Hawke Endurance ED review

Hawke Endurance ED Binocular

Hawkes Endurance ED range sits at what we’d consider an entry-level price-point for serious birding and wildlife binoculars. For the price, Hawke has managed to pack in a remarkable suite of high-end materials and features into a compact, ergonomic binocular that delivers impressive optical performance across a wide range of conditions, earning it our coveted “Highly Recommended” rating.

Price Range: Mid (€200-€500)

NB. For products made available via other online merchants, we receive a small commission on sales that helps us keep Ireland’s Wildlife running — thanks for your support.

Description

Pros: Crisp, detailed views at a price that’s hard to believe. Packed with premium features you normally only see on much more expensive binoculars. Lightweight and robust thanks to its magnesium alloy chassis.

Cons: Not many… a little softening evident around the field edge, but not noticeable in normal use. Focus wheel has a bit more resistance than I was expecting, but you soon get used to it.

Price: RRP of the 8×42 model reviewed here is €269.99 in Ireland, (GB£189.99), but shop around to find better prices online

Value: Outstanding

Rating: Highly Recommended

With its new Endurance ED range British company Hawke packs an impressive array of high-end features, and great optical performance, into a robust lightweight package that’s comfortable to carry and easy to use. There’s an awful lot to like about the Endurance ED, and very little to criticise at a price that is, quite frankly, unbelievable.

Can you get better optics… yes. Can you get better optics for the price… I’m not so sure.
