    • Great optics and construction for the money
Size: 8x42
These are the best pair of binoculars that I have tried within this price range... In terms of "value", I give the Athlon Midas 5 stars. I have "tested" the Nikon M7 side-by-side with the Athlon Midas and found only relatively slight difference in optical quality (brightness, clarity, color trueness), and I find the Midas to be more comfortable against my eyes. These binoculars also feel very sturdy/well-built. Although I do not use binoculars in my profession, I use them nearly everyday/night to observe wildlife and celestial objects. Within this price range, I have not experienced a finer pair of binoculars (though there may be some out there that I have not tried). Having praised the product for quality and value, I will say that the pair that I received was defective... The diopter ring would not turn no matter how hard I cranked on it. I called Athlon to report the problem, they asked me to send them to their facility in KS, they returned them to me in perfect working condition with about 10 days. Note that they have an excellent warranty. Final note: I also have a pair of Zeiss, and another pair of Nikon binoculars that are in the $1000 price range... If you want a really exceptional pair of binoculars, spend a thousand dollars; but if you are OK with a really good pair of binoculars, and don't want to spend more than $300 or so, I don't think you need to look any farther than these Athlon's. ... show more

    • Oh my God, Oh my God incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Size: 8x42
I was going to buy a Athlon Cronus UHD for $499 on Amazon (not G2). The $499 was a great price. Then while researching binoculars I came across a multi-binocular review that included the Athlon Midas G2 UHD. Not only did the Midas win the review of binoculars under $300 but it won the review of binoculars under $500. So I purchased the Midas on Amazon for $245.60. 8 x 42. The good: They were delivered the very next day from my order, yeah! I open the packaging and looked out my back yard. I wear glasses so binoculars have been a problem for me in the past. I started screaming for my wife to come take a look. Image so clear, I could see the paint pealing off my neighbor's deck 3 houses down. My wife had a dying plant left over from her garden and I focused in and I could easily see the veins of the plant. Incredible, light weight, clear, great eye relief for eyeglass wearers, beautiful vision. Unbelievable! Lifetime warranty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bad: My wife said she had to have them for birding and spying on the neighborhood and boy she can with these. So I had to spend another $245.60 the same day I received them so we would both have a pair. The ugly: My neighbor's pealing deck. Really, nothing ugly about the value for money, image, size, weight, warranty, focusability. I may have to buy 2 more for my son's birthdays. Incredible value that will not likely last. Summary, you will love these. My wife and I sure do. I am pumped over this purchase! ... show more

    • Athlon Optics- super customer service
Size: 8x42
It has been a few years since I bought the 8x42 Midas G2 UHD, and I seldom write review, but I felt compelled to share a very positive customer service experience when I recently called for a replacement case ,and decided should also write a review. First off I’m no binocular expert but read lots of reviews before finally deciding on the purchase in 2021 and have been happy with the optical quality , especially the near an quick focus, field of view, and eye relief . They’ve held up well, used them for bird watching , airshows, stargazing, general nature & outdoor activity, hot ,cold, humid and rainy conditions never fogged up. Sure there may be better choices than an 8x42 for some of the specific application, but for portability, price point and quality, IMHO the Athlon Midas hit the mark for all my purposes and they have served me well. And back to customer service – sent an email , said I lost the case on a recent trip ,could I purchase a new case , and no question asked they offered to mail me a new case. They even scheduled the delivery so that they wouldn’t arrive while I was still away. Thank you Sam H at Athlon Optics ... show more

    • Best pair of binoculars I have ever owned.
Size: 8x42
The image from these binoculars is incredibly clear, crisp, and bright. The adjustable diopter is very precise and I was able to quite easily account for my right eye being quite different from my left. 8x magnification is definitely enough, and the wide field of view is very convenient and helpful. In fact these binoculars are so clear and so well calibrated that when Jupiter and Saturn were out last night, I could see Jupiter's moons around the planet and I could just see the band of darkness where Saturn's rings crossed over the reflective planet. These are absolutely incredible, they're light and convenient and come in a great carrying case, have great lens caps that stay attached to the objective lenses, and the twist up eyecups have the perfect settings for me. I have had them out in multiple weather conditions without the slightest hint of them fogging up. Also, the neck strap is sturdy and comfortable, and has so far shown no sign of coming loose from the bins' housing. Absolutely fantastic pair of binoculars. If you can afford them, get these. ... show more

    • Great value
Size: 8x42
These have proven to be easy to use with sharp image which is perfect for bird watching. We used them at the beach and they did not fog when going from cold condo to hot, humid outdoors. The lens would fog, but the interior would not. They are relatively light and well armored. I consider them a great value when compared to other brands. My son-in-law liked them so much he ordered a pair. He opted for the 50s which have a smaller field of view, but are just a compact and light. ... show more

    • Very sharp, clear image.
Size: 8x42
Sharp clear image. Easy distance adjustment. Close focus is good. Good field of view. My usual pair is zeiss 7x42 and these don't reach that quality , but excellent for the price and I'm enjoying them. I gave only 4 stars as they are a little heavy, but that might not bother many people.
