snypex Knight 8X42 D-ED Award Winning Best Wildlife/Hunting Binocular Optics Superior for Birders, Avid Hunters, Law Enforcement, Waterproof/Fogproof /25 Years Warranty

I went online to the BestBinoculars Reviews site and after a thorough research and read of the various brands (all of which looked incredible and very easily pickable) settled on the site award winning and newly upgraded D-ED 8x42's.In short. Fabulous Binoculars. Had a Vanguard Spirit ED 8X42 earlier and thought that was great. The image viewed from the Snypex is just different and the crispness and clarity of it is incredible. Tested it out a few days ago on a walking safari weekend in the Wilderness of Northern India tracking Birds and Mammals and tested it in the twilight hour just post sunset and was seriously impressed with the colour clarity when viewing birds settling in for their roosts for the night. Another huge plus is the wide field of view. Was 330 ft. in my previous binocular and 393ft in this, and straight away makes a difference in finding an animal in the landscape and fast moving birds like flycatchers and warblers in the trees.Feels great and easy to grip in the hands and its thin rubber coating is really good quality since it was comfortable to grip even in 40'C on a half day hike.Moving away from the binocular, would like to personally thank Mr. Sam Shaheen (Owner and Founder of Snypex) for his superb and personally humble service. The Binoculars were received by my friend in New York after I had ordered them online on Amazon.Com from India. I asked my friend to open the case and send me pics. Upon viewing the pics, I realised to my shock that the pair delivered was the Snypex Knight ED 8X42 (Older version from the previous year) and $100 cheaper than the newer upgraded Snypex D-ED 8x42's I had ordered. There are few emotions that can match the panic of "Damn, and What to do" in this case when sitting in a different country far away. I sent a message to the seller company about it, but also asked my friend to contact Snypex, since they were based in New York. Mr. Shaheen answered directly and after receiving the pics of the binoculars, stated to us directly that he would personally replace the binoculars with the newer version I had ordered the following day. My friend was leaving for a 2 week trip across the US the following morning, and thus left the contact and message for the same with her family. Sure enough Mr. Shaheen replaced the pair the following morning personally, and just made the experience of buying these binoculars a whole lot better.Being an owner and so humble in this day and age is a rare trait in the business world and considering their product is spectacular enough on its own, this kind of service leaves a great feel and trust at the end.On a separate note, based on my experience above I would recommend buying the binoculars or their products directly from their website, so as to avoid mistakes and worry in case of anything going wrong with a third party delivery.

The support which is provided by Sam, the owner of Synpex, is awesome. He called me in order to let me know that my originally ordered 8x24 was not available at that time but he provided me with the 8x50 binocular which is the best horse in his stall at the time being. I received it and after first evaluation under home conditions it is already amazing. Both the field area and eye relief are fantastic and in addition to that it has a very good light transmission even at low light conditions. I am sure that this binocular will provide us with a lot of impressive views for our bird watching activities. The neck straps and protective box for the glasses are very sturdy and I am sure they will help to carry and protect the binoculars in a very professional way. Thanks again to Dr. Shaheen for his excellent service!

I've received 3 different pairs of binoculars from this company. The first two were 10x42s, because their 8x42s were damaged in a shipping accident. In both cases, the eye pieces wouldn't extend and lock fully, so I sent them back. Additionally, the lens caps wouldn't stay on and one of them fell off entirely. The owner was cooperative and the glass was good for the price, so I kept returning them. Finally, the 8x42s came in, so I received a pair of those. They were fine for a while-though the lens caps never stayed on, and you couldn't use the case with the strap connected at the same time.But I was willing to overlook all of that, until a month or so ago when i dropped them from about 2 feet and knocked them out of alignment. You might be thinking, well you dropped them and that's on you. And I guess that's a possible interpretation, but I have had a relatively cheap pair of Eagles for 13 years and they've been banged around quite a bit. They've never been knocked out of alignment and, as a bonus, the lens caps work. So I sent this latest pair back (they claim that they have a 25 year warranty). They arrived at Snypex on May 23. About a week later, I emailed to follow up. And then I called and left a message. And then I did it again. Bottom line, I've heard nothing from them since I sent the bins back. I'm not sure what's going on. My guess is that they put all of their eggs into their glass and cut corners on everything else. What they ended up with is a poor product, and now, one with terrible customer service. Let the buyer beware.Update-8/22/19I have clearly had bad luck with these binoculars, but I would like to add that I have been in contact with the owner and he is trying to make it right by sending me a new pair of a different size. Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a bad review of these elsewhere, so I am giving them the benefit of the doubt.

My search for the perfect binocular for me started as soon as I began wearing eyeglasses. From my research I discovered that I need a pair of bins that had a long eye relief. My search ended when I searched for "best binocular with long eye relief"....try it! That search brought me to the BinocularReview website . Far too many details to go into here but the best way for me to describe them is "The Optics are amazing!". The customer service is stellar. I had some questions before my purchase so I called them. To my surprise, the owner/developer answered the phone and was most helpful. You will not be disappointed with your purchase.
