Short answer: no.
Long answer: definitely not. Glass quality is just alright in the Bx4. @grfox92 hit the nail on the head above, they’re underwhelming. Most other optics out perform them at similar (or even lower) price points, especially when you start looking at greater distances.
The Maven C series is the only bino I would ever buy below $500 personally. I love my B6’s, but if something happened to them and I had to do something tomorrow and I couldn’t afford another pair, I would buy a pair of C series and never complain. They’re fantastic and compete well with most in-store brands up to $1k. I owned a C1 for a few years, alongside my brother who has vortex razor HD’s, and I believe the C’s were superior optically. I worked retail behind an optics counter for several years and often took my C’s to work (to the chagrin of corporate), and would compare with other binos when things were slow. I bet I sold a hundred pairs of maven c series binos in a couple years of working there just by showing them to people and letting them compare side by side. Lots of people walked in to buy $1k binos and walked out with a Maven confirmation email from ordering a pair of C’s and just bought a bino harness from me.
Yea, they’re that good. They’re not alpha, but a guy has to spend 3-4x as much to see any improvement. Buy the maven’s and spend the $200 on your enclosed bino harness of choice instead of spending more on the Leupolds.
