Stunning clarity
Have a lot of binoculars for different purposes but for clarity and contrast these are in a class of their own. I now use these in preference to my bigger, heavier and theoretically superior binoculars.
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Compact
- Build quality
Cons:
- Battery life

Great Binoculars
I made a study of binoculars at a price point of up to $500. I found these comparable in brightness, clarity, and ergonomic design to the Zeiss Terra, at a significantly lower price, particularly when purchased from Wal-Mart.

Nikon Monarch 5 Binoculars
Simply stunning binoculars. Our most popular binoculars especially for bird watchers. The clarity and sharpness is amazing.

Totally Pleased
First quality pair I've owned. Wife game them to me for Christmas in 2013. Took the place of a 50-year old no name brand with was pretty good, but the Nikon kicks them in the knees. Typical targets are 200 - 300 yards away and they do everything I'd want.
Pros:
- Very bright and sharp optics
- Easy to focus
- A true joy to use
Cons:
- Lens caps don't stay on as well as I'd like
- Center pivot barely makes the eye pieces wide enough for me

Pros:

Cons:

Nikon Monarch 5 8x42
Good but not great. The Nikon Monarch 5 binoculars are among the better models in this price range (Est. $300). However, they don't compete with top-of-the-line brands. One review on BirdWatching-Bliss.com states, "Only in a direct comparison with the top-priced binoculars could our reviewers...
