Hi,
I think these eyepiece and barlow are from either sky-watcher or GSO. So expectation don't be too high.

Anyway, if you want high quality eyepiece at a low price, may be you should try the orthoscopics eyepeiece. IMHO, they are the best value eyepiece in the market.

Have a nice day.

The FoV actually is not that small... If you find the FoV of plossl is OK to you, you shouldn't find orthoscopic's FoV too small.

IMO even the cheaper plossols are very well made now and I prefer these to orthos as I do find the latter's FOV too narrow. :)
