I’ve had an opportunity to look through several Endeavor ED binoculars and every time my impressions have been very positive. I wanted to include the 8x42 model into our endurance test but, because of the change of the Polish distributor, I didn’t manage to get that device.

  noticeably truncated exit pupils.

I am happy to find out that these little binoculars have excellent optical qualities. I purchased them for my wife due to their size for theatre and sporting events, thinking they would be fine. I normally use a nearly $3,000 pair of Swarovski's for birdwatching.

Very bright, clear, and compact, well made, excellent binoculars. I can attach the soft case that came with it to carry these binoculars on my belt so they don't bang against the camera hanging around my neck.

Sturdy, well built binoculars

For Bird Watching these are the best binoculars I have ever looked through. I have tested all makes but even the most expensive are no better. I expect they will never need to be replaced by me in my lifetime as the build quality is beautiful.

  Great Picture Quality, Lightweight, Simple Controls

Excellent optical quality. Bought these for bird watching & they don't disappoint. Highly recommended.

Optics, accommodation, focussing are top quality. Colour rendition is very good. They are comfortable and rugged. I would recommend these binoculars as excellent value to anyone.

Bought especially for a recent holiday to the Isle of Man. Used for watching the wildlife on the coastal cliff and on the beach -gave excellent close up on a ringed plover and chicks .. also were good for watching the TT motorbikes!!

After about 1 month of use I find these to be really sharp and easy to use. I like the open bridge design for ergonomics and the focus and diopter wheels both work well. The only minor drawback is that the case is a little bit on the tight side.

I spent a lot of time reading reviews for these binoculars, other 10x binoculars in the Vanguard range, and of their competition. In the end I plumped for these as they seemed as though they'd be as good as competitors up to around the £300 mark.

After many months of searching and reading reviews I eventually purchased a pair of Vanguard ED 10X42 binoculars. The feel and quality is very good, a little heavier than my old pair but that makes them feel like an iPhone (well built and dependable).
