HawkeFrontier ED X

So, I'm not a binoculars geek who's comparing everything to the highest end $3000 binoculars here. I'm just a regular dude who likes to look through binoculars once in a while for no special reason. I read all the reviews and these were described as among the best "entry level" binoculars, as in, the low end of "serious" binoculars. So I guess they are that. What I can tell you is they're the best ones I've ever looked through. They have that well-engineered feel to them, they're easy to focus, nice wide field of view, very bright,very clear, they're powerful, a steady hand helps. It's hard to imagine binoculars getting very much better. It must be like wine, where only the true connoisseurs can tell the difference between the really good and the truly great. For any normal person, yeah, these will do you. They're dang nice. They're super nice. They're nicer than the ones your friends have.

After doing a lot of research and watching You Tube videos over a number off weeks I finally settled on 8x32 Hawk binoculars. It’s definitely better to buy 8x magnification to reduce or mitigate the problem of image shake. This was a great purchase even though a bit pricey but the extra cost is worth it . Anyone looking for a great pair of Binoculars these are a great choice. The clarity of image is spectacular made amazing by ED glass and the fact they are waterproof helps for longevity of the product. I have no regrets so if your looking for a great pair off binoculars these are a great choice you have been warned . Worth 5 star rating

I had my eye on these for quite a while. The image quality is really good and with the having low dispersion glass the image has very little colour fringing and chromatic aboration. The image that you get is bright and crisp and at this price point (£400 at the time of buying) is very good and matches higher end binoculars.If you are wondering whether to buy them or not I would go for it. The only downside is they are a little heavy but the image quality makes up for it

Thanks to roof prisms - this is a compact, solid pair of bins - feel well made. Some fringing is evident at the edges of the field of view but centre of field is pin sharp; didn't feel need to spend more for an APO setup.

Excellent value and great weight, which was important for me. Really sharp images. Would recommend

I wasn't sure whether they were worth it, but after trying them on my recent holiday, I am very happy with them. They are brighter than I expected and thus it gives you a clearer view. I asked a swarovski user to give them a try and she was impressed with them. The only thing is the strap, after two weeks is looking a bit shabby.

I bought the 8x32 Frontier ED X model as I wanted something slightly lighter and less bulky than a 42mm pair. There are plenty of glowing reviews out there about this series - they have a magnesium body fully multicoated, ED glass, twist up eyecups and superficially look and feel like top-end premium binoculars. They give a nice bright image, especially for their size and there is minimal distortion/aberration. OK, hold them up against some £2k European made binoculars and you will see a difference but there is nothing wrong with these and they are a delight to use. My only two gripes would be the objective and ocular lens covers are not great and the carrying case, whilst a nicely made shell type, is quite bulky and large enough I reckon to accommodate the next size up. For your money, these will be hard to beat and I have heard that Hawke have great service and warranty, should you need it.

Great bins for this price pointYou can’t go wrong
