"Urgent" new binocular (5 Viewers)

[LRL]

Hi
After an unexpected accident with my current binos (Bresser Condor 10x42) , im in need for a new pair. As I didnt expect to have to buy another bino, my budget is 300€ or under . After some reading in this forum and in others , i have a few candidates:

Sub 200€
-Sbvony 202 ED 10x42 (170€ +-)
-Opticron Oregon 4 PC Oasis 10x42 (171.94€)
-Delta Forest II 10x42 (189€)
250-300€
-Helios Lightwing HR 10 x 42 (279€)
-Nikon Monarch M5 10x42 (306€)
-Viking Merlin ED 10x42 (299.95€)
-Bushnell Legend L series 10x42 (325.97€)
-Kenko Avantar 10x42 ED H (299€)
-Opticron explorer wa ed-r 10x42 (280€+-)

The ones here that are above 300€ , i think i can get for less money , so thats why i include them.
If i can get similar quality with the cheaper cheaper Svbony and Oregon , i will choose them over the more expensive ones.
If you have any other recommendations, please let me know .

Thank you in advanced

At that budget i'd go 2nd hand, and get better quality.

Svbony SA205 is also in your budget, more or less 220€ now direct on svbony.com
SV202 are foundable at less than 100€ (i paid mine 75€ last year)

But with 300€, a good second hand is probably the best choice

Thank you all for your responses. The thing is that im now without any pair of binoculars , and if i start looking at the second hand market , it might take a while to find a good option ( i live in Spain , so for 300€ i cant import something from out of the EU, and here the second hand market is quite small)
Thats why i dont contemplate second hand

I can't comment on the 10x42 but I've recently bought two examples of this model in 8x32 and have been very happy with both.

Suggest contacting any local birding groups and see if anyone has a pair that they are no longer using.
