Great binos for the price point. I use these for deer, turkey, and archery in AL where seeing for 200 miles isn't all that important.

Very reliable good quality optics. Bought them for a Western Elk hunt. Vortex makes a higher end model than this but found Diamond Back model a great value.

I use these binos while hunting in the woods, or while at home looking at things off of my deck. They are lightweight and easy to use. They come with a nice case to store them in when they are not in use.

I saw a buddy of mine using them over the weekend and decided I need them myself. They don't break the bank and they work as intended. Clear as day, and like the strap , carrying bag And accessories that come with it. A must on the range for anything up to 200

Great value for the money no doubt. I've taking this binos hunting for several years now. Compact ergonomics are great even when is wet and the glass is clear. Not the razor quality but it does its job

These 10x42 Binoculars deliver outstanding clarity and performance. They provide crisp, bright, and color-accurate images, even in low light conditions. The wide field of view makes it easy to spot and track wildlife. These binoculars are lightweight, featuring a durable rubber armor coating for a secure, non-slip grip. They're also waterproof and fog-proof, perfect for use in any weather. The adjustable eyecups and smooth focus wheel add comfort and precision to the experience. Overall, the Diamondbacks are a premium quality and reliability at a great value.

The Vortex Diamondback line is known for its mid-tier affordability. I would say this fits the bill. Binoculars are like scopes--you can spend a few hundred, or a few thousand--and you have to be realistic about your needs. I purchased these as a lightweight hiking option I could throw into my backpack, and also to use at the range when I didn't pack a magnified optic. It was especially useful for those days where I was using a red dot, shooting out at 100 yds or a little further, but wanted to see my impacts on paper without having to walk out there each time. I know there are much higher end binoculars out there, but I think many of the weekend-tactical community ends up buying something way more expensive than they will ever need for logo cred, and personally the Diamondback HD has done everything I've ever needed it to do. I would highly recommend.

They are practical and don't break bank. I have razor version and I keep these as a spare set in my truck for drive and spot. I love their range and glass is decent quality.

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.

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...
