With a well-earned reputation for pushing the limits of optical performance, the Razor HDs step up and out on other binoculars in their class.

Adjust Eyecups & IPD

Enjoy comfortable viewing even if you wear eyeglasses. Simply twist the eyecups up or down to see the full field of view. Keep the eyecups fully extended if you aren’t wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.

The IPD (interpupillary distance) is the distance between the centers of the left and right pupil. Your binocular also has an IPD. To see a single image free of shading, rotate your binocular until its IPD aligns with your eyes.

Excellent product quality
I was a little bit hesitant to to go for the $1,000 mark, since there seems to be a gap between novice ($150-$500) and expert variants ($1,500-$3,500). The novice binoculars are "great quality for this price" and the expert variants "best quality for top money". I wanted intermediate binoculars and found these to be at the sweet spot between optical quality, weight, product value, and pricing.The Razors exhibit a HD roof prism design for their lenses - with the same glass as the Vipers. However, Vortex lists three distinct enhancements:1. APO System Index-matched lenses correct color across the entire visual spectrum.2. Plasma Tech Coating application process provides unparalleled coating durability and performance.3. Frame Base Open hinge magnesium chasis forms a strong, lightweight, and ergonomic design.To make another comparison with the Vortex portfolio: The Razors HD are everything the Razors UHD offer, except for the UHD glass, but for less than half of the price tag.In my opinion, both the spherical aberration (optical distortions) and the chromatic aberration (color fringes) are minimal in the HD version and on par with the expert variants (UHD). That being said: You really need to extend the eyecups to place your vision up into the optimal optical path (people with glasses need to keep the eyecups down).I tried to take a photo with my iPhone, which hardly does the binoculars any justice - you really got to get your own eyes on a pair to see the quality: Only about 50% area from the center of the photo is what you actually use to produce your field of view. The European Starlings were about 50 ft (15 m) away. The black-tailed prairie dog was about 80 ft (25 m) away. And yes: there's humans that throw trash out of their car window, because someone told them that they're earth's dominant species.When it comes to close distances, you can even focus just in front of your feet (as close as 5 ft) and see the grass magnified and in all detail! Great for hikes where a mammal or bird might be just above your head near the trail!What's in the box? - More than explicidly listed, surprisingly:- Vortex Optics Glasspak Binocular Harness ($30)- Vortex Optics Archer's Binocular Strap ($20)- Vortex Optics Binocular Caps, bottom ($10)- Vortex Optics Binocular Rainguards, top ($10)- Vortex Optics Lens Cleaning Cloth ($10)- Vortex Optics Harness Strap Connector Set ($5)There's really no need to buy a Vortex Binocular Harness Strap or the Harness Strap Connector Set, as suggested by Amazon. However, I would suggest to get a Vortex Optics Lens Cleaning Pen or similar to remove dust and dirt before using any cleaning cloth. The lens coating is protecting the glass to a certain extend, but mechanical force (granite or quartz particle smeared over the surface) in never helping optics.If you're wondering why the binocular rainguards have a split loop on the right hand side - it's to quickly turn the cover aside (rip the nylon band away and turn the cover to the left hand side) without the need to find a pocket for storage!TL:DRThe Razors HD are excellent in both product quality and optical performance. Best value for $1,000!
