Consumer Reports

If you're looking for the absolute best optical quality on the market in a pair of binoculars likely to become a family heirloom, the Swarovski EL 8.5x42 is the best choice. This model surpassed the other premium models in our testing, offering better image quality and superior comfort. Its ability to maintain perfect clarity across the entire image sets the EL apart, whereas most models leave some blurring at the edges. This creates an incredibly immersive image that made us feel like we were sitting just a few feet away from our avian subjects.
There's just one downside of the EL, and it's a big one: price. These cost as much as a used car and are more of an investment than a purchase. However, if you're a serious birder who wants the best of the best, or you're embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime safari, these will undoubtedly take your experience to the next level.

 I also wanted the best lens system available. To date, that leaves one manufactured and one model of theirs. I ordered the Swarovski 12X by 50 Els. I was just amazed that this 12X power can be handheld

 They are an absolute delight to hold and fit Your hands perfectly. The ability to hold the high power is all due to lens coatings used and the highest quality of their optic glass. The eyepieces have 14 elements and the lens coatings produce images with no perceived glare. I did purchase a tripod for fixed viewing and I'll admit the images are even better on that stable platform; but, for stepping through the woods, these Swarovski 12 by 50 Els are nothing short of spectacular

 The images are crystal clear and seem to be right in Your face close. The close focus is nearly at You toes, 12 to 15 feet. They are an absolute delight to hold and fit Your hands perfectly. The ability to hold the high power is all due to lens coatings used and the highest quality of their optic glass

 I began with 6X, and then 8X, From My old Navy days on shipboard watch We had 7X power which have been the standard power since World War Two. That is most commonly believed to be the great overall power and that has some basis of fact. These days I want to be able to see crystal clear images, in minute detail in possibly dimmer than daylight conditions as that's when the majority of animals and birds are out. I wanted the largest objectives I could find giving the largest size exit pupil

Spectacular !!  Absolutely spectacular !!

 There are little 3D effect which I like so not completely flat like 8.5x. Very small size and excellent build quality. Customer service is best with swaro

 These 12x50 on a tripod is what I have used a lot in last 2 months. Pros: Best eye relief available in any 12x. Optics are sharp and clear. Colors are beautiful

 8.5x42 was bought 5 years ago but I never used it. These 12x50 on a tripod is what I have used a lot in last 2 months. Pros: Best eye relief available in any 12x

Not perfect but still the best out there

Best Binoculars of 2022 - GearLab

We didn't buy these from Amazon, but we want Amazon customers to know that Swarovski's legendary reputation for good design and outstanding service is still intact. After five years of heavy and very enjoyable use in and out of the USA, the green rubber exterior shock coating on these bins was looking a bit worn. We returned them to Swarovski's Rhode Island office and got them back in under three weeks. Not only were the bins given a new external rubber coating, but they were given new eye cups, had the focus mechanism repaired (we hadn't even noticed whatever problem they fixed) and were realigned, all for free

 Swarovski really does stand solidly behind its products and we highly recommend them to you.

A great compact binocular with OUTSTANDING factory warranty coverage/service

  As for Swarovski's warranty service, my wife's 8 x 32 EL Swarovski binoculars, also heavily used over the last five years, had the green rubber exterior shock coating looking a bit worn. We returned them to Swarovski's Rhode Island office and got them back in under three weeks.

A great pair of binoculars, backed up by a bullet-proof factory warranty

The Diamondback HD delivers a rock-solid optic that optically punches high above its class.

If you're looking for an affordable option that is lightweight, compact, and of good quality, it's hard to do better than the Vortex DiamondBack HD 8x28. Weighing in at a svelte 14 ounces, these still provide good optical clarity and an exceptional performance-to-weight ratio. Combine that with sturdy construction, a surprisingly comfortable grip, and a relatively low price, and you have the perfect option for backpacking birders on a budget. 
The lack of brightness is the only real downside of the DiamondBack HD 8x28, which is a sacrifice you have to accept if you want the small size and weight of 28mm objective lenses. In most situations, the lenses still gather plenty of light- just don't expect any miracles on an overcast predawn morning.
