditions. The Leupold binos are $500-600 price range. The Diamondback are much less cost but in the end MUCH BETTER! Vortex is the only way to go!

I can't remember how many years ago that I bought my Diamondback binoculars. Recently the right eye cup came off and the adjustment was a little loose. They were well used and had scratched up lenses. I sent them in to have a them fixed. Vortex replaced my binoculars at no charge. It cost me $11 to ship my old beat up binoculars to them. Thank you Vortex for the Wonderful service.

I purchased the 10x42 Diamonback binoculars to use on safari in Tanzania. They performed flawlessly during rainstorms, dust storms, high temperatures, and low light conditions. Perfect size and weight to carry and stow in a backpack. I highly recommend these binoculars - great value for high quality.

I've been utilizing binoculars for many years, primarily for bird watching. I have owned many sizes and manufacturer's models. When looking for my newest pair I reviewed some ratings on line and found these to be consistently ranked in the top 10. They have exceeded my expectations! And I was most pleasantly surprised to find that they also carry a life-time warranty. I have used them a few times already and love the optics as well as the comfortable balance of these.

I bought the 10x42s about 2.5 years ago and have used them almost daily since. They perform great for the price point. Along the way, I managed to lose the objective lens covers and one of the eyecup covers. I just contacted Vortex last week to see about purchasing these replacement parts, and was surprised to learn that they were covered under the VIP warranty. Less than a week after my initial email, I received the parts in the mail. Outstanding service.

As usual, Vortex has managed to make an awesome product for a reasonable price. These binos are great for the hunter who is a weekend guy to the hunter who depends on his gear to work every day while out in the middle of nowhere. Great product and I highly recommend them. I also recommend getting the Vortex tripod adapter and mount it to the quick release platform so you can alternate between your binos and spotting scope.

This is my second vortex item and They didn’t disappoint. Warranty makes these even better. I personally haven’t needed to use it but my brother has and told me customer service is a 10! Optics are clear and focus easy. Well balanced and comfortable. Can’t go wrong at this price point!

I bought mine a little over a year ago and absolutely love them. I had always hated using binoculars until i found these. They are extremely clear viewing and comfortable to use. Would recommend them to anyone that asks.

I bought these a little over a year ago and they go everywhere with me in the truck now. I always carried cheaper binoculars, this was my first venture into quality optics and I'm never looking back again. I can see stuff earlier and later than before in low light that I never could see before. I bought a second pair for my girlfriend for her to bird watch with and she loves them too. I never spent much time glassing with my old cheaper binoculars because my eyes would get tired and I was constantly adjusting the focus where as now half my time in my stand I'm slowly glassing the woods. The warranty also gives me the peace of mind to carry them with me wherever without having to worry about messing them up so that's great too. This picture was taken with my cell phone just held up to my diamondbacks earlier this month here in Ohio.

I just picked up a pair of these a few weeks ago, and have been blown away by the clarity. I had been using a cheaper off brand the last couple of years thinking that the other more expensive brands couldn't be that much better. Boy was I wrong. Don't waste your time or cash on the "others". These are the best bang for your buck for sure.

I bought these binoculars as a Christmas present and am I glad I did. Got them for a good deal on sale. Was sick of using cheap blurry binoculars but did not want to have to break the bank. The diamondbacks are amazing crystal clear image and do not fog up.

These are great optics. Ill be honest i only have a few other to compare it too but i am endlessly impressed with these. I was going to go with the crossfires but when i saw that these were just a touch more and I really believe they are better it was a no brainer to pick up a pair. My wife has a competitors 10x42 that retail for around the same price and they are noticeably heavier and for whatever reason I can never quite get them to feel as clear as my Diamondbacks. So yet another win for Vortex. Thanks for the great binos gang.

Best binos I’ve ever owned, yes they are a more entry level vortex pair.....Nothing entry level about these. I’ve owned many different brands and these diamondbacks blow them out of the water.

I'm new to big game hunting and initial investments in gear add up fast so the quality offered for the price is second to none. the field of view is fantastic and being able to pick up critters even in failing light is excellent. Size and weight of these binos are great for long treks into the woods. I would recommend these to anyone.

I bought these for my hunt in southern Colorado. They worked perfectly for glassing. Small, lightweight and didn’t sacrifice glass quality or durability. Only problem I had is that these come with slip on lens covers and while in the mountains trekking around one of them came off somewhere and I started getting snow on the lens. not the end of the world but just a pain wiping off the lens every time I wanted to use them. I have the shoulder harness that I used to carry them for quick access.

Can't beat the quality top to bottom for similar money. When I bought these I was comparing them to others that were twice the price from competitors, Leopold and nikon. Once I had them next to each other the choice was an easy one.

I have an older version of the Diamondback 10x42 and the new version. Love them both. For the price, the quality is amazing!

Bought this Bino last fall for an upcoming Western US elk hunt in 2018. So glad I did because this clear glass was a great asset for my Western PA archery hunts. Amazing whwnnypu have proper glass what you can pick out of the thickets. Allowed me to see multiple bucks I otherwise would never have been able to with my old binoculars. Couldn't be happier with this product.

My wife bought me the 10x42’s for Christmas this past year and they are amazing. I Have them I. A harness and use them for those quick looks. They are very light weight and have a crystal clear view. All the glass I have in my hunting pack is vortex. Even my wife has a pair.

I have had these bumps for several years. They have been put through the ringer and they still work great minus a few cosmetic dings.

I bought these last year when my daughter stated shooting archery in school. I can’t get over the clarity and detail I can see with these. I have no problem scoring her arrows while seated in the bleachers. Vortex should give me a commission on the pairs some of the other dads have bought after using mine. Keep up the great job Vortex, love your products. AR red dots are awesome as well.

Last fire season I purchased a set of diamondback binoculars for my patrol truck I am a fire prevention officer for the forest service and I am constantly on the lookout for new lightning start fires. Vortex put together a great product one that is very durable and also very useful even in feeling light situations or in the hot part of the day in the middle of the Arizona desert or Nevada desert wherever I may be working I find myself utilizing them not killers for finding game looking for fires and other investigative measures. Depending on the fires location and vanished. I can gain on the fire with an ocular‘s it gives me a close and personal look at what my fire looks like even before I walk into it I give this product two thumbs up and no matter what year you says you will not be disappointed
