I've only had these 3 days but I'm so impressed by them,here in scotland not the driest place so needed something that was waterproof and fog proof they fit the bill perfectly ,and the optics far better than my old Nikon.

These are my first pair of binoculars, snd I couldn’t be happier. All the little details are covered. Attached lense covers, ergonomically comfortable, and a lifetime warranty. I would purchase these again.

I bought these two years ago but forgot to register them at the time. I guess I was enjoying using them too much! I have looked at a lot of high end US, German and Austrian products some of which cost around $3,000 or more and could not justify the expense for just a little better performance. For my requirements the Steiner XC 10X42 gives top notch performance for a reasonable price.

I have several Steiner scopes and another pair of Steiner binoculars. That pair is10x56 and I decided that I wanted another smaller pair for hunting in closer situations. I have a couple of stands that my shooting lanes are only 100 yards or so. I didn't hesitate and went back with another Steiner product. Cannot go wrong with them.

Eye cap rubber shade are not aligned properly when eyecap are extended. Also the eyecap extension is too short, exit pupil is too small seein blackout area. I have to position eyecaps away from my eyes to obtain full comfortable view. Disappointed with this purchase.

This is a good entry level pair of binoculars. the optics is good and the build is excellent. However, is not quite as sharp as the Nikon Monarch 5. The Monarch 5 is 10x42 but the size is almost identical to the Steiner 10x32. The Monarch 5 is a little more expensive. I've never had a pair of Steiner's before.

We used Bushnell binoculars our new Steiners are much clearer and focused. We're happy with our purchase.

Really hard to see through these. You can’t have your eyes directly against the cups and have to hold them a bit away from your face to get a clear view.

Hefty, well built binos that are unmistakably high quality. Covered in shock absorbing rubber armor and waterproof. Convenient neck strap attachment points and attached (but removable) objective lens covers — very handy. One standout feature: foldable eye cup sun shields. This is a rare but very useful convenience. Only gripe: the quick focus mechanism is a tad too touchy. Even slight movements of the knob will degrade the focus, though it doesn't tend to lose focus unless bumped.

Very nice set of mid range compact binoculars. Better then my brothers vortex and as nice as my buddies meoptas. Would buy again.

I was looking for a nice one such as a Nikon Monarch 5, or a similar one and they are moderately expensive. Binocular with good optic design and quality doesn't come cheap. When I saw the deal from Adorama, I hesitated at first because this model is not popular; not many sites are selling this, and I couldn't find any review for this particular model. I wasn't even sure when I got it and tried it first. But after learning how to adjust the view and focus and be familiar with it, I don't regret at all. I took it with me for two hiking trips in the CA state parks, and it's worth the money. The feel and build are solid. The optic is very clear and bright. I was also not so sure about choosing between 8x vs. 10x due to shakiness. It is not that bad to bother me or get me dizzy.

I love these binoculars, they are very well made. They produce high quality viewing in a compact and rugged case. These are replacing an older pair of Bushnell's and I am perfectly happy with the quality and craftsmanship of these Steiner binoculars.

This unit is compact, easy to carry and works perfectly for bird/critter watching in the woods and beaches. It is very reasonably priced too.

I was pleasantly surprised with these. Comparable to my Leica binoculars. The only issue is the eye relief is a little tricky. Just rotate the glass in a circular manner a little and it pops into view. I also love all the included protective caps which stay attached to the binoculars.

This is my 2nd binocular I owned, I lost the first one made by other company in Japan. I liked this Steiner , the view is pleasant to the eyes ( I wear glass ). also bright and sharp, a little heavy to my hands, rubber finish stick to the hands easily. I did not see the mark where it made, so I am not sure it made in Germany or else.

Good optics but some glue visible around one of the eyepieces a little disappointing for this manufacturer and level of product

Have had these only a week, but am very impressed. They support the Steiner reputation for rugged, high quality binos. Large field of view, bright and vibrant image, with very fast manual focusing.

I Have Only Received These Binoculars Yesterday, So I Have Not Really Had A Chance To Use Them Much, But They Are Very Well Made And Have Substantial Weight To Them, Can You Tell Me What Are The Four Plastic Fittings That Were Supplied In The Box For? They Are Not The Same Size As The Clicloc Fittings.

I used Steiner binoculars in the military, and their ruggedness and outstanding optics convinced me to buy them again, although this time with greater magnification. The new ones are easy to use, fairly lightweight, and the best all-rounder binoculars I have had the pleasure of owning.

Bought these for hunting and can't wait to hunt with them. Took them out of the box and trued them out locally A world of difference from my old, not so good binos.

Ordered these not knowing if I was going to like them because of size, I could not find any in our area to tryout and personally handle them. Talked to a Steiner Rep. and assured me that I would be pleased, if not I could return them. After receiving them and had a chance to go out into the field hunting with them they are great size compact enough to carry under shirt, fits in the pickup cubby hole easily, very sharp and clear, great product.
