Some very expensive and these Athlon gave me the best glass for the money. The image is crisp and very clear. Took them to Alaska on a cruise and they were amazing. They will be going hunting with me this year, my old pare were only 6x and not very clear at all. These will work great, I’m sure. A little heavy, but not bad. Easy focus, ideal for sight seeing. Good lens caps and a good neck strap as well. I’m very happy with my purchase. Review: Fantastic value for the money. - I have recently become an 'addict' of Athlon binoculars. The Neos G2 10x42 HD is my most recent acquisition for USD 105 (incl. shipping and import). I previously bought and still use the first generation composite bodied Argos 8x34 HD (USD 164 incl. shipping and import), the magnesium alloy Midas G2 8x42 UHD (USD 363 incl. shipping and import), and the magnesium alloy Cronus G2 10x42 UHD (USD 655 incl. shipping and import). (Today, some of these prices are significantly lower.) It is not quite fair to compare between 8x and 10x magnification, the above given price progression reflects my personal preference. It is true that I mostly use the two 8x Argos and Midas -- because I can hand-hold them. However, the Cronus on a tripod is supreme. So why did I buy the "cheap" Neos? Primarily because of curiosity and because the Neos was so affordable. To a lesser extent, I was influenced by the very positive customer reviews. The 5 stars I gave to Neos do not reflect their performance compared to my Cronus -- they reflect my opinion of their value of the "ridiculously good optics" for the price. The Cronus are worth the more than six-fold price to me, because I can afford it -- not because I see 6 times better through them. I am not going to repeat the freely available technical data. Instead, I mention the few things that caught my attention. The field (or angle) of view of the Neos 10x42 is specified as 5.8 degrees. This is on the narrow side compared to 8.1 degrees of Midas, but it does not seem restrictive to my eyes in any way. The clarity and sharpness in the middle of the view is of very high quality. The close focus distance of my copy is 4.5 meters -- a little longer than I expected. (For example, my Midas focuses down to 1.5 meters!) The only negative thing I found is the plastic focusing knob of Neos. With dry hands in cold weather, it feels a little slippery -- the almost frictionless focusing knob of the Argos has spoiled me. But this is really nit-picking. On the positive side, the Neos is lightweight compared to Cronus: 650 grams against 790 grams. Obviously, I do not need the Neos if I keep the Cronus. I will not give up my Cronus. So, my son is very happy with the Neos in his work in nature reserves. He has no problem hand-holding 10x binoculars and prefers them over the 8x magnification. ## Features - BaK4 GLASS PRISMS reflect more light to your eyes which will give you brighter and sharper image. - MULTICOATED OPTICS effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses - LONG EYE RELIEF can be particularly important for eyeglass wearers because longer eye relief allows them to still see the entire field of view. - TWIST-UP EYECUPS with intermediate stops allow you to set the eyecups to the ideal eye relief for you eyes - WATERPROOF to protect the binocular in the harshest weather conditions or if accidentally submerged underwater ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B089QSWKQD | | Best Sellers Rank | #407 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #174 in Binoculars | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (322) | | Date First Available | June 5, 2020 | | Department | unisex-adult | | Item Weight | 1.31 pounds | | Item model number | 116009 | | Manufacturer | Athlon Optics | | Product Dimensions | 5.9 x 4.9 x 2 inches | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Athlon Optics - **Magnification Maximum:** 10 x - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 42 Millimeters - **Special Feature:** Fog Proof ## Images ![Athlon Optics 10x42 Neos G2 HD Binoculars with Eye Relief for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81djXvRft6L.jpg) ![Athlon Optics 10x42 Neos G2 HD Binoculars with Eye Relief for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813rV920bDL.jpg) ![Athlon Optics 10x42 Neos G2 HD Binoculars with Eye Relief for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bzfhm1zsL.jpg) ![Athlon Optics 10x42 Neos G2 HD Binoculars with Eye Relief for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716DQYt98CL.jpg) ![Athlon Optics 10x42 Neos G2 HD Binoculars with Eye Relief for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uYM0VwFSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: where are they made assembled?** A: China **Q: What’s Included in the box for model 116009?** A: I think it included, at minimum, a carrying case and attached caps/covers for lens and eye piece. That was 2-3 years ago. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great binoculars, highly recommended *by B***N on June 21, 2025* Great binoculars, I checked out a lot of brands.

The clarity is excellent and crisp. Ease of use is excellent when dialing in the focus. Visual range is excellent. Much more Lightweight than another pair I bought that was the old fashioned style with double prism lenses. I added my binocular's harness to this pair and birding just got better. Definitely the right price point for an amateur birder like me but will also be a good visibility range for my African safari later this year. ## Frequently Bought Together - Athlon Optics 10x42 Neos G2 HD Binoculars with Eye Relief for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Athlon Optics Talos 20-60x80 Spotter Scope - Durable Outdoor Equipment for Hunting, Shooting Targets & Bird Watching - Spotting Scope Perfect Addition to Hunting Accessories --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/222463024-athlon-optics-10x42-neos-g2-hd-binoculars-with-eye-relief](https://www.desertcart.us/products/222463024-athlon-optics-10x42-neos-g2-hd-binoculars-with-eye-relief) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
