Review on 🔍 Maven B2 45 mm ED Binocular: High-performance 9X45 Gray/Orange Optics for Exceptional Viewing by Jason Rosekrans

I spent a lot of time comparing binoculars before deciding to replace my 25 year old Zeiss 10x40 BGA. I looked at Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss and Maven. Visually, Swarovski was a bit sharper than the rest, but not enough to make you pay 2-3 times more. Next came Maven, very similar to the Leica Trinovids in my opinion and clearly superior to the Zeiss Conquest HD. I think this is the best value for binoculars and the 9x45 B2 is impressive. Exceptionally comfortable for long glazing sessions, very bright and clear side to side, with long eye relief and good depth of field. The eyecups fit my eyes well, although I know some have had trouble with them. The B2 is bigger and heavier than the B1, but the extra light and comfort make it the obvious choice for me.
