Best Budget Binoculars ; Are $25 Amazon binos worth it

Today we will review the Anthter binos from Amazon and compare them with the Vortex Diamonback. The results may surprise you.
My SD card crapped out on me and I ended up missing some info that I talked about. The Vortex did better at dusk but unfortunately I lost the video of that. There was a noticeable difference but the Anthter still performed really well for only $25. They are a great entry level pair, or a great pair to leave in the truck, deer blind, back porch, etc.

This video helped me more than any I've watched. Clear - concise - easy to understand. Thank you.

Im glad he said that because I though the same . The 200 dollar pair was slightly brighter but both had good focus quality
I would be happy with either

Great test and review. I purchased an expensive pair of Bushnells and water got in them. Was going to cost me too much to send back for warranty so I purchased a cheap pair of Apeman binoculars for $50 and they are actually better than the Bushnells. More $$ don’t always mean better quality.

That totally blew my mind! I didn't think the $25 binos would be that good! Thank you for sharing my friend!

Nice video. Always like to see hands on reviews. Typical of me I always look at the edge of view rather than the centre. The comparison at 3.10 . Look at the right side white edge of the building. The Vortex gives a nice straight line, where the budget one gives some strong barrel distortion. Also look at the green part of the building lower right. With the Vortex it is sharp nearly to the edge, while the budget binocular view looks like a clear smeared grease effect. I don`t deal with either brand.

Your music was way too loud. At times it was difficult to hear what you guys were saying

[massoudpn]

Helpful video but did you find out how harsh this video is with this nerve-racking background music? I have no idea why people like to add background music.

Good video! Seems like nowadays the cheap stuff is getting good and the good stuff is getting cheap! I'm not brand loyal anymore.

[jennifertaylor]

I hope this is the right person of tik tok I met last night. This is happi.... I am benge watching your videos.

Good revue, One set is slightly better than the other but they are not ten times better,
$20 = $200 . . thing is with the cheap ones you're not to bothered about dropping them in the mud or keeping them in a damp rucksack or when someone steals them out your car,
The best binoculars I ever looked through where owned by the R.N.L.I. (make unknown)
To say they were impressive would be the understatement of the year. . .

Great unboxing and review. I have the vortex and love them but may get these for throw around in the truck binos

[commonsense]

Honestly I'm not too surprised since they are both made in China. One has a USA name brand label on it along with a 10x price markup as they typically do. Most people don't realize how cheap stuff from China actually are and how insane the markups are once they have a name brand USA company label on them.

The problem with lots of Amazon binos is that their magnification is usually less than advertised. However, after buying a few pairs of cheapo binos and some mid-range Vortex Diamondbacks recently, I'm convinced that the cheapo pairs are about 90% of what a higher quality set might be. After comparing my cheapo 15x sets to my Vortex 10x, I used a silver sharpie to mark the cheapos as being 8x and 8.5x

I just bought a pair of Adasion 12x42. I think they were $50 and Amazon owed me a refund of $40 from something else so it ended up costing $10. What a score. My buddy has his expensive ones he paid for $200+. They look comparable.

You need to do more videos with the mullet man!!

[IwokeUpInSOMA]

Actually really enjoyed the music, despite it being loud lol. Those riffs were epic haha

[TheEstelf]

Oh thank you for the views. I don't understand why some others youtubers don't put the most important content about binoculars: live test!

[andrewsapp]

Thanks for the review. Looks like they are almost 40 dollars now so I’ll have to wait to see if they go on sale

[Almtyhalfbreed]

3:25 I wish the binoculars name was on side by side. My old natural eyes can't tell the difference just maybe a smudge clearer maybe.

[MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Its pretty crazy they only cost $20 nice comparison, I was gonna bring up the low light comparison but u did at the end!!
