These binos are top class they are so nice in the hand and the glass is amazing the only glass i would compare it to would be some swaro's or some ziess etc.. they are well worth the money.

They feel great; look great and the clarity of the glass is amazing

they are made in china but the quality is good so fear not; I would prefere if they were made in japan

They work great and like the other reviewer said I also chose the 8 instead of the 10 to be able to spot birds and animals easier without the shake. I am usually not still, using them on the go or on my kayak. For this reason they are a perfect fit for me and work great.

Other reviews I have read have rated this series of binoculars quite high. For that reason I purchased a pair ant they have lived up to and exceeded my expectations. They have very clear magnifications in all types of lighting conditions I have used them in thus far.

Binoculars are excellent apart from the neck strap which is uncomfortable. I expected them to arrive the following day with Prime,but they took three days coming from Italy

I was looking for a good clear binos, at a reasonable price. I took a chance with the Monarchs. Best decision I ever made! They are clear and great at dawn and dusk. At that price and quality, you can not beat them.

"This is a great pair of binoculars for the price. The view is very bright they are waterproof comfortable to hold and reasonably lightweight. The only complaint I have is that the quick release lens caps can release a little too quickly.

I love these binoculars. They are very clear and let in a lot of light, even in lower light situations. They are small enough to fit into a small day pack and are not too heavy around the neck.

These binoculars are an excellent choice for birding or general use. The field of view is bright, in fact in shadows or dim light they seem to be at their best. Focus is quick, easy, and there is easy adjustment for fit and vision correction, they are not heavy and have excellent balance.

I love the Nikon Monarch 7 10 x 42, very bright image and good quality. Staff are nice and helpful

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality

Before purchasing my binoculars from B&H I studied many reviews and opinions by birding enthusiasts online and also articles, evaluations, and Best Of lists by national birding organizations/publications and narrowed down my choices to the top 3 in my price range ($400-500).
