When it comes to the best of the binoculars that we have reviewed here, it is hard to choose a favorite. The Nikon is great value for money and perfect as a starter set.
The Zeiss and the Swarovski are about the same price and offer fairly similar features and the same high-precision European manufacture. They are perfect for the enthusiast who wants more out of their binoculars.
If you are looking for a general, affordable pair of glasses, the Nikon wins on sheer versatility. But don’t count out the Bushnell’s if you are an avid theater-lover. They offer a lot of punch for the price.
