Athlon Optics 10x50 Midas G2 UHD Black Binoculars with Eye Relief for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More

I did a few hours of research, and these seemed to be the right binoculars for the money. My wife and I are both thrilled with the quality.

These are the best pair of binoculars I have owned to date. I think they are some of the best you can get at this price range.

Crystal clear leaps and bounds above my Vortex. Will be getting a second set in 12x50 for hunting the fields.

For decades, I have been making do with a Tasco Model 320 8x30 Porro for around the house and astronomy use. Recently, Sky and Telescope magazine had an excellent article in their August 2021 issue that reviewed the basics of binoculars as well as several dozen models for astronomy use. I was amazed at how much things have changed over the years so I decided that it was time to upgrade and buy one of the article's top recommendations, the Athlon Optics Midas G2 10x50 UHD.This roof prism binocular is offered at Amazon for a large discount compared to the list price mentioned in the article, which is a huge plus. All things being equal, roof prisms offer lower light loss than Porro prisms, which is why Porros are only found in lower cost products these days. The binocular is very sturdy in construction but at a cost of a lot of weight, easily three times the weight of my older binoculars. The heavy weight, combined with the 10x makes the view very jiggly for me, which is very disappointing. The excellent 66 degrees field of view is really nice however. You can adjust the width between the eyepieces but my eyes are so close together that even at the narrowest setting, it doesn't quite reach optimum for me like my older pair does. The objective lens covers are seriously tight and hard to remove; hopefully that will improve with use. Focus range is quite large, but I have to use my eyeglasses to reach focus, thanks to my very poor eyesight.I'm decently happy with my purchase, though I can't get everything out of it that I would like thanks to my age, weak arms and poor eyesight. I have no doubt that a child would have a tough time using these. I'm going to need to purchase a matching tripod mount and tripod to take full advantage of my purchase. Still, I tested this binocular on Orion's Belt and Sword and they were utterly exquisite!

Despite these being a bit expensive, after using them for a year, I can fully recommend. These binoculars are very well built, have amazing optics, and the coatings are great. I don’t have any complaints honestly. I will certainly but from Athalon again in the future.

Everyone's face is different, of course. But for me, while i could hold the binocular a bit out from my face I could see the full field and appreciate some good optics -- very nice clarity in the sweet spot that extends maybe 75% out to the edge -- but when I tried to nudge in to get a comfortable viewing position supported against my face the view was marred by black bars. For me, several hundred dollars for some otherwise good binos that I couldn't hold comfortably was not going to work. Regrettably, a return -- a shame because I really wanted these to work out given the glowing reviews.It was almost comical to try to use these at night -- a nice starfield , with a black blob on one side; try to compensate and the black blob comes in from the other side. Attack from the Coalsack Nebula!Note to Athlon: rework the eyecup extension so that there is a setting that comes out just a few more millimeters.No fault to Euro Optics. I ordered from Amazon through them with no problems.

These are tremendous performers. They are comparable to Binos costing 3-5 x more. Good eye relief, very little CA. Can’t believe the quality for the cost

I like the looks of them and they do work well. It was easy to get them in focus.
