 The "diopter" creep continued until I would need to set the diopter to the Max "+" in order to maintain the barrels parfocal. I chalked it up to a manufacturing defect and eagerly waited a replacement pair. At first, the replacement pair needed only minimal diopter adjustment (as is necessary with all my other binoculars). But once again with repeated usage, I needed to adjust the diopter offset more and more

 In time though, I have really grown to appreciate my Zeiss Conquests to the point that they are the only BInoculars I use now.

 I also own a pair of Kowa 10x32 BDXD, Steiner WIldlife Pro XP 10x26. and Redfield 10x50's Additionally, I own a VIXEN 102mm fluorite F9 telescope, so you could say that I like optics. I was very impressed with the image quality, and the wider field was a nice improvement over the Monarch 5's. They also were better collimated than the Monarch 5's

 I was very impressed with the image quality, and the wider field was a nice improvement over the Monarch 5's. They also were better collimated than the Monarch 5's.,and as my father was fond of saying, "You get what you pay for". (they are 3x cost of Monarch 5's)

Problems with Diopter adjustment drift

I recently purchased Nikon Monarch HG binoculars. Other Nikon products I've purchased in the past made me comfortable buying again, but the reasons I went for the HGs are because they are made in Japan and have field flatteners.

I’m looking to treat myself to a new pair of binoculars, and want something nice. I currently have the Bushnell Legends which I like a lot, but looking to upgrade. What is everyone using and why?

</div>

What are you guys using for birding?

 I don’t live near any large sportsman stores that carry a decent selection of optics. Everything in my area is low- to mid-level. My interest in higher-end optics is relatively new, so I haven’t done much looking around when I’ve been in larger cities.  Based on my experience with low- and mid-level bins, I assumed the view would be pretty awesome and the build quality would be just as great for this high-end bino

 They actually stay on, which is a whole lot better than any other pair I own. My Nikon Action Extreme porro binoculars have terrible covers, so the difference there is night and day. On the other end, I’m not crazy about the eyepiece cover. It is a harder plastic that, while functional, seems a bit out of place and doesn’t slide on and off very well

  Optics In all honesty, I was not blown away when I looked through these bins. That was a little disappointing at first glance, but then I started to pay more attention to what I was seeing. Or, more to the point, what I wasn’t seeing. I am used to bins that are pretty decent, but I always notice that I’m looking through a lot of glass

  The diopter adjustment works well. I haven’t had any issue with the locking ring not staying locked. Also, there has been no sign of diopter drift, which has been reported in a couple other reviews I’ve seen online.  Overall, this seems to be a well-made binocular

Excellent quality and extremely capable

 I compared viewing with a set of 10 x 42 MG's with Premier 8 X 42's. Very little improvement in magnification. Why was the Premier line discontinued? Nikon has nothing to replace it at this time. I've also experienced "issues" with Nikon Repair Service

 Your new line of Monarch HG's is not even close to the Premiers. Everything is of inferior quality, from the case, to the binoculars themselves. I compared viewing with a set of 10 x 42 MG's with Premier 8 X 42's. Very little improvement in magnification

Nikon states that this is the "new line" to replace ...

These are absolutely amazing for the prize. We compared my set against Lecia Geovids, Vortex Razor and Swaro's. These held their own against the Leica's and we're just edged out by the Swaro's that were $2800, and beat out the Razor's easily. I also love the weight of these and compact size

 Definitely an awesome buy for the money, and if that's not enough just do google search for reviews.

Viper HD binoculars are an optical masterpiece, giving hunters, shooters and outdoor enthusiasts a great option. The HD optical system delivers stunning resolution, color fidelity and edge-to-edge clarity. These are one of the lightest, most compact, full-size binos on the market: a noteworthy attribute when gear consideration can be measured in grams. Includes GlassPak chest harness, keeping your binos at the ready while providing comfortable, protected, strain-free, all-day carry.

Consumer Reports

Offering what we believe to be the best balance of performance and price, the Vortex Viper HD 8x42 is the best choice for those looking to invest in a quality pair of optics. Their high-quality glass created some of the brightest and clearest images we came across in our testing. The only models that we found to be better than the Viper HD in our image quality testing retail above a couple of thousand dollars. They also boast a 6.5-foot close focus range and are comfortable in hand, with a nice supple focus knob and an overall weight that's on the lighter side for a full-sized pair of optics.
The Viper HD has one major downside: a high price. They certainly aren't cheap. However, if you're looking for high-end optical quality without spending a couple of thousand dollars on the premium models, we think the Viper HD is the best choice.

 Even if they are the same quality as the old made in Japan version as the manufacturer states, they just inherently feel cheeper now with that knowledge, especially since its branded directly on the binoculars. Overall I was vary disappointed with these and returned them. Hopefully they correct these deficiencies on for v2.

Close focus not as listed. Better field of view but awful design downgrade from last model.

Best Binoculars of 2022 - GearLab

 I compared the Vortex Viper HD 8 x 42 with the Meopta Meopro Air HDED 8 x 42 (650 euros). If the Vortex, according to some reviews, is close to the top (Swarovski, etc), the Meopta ís the top: very, very high clarity and brightness and an amazing field view. The Vortex isn't that level. But, overall, for this price level, a good one!

Good, but...

 I needed a good magnification, clarity, large field of view, compact, bright and life time warranty. After many days of research and many days of testing, Vortex Viper HD were the best All Around Binoculars for the price. 8x42 is great but didn't provide the magnification needed. 10x42 provided magnification but was not bright enough and had a smaller field of view

 8x42 is great but didn't provide the magnification needed. 10x42 provided magnification but was not bright enough and had a smaller field of view. 10x50 provided the best combination of magnification, brightness and field of view. Exit pupil is 5mm! For best brightness in low light, you need a 5mm exit pupil or larger

I researched and tried binoculars for three months. I needed an all purpose binocular. I needed a good magnification, clarity, large field of view, compact, bright and life time warranty. After many days of research and many days of testing, Vortex Viper HD were the best All Around Binoculars for the price

Best All Around Binoculars!!!

  The roosting turkeys were about a half mile away and I did not have any real trouble viewing them, a tribute to the clarity and brightness of these optics.  They also peer into shadows really well which is very useful when viewing birds in trees with many leaves. There were many caves and crevices in the cliffs where I was hiking and I could investigate all of these even though it was very shaded inside them.

Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and feel like I spent my hard earned money very wisely.

Now on to the fun stuff. These binoculars are freaking amazing for the price, a typical Vortex product.  Super bright. Super clear

Great Buy, short term review

 I had some trouble with the dioptic focus ring so I sent them in for repair under Vortex’s excellent lifetime warranty. To my surprise they sent these excellent binoculars to replace the Talon. You can read other reviews about how great the Viper binoculars are. I just want to give Vortex a shout out for great customer service and the best warranty in the industry!!! That alone is worth a few extra bucks over the Nikon Monarch or other brands

Not just great binoculars, a great company.

 I shipped them back to Vortex and got them back fully repaired, assiduously cleaned, and almost like-new, after only two weeks. During the holiday season, too! These binoculars are worth it for the optics alone, but the warranty is excellent added value.

This pair of binoculars is my primary birding set. As the specifications attest, they are quite sharp, very bright, suffer no noticeable chromatic aberration, and have a wide field-of-view. I'm reviewing these well after buying to recommend them for another reason: the warranty is as advertised. After about 7 months, the bins somehow came out of collimation (not sure how, exactly)

Excellent optics with a great warranty

After doing some research I ended up purchasing the Vortex Viper 8x42. 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

 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.

Everything you need all in one purchase
