I accidentally posted the review in the wrong spot🤦 So I guess I’ll just post what I typed there here.

You could probably find someone to argue that one of these other binoculars is their favorite. They are all very close. Even comparing side-by-side you may not readily notice the difference.

A few months ago a friend and I had the opportunity to demo the Nikon Monarch 7 8x30 alongside other 8x32 models including the Zeiss Terra ED, Vanguard Endeavor II, Leopold Mojave, Meopta Meostar, Vortex Viper, a Kowa model as well as a Nikon Monarch 7 10x30 side by side.The resolution on the edges is also better with M HG. As an extension of the clarity, they both have about 75% of the FOV, but the last 25 percent of M HG are not so blurred compared to the center, still being able to discern details. But at M 7, the difference in clarity between the center area and the edges (last 25%) is very very big, on the edges you can practically no longer discern any detail.

Binoculars with specs outside of certain ranges will not be good for bird watching, even if they are otherwise excellent binoculars. Here is my opinion after owning and using this binocular for a full year and doing additional research: Namely, these are the Vortex Viper HD, Zeiss Terra ED, the Hawke Frontier ED X, and the Bushnell Forge, all 8x42 binoculars.
