  • The Vortex Diamondback HD Binoculars are the most popular model from Vortex Optics. I review them and see if they live up to the hype.

    Thanks for the review! This has been my first “real” set of binos. After a year of use I’m still really satisfied with them

    Those binoculars are exactly what I use for birding. No complaints. I would recommend them as well.

    I own the Vortex DB HD 42's and they are very good. I am more of a novice birder. The quality of the design and manufacturing make them a delight to use. I researched a number of different brands and chose Vortex. For all the reasons you mentioned. Excellent video. Love you guys!

    This is what my wife and I both use (10x42) and are so happy with them. We wouldn't ever change brands. The warranty is incredible.

    This is the first "real" pair I purchased and I enjoy them a lot. Work well with glasses too.

    I got a pair of these for my GF, and she loves them. They do work great... But I just use my 800mm + crop body, for a 1280mm equivalent :)

    Thanks. I have the Celestron Nature DX 8x42, which are decent, but was thinking about the Vortex Diamondback HD 10x50 as another option.

    The Vortex warranty is outstanding. Yep, they are a great value (performance/dollar) but the warranty is what makes Vortex outstanding.

      Really? Other than to recoup several hundred $, I'm not sure why you'd do that. I do have the 10x42 DB's and really like them. I once had a pair of Swarovski 10x42 EL's when they initially came out and they were amazing. They were stolen. Would I trade these DB's for that pair of EL's...YOU BETCHA!

      You must be blind! I tested Vortex Razor HDs and the Zeiss Conquest HDs. The Zeiss blew away the Vortex. Vortex optics are not good! They’re the definition of mediocrity!

      We’ll be doing a comprehensive scope buyer’s guide vid soon. Vortex scopes are solid though! Celestron seems solid as well and Swarovski, but they’re probably the most expensive.

    I controversially prefer the Celestron Nature ED binoculars because they are cheaper and they work better from my experience with the two optics.
