If you can afford them, and as BigMike stated, the Swarovski's can't be beat.
For the past 2 years I have been using their 10X25 CL Pocket series binos from the JX3.
An acquaintance of mine let me use his for a couple of hunts and I was surprised how versatile they were.
The ability to see at dawn and dusk was surprisingly good, even with the 25mm lens.
The 10X is easily steadied on the tether, and their small size makes them unnoticeable around your neck.
These are not the bino's for western glassing, but for eastern whitetail woods and occasional fields.
There is also an 8X25 model.
