Maven Bino Review: Great Glass for the Money

Maven is a relatively new optics company from Wyoming who prides itself on great, custom-like products and top-notch customer service. While the company doesn't make its own optics (much like most of the optics companies out there) it contracts with one of the best Japanese firms in the world to produce to-spec optics that are first class. Here JJ tests the compact and easy-to-carry B3 8x30 and the top-of-the-line B6 12x50. These optics proved as durable, as bright and clear as nearly any optics in the world, and represent great value when you consider they are 1/3 the price of most European brands.
JJ likes the machined aluminum controls, the armor that's not too sticky but not too slick, and mainly, the clarity and great low-light performance. Maven has also distinguished itself in a sea of very similar optics by offering a custom-build section on its website where customers can tailor any Maven product to their liking with styles and colors.
It offers its products direct to consumers to cut out the middle man, one of the reasons Maven is less expensive than optics of similar performance.
A self-described optics snob, JJ has tested them all, and Maven continues to impress him in the mid-price range binocular category. Links provided below.

I have the Maven B3 10X30 as well as the Swarovski EL 10X42 and I always reach for the Maven's. More field time than my Swaro's. Great Bino's...

JJ, how did these perform in stress tests and what would be the difference to them vs. something like Leupold? They all seem so similar to me. Also, a Huntin' with Jones would be a cool channel 👌

Beautiful dog you have there. Congrats.

Heck I can't afford the $250 Leupold binoculars I want. I'll probably never to be able to afford something like them.

Nikon P7 8x30 as low as $110 through Groupon with 20% off discount and additional 5% off. It's actually better than the $550 Maven. If you can't get that discount the P3 8x30 for $125 is almost like the P7 still better than the Maven.
