A comment I agree with...the GSO (Bintel and others) plossl eyepieces are functional and as a beginner set are a resonable place to start if you are in need of some eyepieces...premium they are not but again they are not priced that way.
If you are just getting started I would not spend money on a whole set...you can do great things with 3 eyepieces...low power, medium power and high power...alternately you could look at 2 eyepieces and a barlow lens gaining 4 different magnifications...
Many people have different eyepiece "strategies" and one can argue successfully for their point of view...I won't open that can of worms right now...
Cheers!
