The Steiner HX 15x56 won two "Best of 2018" awards from BestBinocularReviews.com, for best hunting binocular and best high power binocular: "For such a high magnification, the brightness and general quality of the view is you get through these is also super impressive. I was particularly blown away by the very low level of color fringing, which on high powered devices is usually far more obvious."

HX 15x56 is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Steiner standing behind their products!! My name is Wayne S. I live in Alabama and have owned a Steiner night hunter pair of binoculars for somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 to 10 years and have been very very happy with them. I am not sure what caused the night hunters to get moisture inside of them but will say I used them, didn't abuse them but they where we'll used. After the moisture showed up inside of night hunters I sent them back to Steiner for repair and instead of repair Steiner sent me back a new pair that was I think even better than the night hunter. So I rate Steiner no. 1 because they stand completely behind what they sell. I will always recommend Steiner to anyone because just because the sale is over Steiner is always their backing up their product . Thanks Steiner Wayne S. Alabama

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy On The Eyes I live in Arizona and when I'm in the field I glass a lot. These bino's are very easy on the eyes. No headaches or eye strain from hours behind the tripod. I also have the HX 8x42. I use the 15's for spotting and the 8's for the stalk. Stays clear in the rain and as bright and clear as the other European glass that costs twice as much. You can't go wrong with the HX.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fills a nice niech. The Steiner HX 15x56 is an amazing piece of equipment that is perfect for getting the small details on animals in less than perfect lighting conditions. (Long or short distances) 15X is hard to find in binoculars and has to be top quality to perform. These Steiner’s exceeded all expectations. I have only used Nikon and Zeiss and these exceed the performance of both. The 15x56 fill the perfect gap between hard to use sporting scopes and your average power binoculars or rangefinders. Get yourself a pair and see why Steiner is legendary.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High Quality Binoculars You can feel the quality as you pick up and hold these binoculars. They are a bit bulky and heavy, much more than I am used to but expected with the 56mm objective lens. Going to take to the field in November, so will have more to add after the trip to Montana...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Binos I usually do not waste time on writing reviews. But I make an exception this time. I have all kinds of high end binos; Swar, Optolypth, Zeiss but Steiner is the best in value and performance. I do a lot of low light huntings and HX15x56 is the best.

I've owned 10X50 Night hunter for over 15 years and very pleased with them, however, they are starting to fog and the external coating is deteriorating. Is the night vision as remarkable for the HX 15X56?

Asked by: texasmaverick
Yes the low light capabilities of the HX series are definitely on par with the venerable Night Hunter. We are happy to service your Night Hunter binoculars. http://www.steiner-optics.com/product-warranties

1. What is the closest vewing distance.  2. How are they adjusted and does each eye have to be adjusted for each distance. 3. I am using on land but i have friends buying the marine 10x50 which I think allows a lot more light in to the eye. Better or not?

Asked by: Tom 1
1. 8 feet 2. The center focus wheel focuses both barrels in tandem, while the left eyepiece is independently adjustable for diopter 3. 'better' is a relative term. The MM1050 are a porro prism design with the advantage of independently adjustable eyepieces (Sports-Auto-Focus) with a general high-contrast coating. The HX on the other hand, is a roof-prism binocular with a typical center-focus wheel, and high definition optics optimized for use while hunting.

How much eye relief is there? When were these binoculars first sold?

Asked by: tvs1
The HX series of binoculars were announced for 2016, the 15x model has not yet been released for sale to the public. The eye relief is <1.5", and the eyecups can be twisted up or down to accomodate the best field of view

Which binoculars have both Eye adjustments? I have an eye disease which makes both eyes extremely different on Adjustments  my left eye is the worst..  The Optics guy at Sportsmans warehouse in twin falls was telling me I needed to check out your website.

Asked by: Laytn
You will be looking for Porro prism binoculars with the Sports-Auto-Focus feature. They can be found in the Military, Marine, and Military*Marine lines.
