My wife wanted these for bird watching, they seemed very expensive but the clarity made them well worth it. I have to use a telescope on a stand myself because I shake too much for any binoculars, although this lower power makes it somewhat usable even for me.

It is much better than the toy binocular I bought before.

Los recomiendo, son magníficos. Exteriormente se aprecia que son unos binoculares de calidad. Lo más destacable es la comodidad de uso. En buenas condiciones de luz se ve con la misma claridad que prismáticos de menor precio. Tengo unos Nikon que me costaron 190€ y casi no se aprecia la diferencia en la calidad de la imagen.

the viper binoculars are a good piece of glass for the money; in fact, this is probably the best optics in its class for its price point.

After doing some research I ended up purchasing the Vortex Viper 8×42. Im very happy with this purchase. To start with the uncondtional Vip lifetime warranty is amazing. It adds to peace of mind! It comes with the glaspak chest harness and it really fits well. I used the manual to set my binos up and I was really amazed at the clarity. Some say these binos are a tad heavy but I think I prefer it being heavy. It feels very stable in my hands and the construction just feels very sturdy. The ultimate test for these binos will call in the following 2 weeks. But so far just in the backyard it’s really impressed me.

On my first trip out with these Vortex Optics binoculars I managed to identify eleven new species of birds in a few days. It’s all about the clarity. The little details that I used to miss with my 30+ year old birding binoculars are a thing of the past. These optics, for the price, will change the way you see birds. Get them!!
BTW…they come with an excellent chest harness which is really great because they are not light. Though I am glad they are made from strong materials to protect the optics. It’s worth the extra few ounces.
I was not paid, nor offered incentives, to write this review.

Le choix de jumelles est toujours un compromis entre des paramètres quelque peu contradictoires: grossissement, champ de vision, luminosité crépusculaire, poids, encombrement, prix. Même si ce ne sont pas non plus des jumelles de théâtre, celles ci sont un bon compromis à un tarif très raisonnable, pour la randonnée, l’observation des oiseaux ou mammifères, etc.
Côté commande et livraison, aucun souci (livraison dans un casier Amazon Locker).

Optics are very comparable to the Nikon Monarch M7 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GTMZH2X), though I slightly preferred the Nikon and the wife preferred the Vortex.
Excellent upgrade option from the ~$200 starter binos. Excellent resolution, contrast, and brightness. 8x magnification is great if you have trouble holding them super steady and get dizzy with 10x or 12x.

We needed to purchase a new pair of binoculars for our roofing business and these are perfect. We had an old pair that we couldn’t focus anymore. The difference between the old ones and the Vortex Optics is astonishing! We will use them to look for hail damage on roofs. It comes with a very nice canvas case, straps, backpack strap, etc. We are extremely pleased with this product.

Love the clarity for bird watching. However the case is overkill for daily use or casual use. Would be better for a longer hunt or hike, but I would bring a higher magnification in those circumstances. I wish that the case converted to allow for side carry and that it had clips instead of having to thread it through. It takes a lot of time to set up. The mesh pockets are too small and delicate for more than a lens cleaning wipe. The weight of the binoculars is a decent balance, but the neck strap/case could be more comfortable. Chest carry can be cumbersome for a woman.

Hard to tell the difference in quality of glass and picture from the Razors. If these are what you can afford, buy them.

I bought them for my girlfriend as a step up from her previous pair of lower end Vortex binos. She loves these and is definitely enjoying watching birds with them. Crisp and clear focus.
