High quality optics, perfect size and weight. Optically as good as binoculars selling for twice the price.

Game changer! Amazing optics for the price point, and excellent customer service. Mine arrived with a cracked lens and was immediately replaced with its equivalent. These are one of my favorite outdoor toys! I absolutely love them and kick myself whenever I leave them at home.

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.

Great color, clarity, sharpness, FOV for bird watching (or anything else you use them for.) More lightweight than many. Easy to adjust from naked eye to glasses and either side can be easily adjusted for differences in vision when using naked eye. Argon purged so they rarely fog up (even in rain) and the UHD glass makes them clearer and sharper. The lifetime "no fault" repair transferable warranty really pushed them to the top of my short list. Great binos, you won't be disappointed!

Superb optics - bright and clear right to the edges. Excellent build quality.Probably as good or better optics than my uncle’s $2000 pair of European glass

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

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!
