Best compact binos up to 50$ ?

I have a Bresser Hunter 10x25 in my car, which costed only about 15 euros (21 usd). I don't know if it is the best, but I am very happy with it. It is nice, compact and light and works really good. I use it mainly for occasional wild life observation when I am on the road and for exploring the area when hiking. For such purposes the binoculars does a good job.
 
Couldn't find anything I would consider decent for under $50. For about 5 or ten dollars more you may want to check out the Bushnell H20. They make a 8x25 that looks ok.
 
Sometimes you can find something decent for $50 in a pawnshop, or a closeout sale.

Generally, compact, good, and cheap are not going to be found all three in one binocular.
 
I saw one place offering 8x25 Nikon Travelite VI bincos for $66. A prior model of the Nikon Travelite got a Consumer Reports "Best Buy" rating. They are more than $50 but well worth it.

"$50" and "good" don't equate.
Try the pawn shops for a good name brand. You may be able to pick up a bargain, but I wouldn't bet on it.
