Great optics. Design flaw in eyepiece.

I bought these only 20 days ago. The optics are great - no question. Great sharpness, great color fidelity, no fringing. fantastic light gathering. However, like another reviewer wrote in their review of the 10x44 model of the Windlife XP, the eyepiece has a design flaw. Mine, I need fully extended for the full 20 mm eye relief. However, after just one retraction, the right eyepiece now always comes back with the rubber eyecup facing INWARD see photo). No matter how gently you try to repeat the process, the result is always the same. Since the eyecups are fixed to the eyepiece, they cannot be turned or re=positioned independently, either. I could fold the eyecups down, but that totally defeats their purpose. I am NOT happy.

Awesome is an understatement !!

I am a 60-year-old US Army Veteran with a background in Spec. Ops. I wear glasses. I've used all the big name glass at one time or another. I live in the Adirondack Mtns. of upstate NY and spend most of my time in the backwoods wilderness hunting, fishing, and exploring. I've busted my share of glass crawling in the boonies, and I must say that these binoculars are built like an M-1 Abrams tank. I am really impressed with the quality of the build, and the optics are the best that i've ever used. They are just awesome. The ultra HD-3D glass just blew me away. I recommend these over any of the Swarofski or Leica's that I've owned in the past.

Spectacular Quality and value

I own both a set of Steiner Safari's and Zeiss Victory FL's. I just received my Steiner Wildlife XP's and I would put them in the same class as the Zeiss Victory's. They both utilize flouride glass lenses and produce bright, sharp and clear images. I was able to acquire them at below MSRP cost which I think makes them an exceptional value for the quality of binocular. If you are in the market for a high performing binocular at a more affordable price point than the Zeiss' and the Leica's I would strongly recommend these.

Horrible Poor quality!!

Bought these binos last year and have now had to send them in 3 TIMES because they broke!!! Poor design of the eye cups causes seizing and they lock down to never come back up. Try and turn them... you’ll break them. Broke them now for the 4th TIME!! Never again will I buy Steiner!!

Do the military really use these?

I’ve had 2 pairs of these Steiner binocs and on both occasions the eye cups fell off, and I only use them once or twice a year! To be fair, they gave me a new pair at a reduced rate the first time it happened, but unfortunately it happened again. If the military really use these units I’d be surprised! The image though is fantastic, but that doesn’t help if you can’t look through them. Wouldn’t recommend as there are much cheaper products with better quality.

Good optic but short comings for its price

I’ve had these binoculars for about a month. Took these out scouting for my upcoming deer hunt. Rainy, heavily over cast day. The low light performance is great compared to other binos I’ve used (not many in the high end category). The detail I was able to pick up on trees the shadows was great. The edge to edge clarity is not great. Was considering Vortex Razors but bought these instead. Went to a local retailer that sells Swarovski and Vortex several times. Edge to edge clarity on Swarovski SLC and EL is far better and so is the Vortex Razor. I ordered the Wildlife online without ever looking through them. The edge to edge clarity seams to get worse in bright light. This should not be an issue in this price point. The eye cups on this are garbage. They are loose and wobble, cheaper Vortex models such as Vipers have much better eye cups. These should be near perfect for the price point of the Wildlife XP 10x44. I also don’t care for the wings on the eye cups. The size and weight are larger than I expected (If I’d have read the discription I’d have known) these are larger than Vortex 10x50 (this is not a problem). The Wildlife are comfortable to hold and glassing for extended periods is easy on the eyes. I wish that there was a tripod adapter for these. I found a great sale on these otherwise I wouldn’t have purchased. For what I paid (about 1/3 of retail) I think they are a good binocular, but if you are paying a $1000 plus I would look at other binoculars. To be fair because I have not handled other Steiner Binoculars, the edge to edge clarity and the wobbly eye cups could be a fluke with the pair I have purchased. I would think quality control would have eliminated this pair if these did not meet the standard Steiner set.

The new Wildlife XP is their best optic for observing nature and wildlife. Ultra-high-definition optics ground from fluoride glass produce extraordinary detail and light transmission throughout the entire visible spectrum. The optical system produces an exceptionally wide field of view and true color fidelity for breathtaking views of birds and wildlife in their natural habitat. The combination of HD optics, compact, ergonomic design, wide field-of-view and low-light performance makes it ideal for naturalists and birders

Ultra-HD Optics HD fluoride glass ensures brilliant color fidelity and outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness.

Precision Settings for the right and left eyepieces allow for individual diopter settings to suit your personal visual activity.
