Any better Binos?

I’ve got a pair of Hawke endurance ED 8x42. I think they’re cracking. £260ish with a lifetime warranty.
 
You can pick up ex military prisim x7 ones for around £80 which are very good for the money, albeit you'll have to put up with the mil marks on the right lense. Otherwise Vortex are hard to beat. I have a pair myself for when heavy Swaroskis aren't required
 
For the price Minox would bea close contender and in terms of performance there would not be much in it imo.
Where Vortex excel is the lifetime warranty.
 
Have a look at Maven Optics - pretty sure Highland Outdoors are the UK agents for them. They do a ‘C Series’ bino range, which has exceptional glass, for the price point! Well worth a look at these - I picked up a pair at the stalking show this year and was seriously impressed.

(Speaking as someone who has used vortex Diamondback 10x50 for the last 9 years. )
 
+1 Maven. Replaced my Vortex Razor Gen2 and RFs with Maven equivalents. Glass is sharper and better contrast. Everything else roughly the same.

C.1s will be in your price range once you apply a discount code for signing up.
