200-375 dollar range..Sightron SIII have a pair and they are outstanding almost as good as my 8x42 Leicas but lighter which i like. Picked them up for 249 on Ebay. Leupold Wind River Pinnacle would be next choice and after that Bushnell Elite all 8x42
375-500 Pentax SP 8x43 ,Eagle Optics Platinum 8x42

Eagle optics will send you Binos on a 30 day evaluation to test out and your return them before 30 days unharmed and you get your money back. Your eyes may be different then mine so it is up to you to decide on which glass looks the best at these price points.
