I have an older pair of Swarovski 7x30 binos and several pair of Vortex in various sizes. I have one of those cheaper pair of Nikons and couldn't recommend that specific model (10-22x50). That doesn't mean other Nikon binos in better models aren't good, just that I haven't personally tried or used them.
It does make a difference on how you plan to use them and carry them. Chest harnesses are fairly inexpensive (less than $30) but can make a nice difference, especially if you're hiking a lot. For overall use, I like 8x42's for under 300 yards. They have a nice wide field of view which makes it easier to spot game. 8X doesn't seem to magnify hand or arm shaking too much and it's one of those sizes that all binocular manufacturers make so you can usually find a pretty good deal. I have Vortex Vipers in 8x42 (my favorite) and 10x42. I can see more detail with the 10X but glassing is much easier and quicker with the 8X. I also have a pair of Vortex Vulture 8x56 binos which are a tank but were purchased specifically for when I'm hunting that last legal half hour after sunset. They are a tank and work best on a chest harness but they give me the 2nd 15 minutes of that 1/2 hour after sunset. All of my Vortex binos give me the 1st 15 minutes but those big 56mm objective lenses make a world of difference after the 1st 15 minutes.
Are you intending to buy a pair before stores open back up? If so, I would recommend Vortex because I have several pair and all have worked well in the field while hunting. If you can wait until stores open back up (probably next month for most states), it would be worth your while to wait and go look through several different brands of binoculars at a store. If you can find a dark corner or spot in the store, it will give you a little better idea of how well the binos might work in low light. If you look at something written on the other side of the store, it will give you an idea if the glass is likely going to be harder on your eyes or not. Make sure the clerk shows you how to adjust the binoculars for your eyes so you can make a better evaluation of the binoculars. In the end, you're the one who has to decide what price point you can afford and what level of glass will work for you. Hopefully this helps some.
p.s. Fair warning. Buying different pairs of binoculars can be addictive.
