Update: 05/14/25: these binoculars have been used for hundreds of hours birdwatching and they are still going strong. The rubber coating has not grown sticky or worn down significantly, the optics are still clear, defect and fog free and the focus wheel is still on tight. Would still recommend, theyre great budget end birding binoculars. Update 6/9/24: I've owned these binoculars for 6 months now and I still love them. The clarity and sharpness is excellent in all conditions and color is great! They come birding with me at least 3 times a week and they have held up very well and show no signs of wear. The rubber coating, optics and focus knobs all still function like new. I bought these as birding binoculars to replace my cheap $80 pair of of bushnells. The optical quality compared to those is no contest. I also tested the Vanguard binocs against Vortex Diamondback HD 10x50 binoculars and found the Vanguard binocs to be superior, offering lower light dispersion and very little aberration (purple and green) around the edges of whatever you're viewing. I tested these binoculars under multiple conditions including clouds, low-light (dawn), bright light, and in cloudy weather. These binoculars provide excellent clarity and birds and scenery appear bright and vibrant. I've never viewed birds with such depth and clarity through binoculars before. Under all conditions I was able to quickly focus on the details. The binoculars fit nicely in my large hands and the focus wheel is easy to reach. One nice feature is that the right eye diopter can lock in and out of place so you never lose your setting. I picked these binoculars up for $200 new here on Amazon and for that price they are definitely worth it, no question. This was a sale. I'd say they are worth around $300, look for sales!

For the money, I should probably rate these as 4 stars. They have very clear glass, a wide sweet spot, and very nice construction. They are a HUGE improvement over Vanguard's lesser Endeavor's, the ED's (no "2"). But I can only rate them on how well they work with my eyes, and there is still too much chromatic aberration for my tastes. I previously tried, and reviewed, the Vanguard Endeavor ED's, and found them significantly lacking in the CA department (read the review here... http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TVBX1PVQ9KEM/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B005DQG5SC ). If you are interested in a more detailed description of chromatic aberration, read that review. The new and improved ED II's control CA much better, with the yellow's and purple's confined to the outer portions of the glass. It is still, however, fairly bright. It doesn't interfere with the center view, but it's unmistakably there, and noticeable. All assuming, of course, that you are CA sensitive. If you're not CA sensitive, these are probably a good bet.

These binos are an inspiration. Every time I look through these I am amazed by the sparkling clarity and brightness. I haven't owned high end binoculars, but have used older medium and low grade ones. I've also had a lifetime with camera optics, so know what I'm seeing. These are a revelation. Reality looks better through these! Ha ha. I was showing them to a friend and mentioned the price range and what some fancier pieces cost, and his comment was "what could they have that these don't?" In researching I learned a great deal from some reviewing websites, especially a site based in England, and finally honed in on these. It was still an investment, and every time I use them I'm glad I made the purchase. They are incredibly solid feeling, and if there is a weakness it would be their weight. They are in the middle of the field in terms of weight and I do use them in hiking, but for long range journeys I use a smaller pair. These are nicely suited for auto trips and landscape observation near my home. The company seems to have some other good products that I'll check out in the future, especially the line of day packs. These binos are made in China, and the company is in America. There seems to be few quality optics that aren't made in China, Germany, Japan or maybe a couple other countries. I had to consider the price in my decision. I handle these and see that I got the A grade quality for a reasonable price.

Directly to the point, these are really nice binoculars, optically and ergonomically REAL WORLD pleasing in every respect, even through my eyeglasses. I am very particular about image quality and enjoy the sheer pleasure of clearly viewing the natural wonders of nature. Sure, they are not my Swarovski ELs, Zeiss Conquest HDs or even my Pentax DCF WPs... didn't expect them to be, but I still have them with me everywhere, along with one of the others, depending on where and what I am doing. I can't say that about other binos owned in the past. These are comfortable, convenient and in my hands much of the time....filling a definite nitch that others did not. Like you read in other reviews, they are well built, fast focusing, comfortable and, again REAL WORLD satisfying, doing what good binoculars do, and admirably well. With these you definitely get more than you pay for. Call me crazy but I constantly compare the views through these little 8 x 32's with my Swarovski EL 10x50's and Zeiss Conquest HD 8x42's with amazement and no regrets. For me, they serve the purpose for which I purchased them extremely well. It would truly have been a shame not to have discovered these "little brother" buddies to my pack.

I did a fair amount of research and read reviews before I decided on the Vanguard Endeavor ED II. The build quality is very nice and these just feel like a quality product. Very comfortable to use and adjust. The problem is they add a yellowish or greenish quality to the edge of an image. Birds that I know have no yellow color sometimes appear with slightly yellow highlights. Viewing a white lamp post in the bright sunlight appears to have a greenish highlights near the edges. I have several pairs of binoculars and could make comparisons and it stands out with the Vanguards. Disappointed and these will go back. I suspect I got a defective pair but now I'm afraid to try another Vanguard.

I use these for nature viewing, mostly during daylight hours. I have purchased two sets of these. The first set I bought 6 years ago, (paid $100 more than what they are now) and it was spectacular. I took them on a safari and just loved them. They produced a nice 3D zone, they were super sharp and high contrast in the center, and not bad at the edges. I think I might have gotten lucky with that set. I ended up gifting them to another person that didn't have a decent set of binos. So I bought another set of these. The second set, just recently purchased, wasn't quite as good. There are small differences in optical quality between the left and right eyes, so the 3D zone is diminished as compared with my first set (maybe half the depth, and half the field diameter). I'm also left constantly feeling like a minor diopter adjustment is needed but that's not the case. So I think Vanguard isn't able to maintain good quality control at this price point. But frankly, at this price, the optics and the whole package are really hard to beat. I'd give these 5 stars for anyone who definitely can't spend over $300. A little note about 3D zones - I feel like most binoculars under $500 really don't have one (but these do, albeit a small one). To me, a 3D zone is a region in which the focus is so good, there is depth to what your eyes can adapt to within the field of view (this is smaller than the overall field of view, even on super high end binos!), so your brain makes that connection and the image pops into a true immersive 3D scene - which is wonderful. If the image isn't sharp enough, your eyes can't really discern differences in focus for small changes in depth of field, so the only 3D information is by superposition, which is not nearly as enjoyable. Anyway, these binoculars have some great attributes, including a small 3D zone, and are oh so close to being truly great. But the quality control isn't quite there, and I think it's probably unlikely to happen on a set of binoculars at this price. So, in summary, really great binoculars for the price. Worth considering even if your budget is upwards of ~$600.

Great clear image, good durability so far, and really comfortable to look through. I find myself going to them over the really old nikons I also have. I shake a little bit at far distances but the binoculars work spectacularly for my needs. I will say I do get kind of annoyed with the case. It is too small to fit the strap inside of it while attached to the binos, so you have to take it off to make the shoulder strap every time in my experience. Not a huge deal but if im carrying in another pack it is annoying to not be able to just leave the strap on the binos. Also, they are a little heavy. I wish they were sliiiightly lighter then they would be a pair i go to constantly. Overall, great purchase for me though and I am happy with the quality and comfort
