Budget Binoculars
Budget Binoculars under $60
I added budget binoculars to this page so you can choose the right pair of binoculars if you are on a tight budget.
I did a lot of research and added only quality binoculars that have a high rating and customer satisfaction.
This data is based on Amazon customer satisfaction which is a good measure. Because Amazon is the largest ecommerce site operating in online space.
I often buy binoculars to test them out for you. But I can’t buy all binoculars available on the market.
And there is no need to buy all of them if you have an experience in the field.
Testing 1 or 2 binoculars from one manufacturer gives you enough knowledge about the manufacturer.
Quality never differs much within one brand but it may differ between different brands.
Normally I review only quality optics, such as BAK-4, ED, HD or Eco Glass.
BK-7 is inferior to BAK-4, ED, HD or Eco Glass in terms of image quality produced by binoculars.
Since this page is for budget optics I added a couple binoculars with BK-7 prism.
I chose only those that have highest customer satisfaction. This is based on my research and knowledge in the field of optics.
The quality of BK-7 prism binoculars added to this page is still acceptable and you will get fairly quality optics.
If you need any help I can definitely help you choose the right pair within your budget.

About the Author: Adam
We review and recommend quality binoculars so you don't waste your money on useless ones. 
I’m glad I found your website.
You made my shopping so much easier.
I’ve been search for some binoculars I can take to baseball games.
I think the CBoner compact, folding binoculars might be the ones for me.
High powered, 100% customer rating, and under $25 bucks sounds great.
Thanks for providing the comparisons!
Not a bad choice Poppa. Before you purchase I want you to understand that this binocular is not going to be the best pair and the highest quality. Remember that it’s a budget binocular. The quality is acceptable considering the price you pay for.
I didn’t know there were different types of binoculars, it is so good to know, interesting the Quick Focus Binoculars 10×50 Waterproof Wide at such an affordable price and the kid binoculars are super easy to use. what is the difference between binoculars For Stadium, Theatre, Sports Events or For General Use?
For stadiums you better choose wide field of view binoculars with magnification at least 8x or 10x. For theatre 4x magnification is the ideal choice. For general use it can be anything from 8x and up to 12x. If you need something more powerful then magnification 16x is the idea choice in terms power and weight aspect. Binoculars with magnification 16x are powerful enough and at the same time they are lightweight. You can hold them in your hands without a tripod. You can choose one from this list.
While we appreciate very much your advice, we would like to know whether you can be sure about the technical details of the products eg.prism type Bak4 or Bk7.
Hello Janaka!
Which product you want to know about? Here is a post regarding BAK-4 and BK-7 prism. If you need to know more about specific product let me know and I will be happy to help.
Thanks for the response Adam, Can you tell me about Baufut 12×25 & 12×42 above, & in ebay they were mentioned as having vibration reduction? Any thouughts?
As I said in my other comment, this is non brand product. There is no such a thing as vibration reduction in binoculars. There is a specific product line known as image stabilization binoculars. I recommend non brand binoculars ONLY if you are on a very tight budget.
