My boss is trying to decide on a good pair of binoculars and we arent' sure what the 8X, 10X, etc means. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

its 8 times the magnification the higher the magnification the farther you will be able to see also the more you will pay, pick them up and look thru them outside and see if thats what you need if its not enough go to a higher magnification dont just look around the store look out the window or go outside so you can judge the distance you need

The other useful measurement is the diameter of the main lens. When you magnify, the light level goes down. Bigger the main lens, the brighter the image.
