I bought these back a few years ago thru expertvoice. Vortex is definitely in a class of their own. Twice these have taken major spills amd vortex was more than happy to check them out and fix what is broken. These are tough built model. I hunt washington and idaho. I dont have any issues with early morning fogging or dusty lenses. I love the diamondback series.

I have loved these binoculars. I have glassed multiple times with these and have loved it each time. Obviously since these are the lower quality binoculars at times at greater distances they can be SLIGHTLY blurry but I mean barely noticeable. The glass is super clear and I will definitely be using these as long as I can. They are great. The harness is honestly comfortable to wear as well. These are great starter binos.

I lost my eyecup to my 4 or 5 year old Vortex binoculars. I called. Talked to an actual person who actually helped solve my problem without being transferred four times. Parts arrived in a week. Amazing. Vortex customer service rocks.

When in comes to value in optics- Vortex is tough to beat. Bought these nocs for hunting and work use. Crystal clear optics, comfortable to use and small enough to stow in a pack. Fantastic item.

Vortex has always had good glass at a very competitive price point. Purchased these as a back-up to keep in my truck. The clarity of the glass is very good considering the price compared to other brands. The warranty doesn't hurt either.

Vortex stands behind their product. Their return policy is like no other. Their warranty is outstanding.

Pros: I really like how these binos are a little bit smaller and lighter than other 10x42 binos. At the same time they're very sturdy and well toleranced. The rubberized covers for the lenses are among the best I've used and do a good job keeping the lenses clean. The eye cup adjustments are well indexed and satisfying. The picture is clear and bright. The neck strap and chest harness are comfortable. Cons: The plastic pieces on the neck strap webbing broke after about a year, meaning now I have the neck strap tied to the loops on the binos themselves. The depth of field of these is not as good as some other similarly priced binos I've used. I have to more finely tune the focus when using these for subjects 25-100ft away.

Shipped in a timely manner from Votrex. These are perfect binoculars for a sub-$500 set of eyes. I wish I could say I was surprised by their quality, but I expected this from Vortex. They have great glass and let in a lot of light. I highly recommend.

Clear glass perfect for hunting east of the Mississippi. Weight isn't too heavy. I don't love the bag/rig for it. It isn't bad just don't love it. But hey you don't buy them for the carrier

The Diamondback® HD 15x56s are powerful, clear, and sturdy. They're great for long-range glassing, especially with a tripod, and I think they're a great value for the performance.

The Diamondback® HD 10x42s are clear, bright, and easy to use. They're lightweight, focus fast, and feel great in hand. For the price, I think they're a fantastic value.

I'm an ornithologist. Sometimes I don't need my big expensive binoculars. These are great for walking trails in the neighborhood and also for birders who want a great value. The weight, clarity, and build of these optics are incredible. I've recommended them to many birders.

Incredible pricing and warranty
By Shebadog
Wow...just bought these after spending a month on reviews and trying out several pairs. I'm not an expert but learned alot and love these...nice sturdy build, bright, focus great from side to side..no blurring or fish eye. Best warranty on the market and I read all warranties on the better brands...nothing to match including zweiss. Was torn between 8x42, 10x42 and 10x50. After salesman let me take them outside the 10x50 won my eyes. Gave me just a little more magnification without compromisi...
