Unlike the telescope, through binoculars we can watch a three-dimensional image, also it's possible to look through with both eyes instead of one, even though a telescope is able to view way further than a binocular, but these are meant for closer images instead of specific planets. The binoculars of today are totally different than those that have been made 150 years ago, since we have a lot more funtions on the binocular from today: coating is possible, having an anti-fog view and much, much more!
