HONTRY 10x42 Binoculars with IPX7 Waterproof Protection

Very clear and easily adjusted. Great quality for the price; a nice upgrade from my 30 year old binoculars.

These are directly comparable to the Vortex Triumph in their build & performance. The only significant difference is that Vortex has a lifetime warranty that basically covers anything up to a nuclear attack, and the case that comes with them is way better for carrying binocs in the field. Based on the prices of similar cases sold separately, if you need that buy the Vortex instead. Both this and the Vortex are heavy enough that a harness case is good to have. I modified the case that comes with the Hontry’s to function almost as well as the Vortex one, but the Vortex is better because it’s easier to get the glass in & out of and is big enough so that you can set the eye relief & leave it set. BTW, that eye relief thing is a game changer. I’ve never had binocs that I could use with my glasses and that’s a way cool, super useful feature. One thing I found on the Hontry site when doing my prepurchase comparison is that they are also Nitrogen filled which for some reason isn’t in the description.

These binoculars have a great magnification, however they are pretty heavy. I ended up returning them because of the weight but other than that I think they are a great value for the price.

Great price for these binoculars. They provide a case, covers for all lenses, neck cord/lanyard, and wipe. I’m very happy with how it performs and it claims it’s waterproof.

These Hontry (10x42) easily compete with more expensive binoculars. If you can find these on sale, do not pass over the opportunity to buy a pair of these binos. The optics are bright and clear. I find the me mechanism to focus the left and right eye smooth after I gave each a number of stop to stop turns. Also, the pivot to adjust for wider and narrower eye distance works as it should. I’ve owned these for only a couple of weeks, used them just half a dozen times, and cannot speak for the durability. Overall, I would buy them again.

I love birdwatching, but until now I’ve only had a monocular that I used because really good binoculars were too expensive. Plus, I have a really little face, so my eyes are close together, and some binoculars I’ve tried won’t work for me because I can’t get the eye pieces close enough together to be able to see through them both at the same time (which defeats the “binocular” premise). These Hontry 10x42 binoculars allow me to adjust them to fit my eyes, and they are perfect for birding. They are so clear! They give a very crisp image of whatever you are looking at, and at quite a distance. They come with a carrying case and a strap for the binoculars themselves, along with a cleaning cloth for the lenses. I love that the lens cover over the eye piece is one piece (instead of individual lens covers that can be more easily lost), and the fact that it has a crumple zone between them, so that people like me—who need the eye pieces close together—don’t have to open the binoculars all the way to get the lens cover on. I also love that the lens caps on the other side are attached, so they just pop down when you want to use them—and they actually stay down and don’t retract back up a little to block your view. At the current price (as of this writing) of $64.90, these binoculars are an excellent value for anyone just getting into birdwatching who doesn’t want to invest in a super-expensive pair but wants a clear view of all of those amazing birds our there.

These binoculars offer excellent clarity and performance for the price. The optical system really delivers. The images are sharp, colors are accurate, and they handle low-light conditions better than I expected. The 10x magnification strikes a nice balance between zoom and stability, making them ideal for bird watching and wildlife spotting. I also appreciate the rugged, waterproof design. Knowing they’ll float if dropped in water is a big plus for boating and travel. I appreciate that it comes with a nice storage case that can be worn like a purse, cross-body, or it also has a loop on the back that can be attached to a belt. They could've made it a little bit larger so that you could fit the binoculars in there without them being so snug, but it does the job. Would also be nice to have a small pocket on the front to keep the lens cleaner cloth in. That said, there are a few design quirks worth mentioning. The covers for the front lenses are a bit tricky to get on and off, which can be frustrating if you’re using them frequently. The cover for the eyepiece lenses isn’t attached to the binoculars at all, so you’ll want to keep a close eye on it to avoid losing it. Also, there were no instructions on how to attach the strap. You have to loop it back through the single closure, which took me some trial and error to get the right length and to make sure it would stay put (see my review photos for reference). Overall, these binoculars perform very well and are priced fairly for the quality. With just a few small improvements to the accessories, they’d easily be a 5-star product.

These are interesting binoculars. First of all, the image I see is very crisp. I have a very old pair of 25x binoculars to compare to, and while those old ones work, the image is a bit kind of grainy. These are nice and crisp. They are easy to hold. I do have to hold them a bit away from my eyes to see (perhaps it's wrong, but I'm used to snuggling against the eyecups, but my view becomes distorted if I hold the eyecups up to my face). If you insist on eyecups against your face, you might run into the same problem. They have the usual hinge to adjust for the spacing of your eyeballs and then a focus ring. There's also a diopter ring on the right lens for adjusting between your eyes. I was able to easily use the pair given prior binocular experience. The lens cap has some interesting designs. The rear lens cap is one flexible piece that you can attach to the binocular strap. The front lens caps are attached to the body - you flip them downwards to use the binoculars and then flip them back up to lock in place. I'm a bit concerned about if it's misty / rainy how the water collection on the lens caps is going to go. We'll see. All in all, a nice pair of binoculars ready for wet conditions.

Bonnes jumelles pour le prix. Bonne construction, prise en main, belle image en journée. Concernant le traitement anti reflet multicouches complet annoncé, on est cepandant loin du compte. Une des surfaces des lentilles frontales n'a pas de traitement anti reflets, et les prismes en sont totalement dépourvus. (Reflets blancs sur la photo). Les lentilles des oculaires sont également que partiellement traités. Il ne j'agit donc pas comme énoncé d'une paire de jumelles aux optiques "FMC". Dommage car on perd beaucoup de luminosité en nocturne.

Only had them a couple of days but I must say that these binoculars are shaping up to be the best bins i've ever had so far. Not had had them in the field yet (bird watching) and that will be the real test of how tough and water proof they are. However they have very good clarity, no discernable fringing or colour aberations to be seen. The body of the bins have a textured grip which I like. If you are looking for an entry level or even advanced set of bins then these may be the bins you are looking for. Great value for money

They feel perfect to handle due to the high-quality manufacturing. They also perform very well with a clear high definition view. I highly recommend them. I would recommend getting a 'Hutton' Leather Reporter Bag to carry them in. It is a worthwhile investment.

Good quality and good price. Seem better than some at more than double the price. Very easy to set up and use.

Have been finding these binoculars excellent for all sorts of wildlife, it took some use to get used to them, great quality
