Good starter binoculars

[entropia]

After going to the countryside on the weekend, I have realized that it is easier to bring a pair of binoculars than my telescope. I  would like to purchase a new pair since I have a cheap 7x50. I have found these options, what do you think about them? what do you recommend?

Others will be able to better advise on the Celestron, but Helios 10x50s have a good rep if you want that size:  http://www.firstlightoptics.com/helios/helios-naturesport-plus.html

Quite a bit of info on here if you search about the Celestrons some good, some indifferent. You will need a tripod for them though unless you are Arnie? I have a set and like them a lot, mine were collimated fine. Good views in them but had to get a stronger adapter as the supplied one was not so great.
