Midas UHD 8x42

I absolutely love the Athlon Optics 8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars! The clarity is outstanding — the ED glass really makes a difference, giving me crisp, bright images even in lower light. They feel solid and well-built without being too heavy, and the focus wheel is smooth and easy to adjust. They’re perfect for all kinds of use, but honestly… they’re extra great for checking out the neighborhood! 😉 The wide field of view makes it easy to spot details, and the image is sharp edge-to-edge. Comfortable, high-powered, and excellent quality for the price. Highly recommend!

This is the second pair of good quality binoculars that I have bought. I find them to be clear and bright with good color quality. They are more compact than my others of comparable quality because of the in line mirrors rather than side placed mirrors. . For the price they are a very good value.

I’m the type that browses back and forth between products before I choose because I want to be sure what I buy will meet my expectations, has good longevity and lastly, good value. I mostly use bins for birding, beach trips, the Zoo, and some hunting in the Northwest. I tried out many bins at retail stores over the last few months, as well as reading about each one I had interest in. Once I felt like I had gathered enough info I narrowed it down to these Athlon 8x42 or the Vortex Viper 8x42. I wanted something compact, crystal clear, and powerful enough for most of my outdoor needs. I want to note that Athlon and Vortex have very similar warranties, materials, and are both made in China. I went ahead and purchased the Athlon 8x42 after not really being impressed with the Vortex Viper 8x42. I have to tell you they are every bit as clear and then some compared to 500.00 to 800.00 bins from Vortex, Leupold and a number of other brands. They exceeded the quality of the Vortex viper 8x42 I compared them too for almost half the price. I also felt these were a closer match clarity wise to the vortex Razor 8x42. You can clearly see with good detail at 500 yards in open space. You can use these with very little outdoor light too. Magnification wise if you need to see any further than 500 yards you’d be better going with the 10x42 or 10x50. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these over the two brands above, and am very happy with the value for the dollar. I also purchased Athlon’s Ares 15x45x65 spotting scope. It too has the same clarity and quality along with some excellent features and cool extras you can add to it for shooting or sighting in your rifle at longer distances. Athlon has found a long time customer in me for sure.

Super great optics in every situation. After a week I've seen no color oddities or blurry edges, and I'm thrilled with this purchase. The quality is so good I don't really think about the details of the view, I just enjoy every moment. Feels great in the hand and is very attractive too. All of the pictures of it in the advertisement made it look a little bit cheap and corny in my opinion, and I was a little bit worried about it. But when I opened the box and took it out of the wrapper I was very pleasantly surprised. It is much more attractive in person. It is very sturdy in the hand and has the immediate feel of quality. The weight is in the sweet spot. I don't like very heavy glasses, neither do I like lightweight setups that cut corners in quality of materials. The weight is moderate and the balance is wonderful. It's no wonder the reviews are so stellar. Buy with confidence and get a nice strap. The one it comes with is adequate, sure, but just doesn't do it justice.

These are great binos. I’ve been using them almost daily for the past couple years. I mainly use them to bird. The weight is good. The eye relief is good. The clarity is great and a definite upgrade from the cheaper neos model.

Wow they are making beautiful binos for affordable prices these days. I absolutely love these things. Good size, weight, image, controls, etc. But do your shopping: I initially bought them here on a 25%-off Black Frauday deal (see what I did there? ;) and then found them for cheaper (and not even on sale) on another website. I asked if they would price-match but they said no, that their prices are fixed by Athlon, so I returned them. The other pair arrived in a cheap cardboard box as opposed to this fancy one with magnetic lid, but why would I want to pay more for a nicer cardboard box - that's laughable.

Bought the 8x42 binoculars. Aesthetic design, shape and color. Easy handling and focusing. Fairly light weight. Clear and sharp detailed views of object, nature, birds and animals with wide angle. Very happy in choosing this product.

Very good! The image is very clear and it’s super handy to adjust.
