Excellent optics at a great price

I have to admit that I haven't had a new pair of binoculars since I was a kid, so the improvement I experienced may be overstated. Nonetheless, I am thoroughly impressed with every feature and aspect of these binos. When I'm not glassing for game they sit in my sunroom for observing all the activities and wildlife on the lake I live on. Unbeatable at this price!

I had the orignial crossfire

I had the orignial crossfire 10x42's from about 15 years ago and when they finally broke after falling off a cliff vortex upgraded me to these ones no questions asked. They are definitely improved over what they were and are a great entry level binocular. Great customer service from Vortex.

Glass is the best quality I've ever had! The lifetime warranty is awesome for the peace of mind it gives you if something happened. Light weight and easy to operate. Has been a huge help during my archery season!

Great for the price

It has a really good focal point and adjustments for the viewer and the chest case it comes with is a nice little bonus the only thing is that it's definitely not something that I still use I switched to the eberlestock bino harness but for a beginner/ intermediate lens it's super nice

Great all around tool!

Use these on Gator hunts every year, with the glass being so clear and being that I picked that bigger objective lens I can always pick out gators before anyone else. Will definitely be upgrading to the higher classes this season and passing these down to my Nephew!

For the price these are hard to beat. These have been great while hunting white tailed deer. They are compact enough that they are still usable in the treestand while bowhunting.

Better than expected!

Wow! Excellent quality. Very happy. These were better than expected. Im going to Europe and wanted some binoculars that could reach further distance than regular travel binoculars and these are so smooth, clear, precise, and they actually go further distance than anticipated for an eight 45. I was looking at Swarovski but they were so expensive, I guess it's the name because these were just as great!! Plus there's a sweet stash of accessories. I wasn't thrilled about the made in china but it is what it is.

Great binocs

Fabulous binocs at a great price, with a lifetime warranty to boot. I tried over a few months ago number of brand name binocs in the 10x42 category. A few Nikons, and a couple of more expensive options. These had a better feel, sharper image and ease of use. Did I mention the great price?

waste of money

they have an absolutely great image in perfect lighting conditions. as soon as the light is not perfect the image is full of white hazing. can't get rid of it no matter what adjustments you make. i have 40 yr. old canon 8*23's which weren't super expensive and they don't do this at all in a side by side comparison.

Competitive glass for the price

I've been using the Vortex Crossfire HD 10x42 binoculars for months and am really impressed. The 10x magnification gives clear, vibrant images, even in low light. They're durable, comfortable to hold, and compact for easy carrying. Overall, great value for high-quality optics. Highly recommend!

Great for the price

The clarity is spectacular; price is great for an all-around pair of binocs. Focuses easily. They feel solid and are of great quality. Haven't used them in the rain yet, so can't say how they do, but work great for wildlife watching. I love that it comes with a protective case, carry strap, AND the harness.

Absolutely amazing for the money. I would put these up against some $300+ sets. Love the price and the product. Not afraid to use and abuse with a great warranty backing them and a realistic price tag. Great job vortex.

Great all around binocular

I bought these binoculars for 3d competition archery. They work great and from 40 +yrd can still see the scoring rings. I have also started using them for scanning areas while hunting. I like the chest harness that comes with it. The focus know is smooth to adjust and the clarity of the glass is awesome. I purchased a tripod mount for them for use on the range. I highly recommend these binoculars for any anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

Build feels solid in the hand without being too heavy, dial is easy to adjust for focus and has grip that would help if using gloved hands. Clear glass. Chest rig that comes with is just okay, works in a pinch and provides some cushioning but it is really hard to dial in a fit and the thin straps can cut after a while.

Vortex Crossfire 10x50

Have been using the Vortex Crossfire binos for about 5 years now and I love them. Before I bought the Crossfires, I always used cheap binos and struggled to see what I was looking at. After switching to Vortex, it is easy to acquire your target through the binoculars, keep a track on it, and zoom in/out. It is a great added bonus that Vortex includes the neck strap AND a chest rig. I did not think that I would utilize the chest rig, but I use it every time I use the binos. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone that needs a great set of binoculars

Outstanding Clarity and Durability

We recently received a pair of Vortex binoculars, and they have exceeded all expectations. The clarity is exceptional, with crisp, bright images even in low-light conditions. The build quality is top-notch-rugged, waterproof, and designed to withstand tough outdoor environments. The ergonomic design makes them comfortable to hold for extended periods, and the focus wheel is smooth and precise. These binoculars have been a game-changer for our outdoor activities at D. S. Farms Lewisburg, especially for enhancing the experience for our veterans.

Fantastic product at a great price point. These binoculars are great for whitetail hunting or letting the kids use them at the state parks you cannot go wrong. glass is clear and the additional harness provided by vortex is a plus and who does not like a lifetime warranty. Whether your are purchasing your first set of binoculars or a seasoned outdoorsman having a set around will definitely be put to good use.

Let?s start with the bad! ..... well there isn?t any. That?s the beauty of these. Getting them in you?re hands is as easy with gloves as without. The glass is exceptional giving the perfect color and clarity. My favorite part is they stay adjusted. Nothing?s more frustrating than trying to spot that running elk and fiddluing with focus. the added straps are actually not bad! Eye relief is absolutely perfect. Another feature I enjoy is the ease of adjusting from near to far. The dials are no...

By tangodelta3

First thing that I noticed was the build quality when unboxing these. The fit and finish is awesome; much better that I was expecting. They are a bit weighy but I am not planning on packing out with these. The clarity of the glass is amazing. Keep up the good work Vortex.
