This was definitely worth re-posting: "To find the best binoculars, we had a professional Ornithologist spend over 100 hours field-testing 17 pairs against his own $2,500 Leica Ultravids. After using our test pairs in the mountains and hills of Southern California, then on a research trip to the rain forests of southern Mexico, he found that the Athlon Optics Midas 8×42 pair was the best of the group, offering performance comparable to his Leicas for a fraction of the price and the widest field of view out of all the binoculars tested. This means you’ll see more, and it will look better." "The Athlon Optics Midas 8×42—along with nearly all of the other binoculars we tested—are the beneficiaries of a revolution in optical quality caused by the falling costs of precision manufacturing and optical treatments. For under $300 you can get a pair of binoculars that matches—that’s matches, not comes close to— products that cost hundreds, or even thousands, more. The Athlon Midas ED pair’s optics aren’t its only strong suit: These are exceptionally durable binoculars that easily withstood the humid, dusty, and hostile environment of the Mexican rain forest and harsh sun of the Californian desert. And their focus dial adjusts reliably and smoothly across a wide range of depths, making it easy to focus on what you’re trying to see, no matter where it is." - thewirecutterRead full review

With the ED glass and dielectric prism coating, the image quality is awesome. These also work better with glasses on than any other binoculars I have ever owned. I got these at a great price, and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Optics--superb...Price--unbelievably low for the quality...Rugged--absolutely...Ergonomics--I love porros, but these roof prisms are GREAT, extremely durable, but not chincy lightweight. Look to be very, very well built. Of course, you could get the Swar's for nearly two grand. I would suggest you buy two pair.

My friend who is a serious birder gave me a chance to demo her Athlon Midas binoculars that I didn't want to give back. My previous model was Steiner Predator. I absolutely love the clarity & wide view. Superbly well made imo. I grabbed an open box deal off eBay with no issues. Used everyday now in my outdoor pack as a wildlife photographer. Super happy with my purchase.

I picked this based on the strongly positive review from Wirecutter and have not been disappointed. Very impressive clarity and durable construction. Lens caps pop on and off easily and are attached so you don't lose them. Wide field of vision. Love it!
