Good quality and Amazing images

I am very happy with the Steiner 8X42 HX, the material quality is amazing and the images is to another level. I am using for birds watching and I really enjoy this binocular. It?s a little heavier but not complaining is worthy!!!

Great Product

First pair of more powerful binoculars for deer hunting. I went for the HX model and happy I did. Last 5-10 minutes of legal light I can see into the trees with these and see quite well. Take them away and it's just dark. I wear glasses and one of the fold down eye cups tore a bit. Think this was from me replacing the rain caps with the cups folded down. That has been the only issue. Very happy with quality and function of these.

My Go-To Binocular

Absolutely exceptional binocular, particularly for the money. I also have Zeiss, Swarovski, & Vortex optics in my stable, and I reach for these nearly every time. They're the total package. I honestly can't fathom how they haven't become the most popular binocular in hunting.

Had these for a couple weeks now and they feel great. Just the right size and weight. Built tough. Brightness and clarity is unbelievable. You will be able to see clearly long past legal shooting light. I like, I?m sure you?ll like em.

My new favorite optics.

I bought these 10x42 hx barely used, still in the box and the neck strap was still in the plastic. Great clarity and low light characteristics. I really like the fast focus. These will be my new go to hunting binos. These perform just like more expensive brands and are of like quality.

objectives rubber caps

the caps that protect de objective lenses are verry loose. It open by itself as you just walk with the binoculars around your neck.

Easy On The Eyes...

I live in Arizona and when I'm in the field I glass a lot. These bino's are very easy on the eyes. No headaches or eye strain from hours behind the tripod. I also have the HX 15x56. I use the 15's for spotting and the 8's for the stalk. Stays clear in the rain and as bright and clear as the other European glass that costs twice as much. You can't go wrong with the HX.

Fantastic Binoculars

I bought these binoculars for birding a month ago and I am extremely impressed. They gather light very well so even in lower light conditions I can see very well. I generally notice how well things are designed and constructed and these binoculars hit all the buttons, well designed and solid construction. This is my first pair of Steiners and I'm very impressed.

Magical!

I've always had good binoculars, but then I wanted a really good pair, so I got these 10x42 Steiner. It took me a few days to get used to them, because in my haste I didn't set them up properly. Now, using them is a joy - a trip in fact. I take them everywhere. One amazing thing about them, is that the clarity and contrast increase at dusk! Truly magical technology!

Compact, Rugged and Crisp Clearity

Bought these binoculars because of Steiner quality. The twilight factor and Luminosity ratings are very high. After looking at many reviews and many types of Binoculars I purchased the HX 10x42. Nice look and feel, very satisfied with my purchase.
