The barska binoculars are okay but they are definately some of the lower end binos. They do have some good features that you dont always find in that price range such as: they have barium crown (higher density) glass instead of boro-silicate which will reduce light scattering and give you a sharper image, they are waterproof and fogproof, and they have a rubber armoring on them to make them durable. They have fully coated lens but they do not have fully-multi coated lenses or phase coating. If you are looking for something to just get you by for a while then they will work. However, if you want something you wont soon be throwing in the garbage, you might want to upgrade to the mid-range binos around $250-$500.
