HX 10x42 is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Go-To Binocular Absolutely exceptional binocular, particularly for the money. I also have Zeiss, Swarovski, & Vortex optics in my stable, and I reach for these nearly every time. They're the total package. I honestly can't fathom how they haven't become the most popular binocular in hunting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Had these for a couple weeks now and they feel great. Just the right size and weight. Built tough. Brightness and clarity is unbelievable. You will be able to see clearly long past legal shooting light. I like, I’m sure you’ll like em.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reasonably light with great optics Second pair of Steiners and just as please with these as the first. My others are a pair of Commanders, which have a different prism style that gives images better depth perception but with the compromise of being much bigger and heavier. They’re great on a boat, but not to carry or pack in a smaller bag. Great for wild life spotting. Good quality— looks to be made to last for years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stellar Steiners Glass clarity is fantastic. Definitely better than my Nikon M7s. The field of view and eye relief is better too. The eyecup wings can be irritating for folks with glasses, or if they don't fit your head shape, but they are easily folded out of the way if it's an issue. Overall very pleased with these optics. Bought them as a gift for Dad and used them hunting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Optics These binoculars are incredibly clear. The zoom to weight ratio is excellent. Really a great product. The optics are on par with any high end brand. I’ve had a range of brands before, these are by far the best optics and they really bring the wow factor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Optics Super high quality build with equally high caliber glass. Highly recommend these. I use these for spotting and for sporting events and they are a great blend of magnification and field of view.
