Review on 🔭 VANGUARD Endeavor ED 10x42 Binoculars, Enhanced with ED Glass, Waterproof/Fogproof, in Black (Model ENDEAVOR ED 1042) by Justin Ewing

Bought a pair of 8x42s everything is great! The image is sharp and the focus wheel works smoothly, apart from some faint grinding/popping noises when turned fully counter-clockwise, which doesn't really bother me. I later decided to buy an extra pair at a higher 10x42 magnification. The binoculars came out of a plastic bag (unlike the first) with stains on the optics. When trying it out, I heard and felt a loud grinding noise when turning the focus wheel. I immediately sent them back and ordered a replacement. The replacement came with a quieter focus wheel, but still with some ticking/grinding noises (which I could stomach). Once I entered the field to watch the birds and trees in the distance, I couldn't focus on anything with the same satisfaction as I could with the 8x42. I've tried several times to adjust the right eyepiece to my eyesight, but to no avail. After a while I got a headache from the blurry images and gave up. I wasn't impressed with their quality control. If you read more reviews they have terrible customer service. Instead of sending it to them I would rather go back through Amazon and not deal with Vangaurd anymore. Wouldn't recommend it. Write to me if you have any questions.
