## Description

The Diamondback HD delivers a rock-solid optic that optically punches high above its class.

Review: Awesome 8x32 - These are sweet. I have had the same model but 10x50 for the past year, for glassing my property, and I love them. I got these 8x32 for hunting. They are a great size and weight for the purpose, but what blows me away is they are way better than the 10x50! Everything in the picture is so much more crisp. FOV is so much better, as expected. Light transmission in cloudy evening is the same. Great binos.
Review: Amazing quality for the price - Why did you pick this product vs others?: A bird watching report said the 8x28 were a best quality / value for smaller binoculars. I went from a $30 pair of binoculars to these and the difference is amazing. I got the 8x32 pair because it wasn’t much more and I wanted a little bit more light and since I don’t use them often I figured portability doesn’t matter but they’re still very portable. I don’t use binoculars very often but I have to say I’m blown away by the quality of these versus a cheaper pair. They also come in a decent case. For any eyeglass people, no need to take your glasses off with these there’s no field of view loss looking through a normal pair of glasses. Image quality: Fantastic, no noticeable CA, or distortion. Colors and sharpness are incredibly crisp. This is coming from someone that takes semi professional bird pictures, the optics in these are solid for the price. Value for money: I’m not an expert on what binoculars should cost but, given the excellent objects and I feel expensive frankly mostly metal construction… I feel like this is a solid deal.

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nothing short of great glass from Vortex!
*by T***R on November 19, 2025*

Amazing set of optics. For me, they were a little bit pricey but if you look at these compared to the world of optics as a mid range budget option especially on sale for $225, these are just amazing. Very clear glass with all the adjustability and functionality you’ll ever need and the carrying case is an awesome bonus. I can differentiate a spike from a doe at over 250 yards out early morning no issue with the 12x50’s. Photos through glass do not give an accurate depiction, everything was much larger and clearer when looking through your own eyes compared to pictures I could get through them with an iphone camera which ranged from 25-100 yards shown. These are also very durable I dropped them probably 5 times just in a weekend hunting trip and survived perfectly fine sitting on the dash of a 4x4 being zigged and zagged all around on the dirt roads. I mean it’s vortex, everyone knows they make quality.
