Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

X offers good magnification suitable for most common uses but is much more stable. Wide angle (36mm) makes it easier to hold steady for viewing. Good to 25yds all ammo and 50yds for ammo above 22cal.

Optical clarity is good with appropriate image brightness at most light levels. nice view & grip.

The clarity seems as good as my leica binoculars. Easy to grip with adjustable eyecup for when wearing glasses. Great for anyone who wears glasses and has a very hard time using binoculars. Great value for money at less than $100 per bt.

The clip is not useless at all--once on post, just clip it to belt/pocket/molle and it deploys instantly. During hikes, it fit easily in a fanny pack. It rides in a pocket or in my camelbak hiking or cycling, in a zip-lock baggie to keep the optics cl... Read More

Quality

Love the clarity ease of use and durable construction

Competitiveness

Reasonably priced unit compared to other brands and it has a built in eye cup extender aiding when wearing glasses

My first comparison was late in the day near dusk and and the 10x36 had a noticeably better image

I tried another cheaper brand gosky but the image quality was terrible and i returned it
