How much should I spend on binoculars?

Buy the best quality binoculars you can afford. This will allow you to spend the greatest possible time with your binoculars at your eyes instead of dangling from your neck, or worse, left at home. Poor quality binoculars lead to eyestrain, headaches, and are just not much fun to use for any length of time. In the long run, you’ll probably save money if you initially buy better quality binoculars and avoid trading up later. In the meantime, you’ll see so much more–so much better! Talk to one of us on the sales team at Eagle Optics. Let us know your price range. We can recommend a pair of binoculars that will fit your hobby and your budget!
