Athlon Optics 8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars with ED Glass for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More

The Athlon Optics 8x42 Midas UHD binos are precisely what I was trying to find !! I had used Bausch and Lomb 7x42 for 15 years, and they were quite adequate, smaller in size as well as viewing quality, but still good enough for surf trips, wildlife viewing, etc., but the Athlons are terrific !! Bigger, but the quality is so improved over the B&Ls ! B&L sold their bino business to Bushnell a few years ago. I tried the Bushnells, and much prefer the Athlons, due to the single image, instead of the back and forth with the two tubes. Just outstanding clarity and quality with the Athlons !! The reviews I read for the Athlons explained a lot in technical terms by reviewers who know their stuff !! Thanks to all of them !!

I've had these for about 2 months now and they experience everyday use. They are great for birding. These were an upgrade from my beginning pair of nikon binoculars and the difference is really significant. I'd say you can't go wrong with these. My only complaint is that the lense caps pop off very easily. This is especially troublesome if you're bushing it, in water, or it's raining. They feel good in your hands, aren't too heavy, and are durable through normal drops or bumping into things. The image you get through these is really great.

These binoculars are very well made and provide amazing, clear magnification. I whole heartedly recommend them. A bit pricey but well worth it.

I got this for bird watching but have also enjoyed using it for viewing the recent big full moon. I could clearly see lunar mountain and crater edges in sharp detail. Incredible to have such quality in binoculars that are also light enough to take hiking and bird watching. Highly recommended!

These were a gift for my husband. We used to have zoom binoculars, but these work so much better for clarity and field of vision. We have had a variety of binoculars over the years, and these are the best. Good size, too. You won’t be sorry if you purchase them!

These binoculars offer crystal-clear views with impressive sharpness and brightness. The ED glass really enhances the clarity, making them great for birdwatching and outdoor use. They feel well-built and comfortable to hold, and the focus adjustment is smooth and precise.However, I occasionally notice a black border in my field of view. It might be due to my positioning or the way I’m using them, but it can be a bit distracting at times. Adjusting the eye relief and interpupillary distance helps reduce the issue.Overall, they’re a fantastic pair of binoculars with excellent optics—just be mindful of getting the positioning right for the best experience!

I did a lot of research. This was a top choice from NY Times Wirecutter review of birding binoculars. I bought a few diff pairs to compare. This was the least expensive but was just as good as the almost $500 Nikon Monarch 7. At first I thought maybe it was too big for my small women’s hands, but after using it the last few days I’m very happy with my choice. The clarity is amazing, it feels comfortable in my hands and very easy to adjust.

It isn't easy to pick out binoculars with so many options and opinions. We didn't want to buy ones that were too expensive, but didn't want binoculars that wouldn't work well or that would be blurry or hard to focus. After some research, we bought these to use on vacations and when we want to see birds, etc. at home. They are of great quality with fantastic clarity of vision and ease of use. So happy we bought these.
