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...
Pros:

Great product. With a few niggles
I bought this product as I was in the market for a top quality binocular. The only thing I dislike is the front eye cups as they are too loose. It's no zeiss but at the price there's nothing better.

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

Awesome Binocs
I bought one pair of the Nikon 8x42 Monarch 5 binoculars a month ago and my wife and I loved them so much we were fighting over them so I just ordered a second pair from B&H!

Nikon Monarch 5 8x42 Binocular
Solid Value! As a beginner birder, upgrading from the Nikon Action Extreme 8x bins, I first noticed a great improvement in weight.

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
