Top 5 General Purpose Binoculars You Can Buy!

General purpose binoculars are becoming increasingly popular among hikers and wildlife watchers alike because of their perfect combination of magnification and clarity. The best binoculars offer a wide field of view, along with great magnification, in a light weight chassis that’s easy to grip and carry around. Looking at that criterion, we’ve compiled a list of 5 of the best binoculars you can find on the market right now in terms of value for money.


5. Nikon Aculon 8X42 Binoculars

Priced between $270 and $350, the Nikon Aculon 8X42 comes in at number five. Made with very durable, lightweight materials, they are designed to be perfect for hunting or wildlife watching. They are built to last and offer 8x magnification and brightness with the 42mm objective lens and Bak4 Porro prism system. The lightweight chassis is designed to be sleek and compact so it’s easy to store and carry around, making it ideal for general purpose use as well.

4. Bushnell 7X50 H2O Porro Binoculars

The Bushnell 7X50 H2O Porro binoculars are priced between $250 and $300, and come in a very smooth chassis designed for maximum grip and comfort during use. Not only do they have the Porro prism system, they also feature 50mm objective lenses and 7x optical zoom. Throw in the rubberized armor, textured to improve grip, and superior O-ring seals, they’re great for use in the rain or around water. They are also filled with nitrogen so fogging isn’t a problem either. This makes them great for all weather use, and even for boating or whale watching.

3. Bushnell 20X50 Powerview Binoculars

Costing around $260 to $320, the Bushnell 20X50 Powerview binoculars are the most powerful pair Bushnell is offering. Great for long range bird and wildlife watching, and specially good at tracking fast moving objects because of its InstaFocus feature, these are the best binoculars you can find in this price range if you’re looking for something with high magnification. Anti-reflective coating on the optics ensures even better clarity than the 50mm lens normally offers, making images even crisper.

2. Olympus 10X50 DPS I Binoculars

The Olympus 10X50 DPS I, priced between $225 and $320, are literally some of the best binoculars you can find in this price range. They come with powerful 10x magnification and a superior, wide angle, fully multi-coated, 50mm lens and the Porro prism system. This makes them great for use in very low light as well. The chassis comes with a sleek black, easy to grip rubber coating that makes them very easy to hold and grip, making them great for outdoor and hiking use as well.

1. Bushnell 10X42 Powerview Binoculars

One of the best binoculars you can buy, the Bushnell 10X42 Powerview cost around $240 to $320. They come in a very durable, very lightweight and compact chassis that doesn’t just look good, it feels great to hold because of the non-slip rubber coating on the body. The optics include BAK-7 42mm multicoated lenses that offer excellent clarity. They’re also weather resistant, making them perfect for use in the great outdoors. It’s no wonder why they are one of the world’s bestselling binoculars.
