These are by far the best binoculars I've owned. Not the best of course but in my budget and lots of positive reviews and users on YouTube. The home delivery was awesome as well.

I cannot complain about the quality. I was a bit surprised at the size. I had purchased these from a search for compact binoculars. They are not compact. They are a little smaller than your standard, but they are hardly compact. Aside from that, they are the quality I would expect from Nikon. No regrets on the purchase and I will keep them. But will have to find another pair to through in my bag.

I wanted to upgrade my binoculars, and this was a great choice. I’ve been enjoying them several times a week. They are perfect for birdwatching.

Rock sold binoculars for bird watching.
Very good quality. So good and expensive I almost worry about taking them out on my trips, as opposed to the $40 pair I previously use.

Had to return. Their lenses are great as far as resolution and chromatics. The overall ergonomics feels good. Though the covering material feels oily and loses luster quite fast. I had to buy a different branded binocular that had a harder material for its case.

I was going to purchase a less magnification pair on a cruise line. I am glad I waited until I got home to order this from Best Buy. Better price on sale.

My wife and I decided to buy binoculars just to identify some birds around our home. The binoculars serve our purpose very well and we like them. The only problem that I have with the product is that the eye piece cover does not fit well on the eye pieces. That is the only reason we didn't rate the product excellent.

Very good, better than most similar priced rivals. Waay better than anything less than $200. For non-birder wife or visitor, or spare on a trip if your good bins lost/damaged

A wonderful pair of binoculars for nature watching, sports watching, and even star gazing! We have had many pairs of binoculars, but the Monarch is the cadillac! They fit the hands so well, and the safety features are terrific!!
Highly recommended!!

Great value, Nikon's lifetime warranty, and superb optics. What's not to love? Best binoculars without making the leap to super pricey ones by far!

There is a reason that these binoculars are not cheap. Great optics! No comparison to less expensive models.
