Quality binocs at a cost - Vortex Diamondback HD 8x32mm Roof Prism Binoculars

These are my first quality binocs, so they are compared to $30-50 pairs. The image is wonderfully clear. My biggest complaint is that they are not comfortable to use. Literally, they just don't feel nice against the face and eyes. They just feel hard and flat, not well contoured. They are also quite heavy. The weight was listed in the description, but I didn't realize what that would feel like.
