The name Monarch has always been synonymous with optical excellence. Compact Monarch M7 8x42 binoculars take that performance to a new level, pushing resolution, brightness and field of view even further. Large 42mm objectives with 8x maginifcation deliver the widest view in the series. An unparalleled Nikon optical system with ED glass and multilayer lens and prism coatings produces outstanding low-light capabilities, lifelike colors and extreme resolution at any distance. Long eye relief with turn-and-slide eyecups for easy adjustments, a locking diopter, a new oil and water repellent lens coating plus a waterproof, fogproof rubber-armored design and more make these the greatest Monarch 7 series binoculars ever.

 On arriving home I found the M7 had been released, so I ordered the M7 on discount for $400 and returned the 7. In use, I can tell you that the M7 is a significant step up from the other optics we have, including other Monarchs, Monarch 5, and various other smaller binoculars.

Our friends had an older Nikon Monarch (not 100% sure which one, it just said Nikon Monarch), which I tried and liked. In the store, they had the Monarch 5 and 7, and I much preferred the field of view of the 7, so purchased that.

In use, I can tell you that the M7 is a significant step up from the other optics we have, including other Monarchs, Monarch 5, and various other smaller binoculars

I returned this item AT MY OWN EXPENSE because of the following: performance was no better than my pair of 40 year old Herter's; right eye adjustment was difficult and stiff to turn; the top lens cap was difficult to remove the first time and subsequently fell off whenever the binoculars were moved. Returning this item was costly due to its weight and Amazon covers only $3.99 of a $30 shipping expense. Better to go to a store where you can assess the item you wish to buy without being penalized for returning it

Not everything can be properly assessed virtually.

nice binoculars,had a chance to field test and the image is crisp and clear for the money,great field of view with these binoculars,i hope they stand up over time,thumbs up

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
