How To Choose Binoculars

Choosing binoculars is a two-part process, based as much on what you plan to do with them as on your personal preferences. Consider your main use for the binoculars. What you’ll need from your binoculars varies a lot with how you’ll use them. Take a look at our CR Quick Recommendations to determine the features that will best suit your purposes. Choose between compact and full-sized models. Compact binoculars fit in the palm of your hand, and are a good solution to the bulky size and heavier weights characteristic of full-size binoculars. Both are equal in terms of magnification, image quality, and price. But some people find compacts harder to adjust than full-size binoculars, and if you wear glasses, they can be difficult to align. Other than that, you can choose from among narrow-set, wide-set, and in-line styles. None is better optically than the others; the style you choose is a matter of preference. Decide on what power you need.
