Lighted Magnifier Headset with 5 Lenses – Hands-Free Magnifying Tool for Electronics, Jewelry, Crafts, Soldering, Eyelash Extensions

My husband purchased this magnifying headlamp many years ago. Today he used it and said we definitely need to share a review so others will know how well this works. He has used it at least once a week since the purchase (hundreds of times). It has been a wonderful tool that has held up perfectly, and saved him a lot of aggravation. Use them for anything that needs magnification and light (small print, splinters, working on tiny parts, etc.). Could not speak more highly about this product. You will not be disappointed, and this will probably be the best thing you ever get from Amazon.

Great product!

I finally used his magnifying headset to do some fine mechanical work on very tiny chain links and wiring. I tried different magnifying lenses in the headset, but finally settled on the 1X or lowest-power lens as having the greatest depth of field, I think, and being the least disorienting for me. By using the supplied elastic band rather than the eyeglass arms in back, and cramming the two nose pads right in front of my glasses, I could manage to use these with my glasses, which is necessary as I have a moderate amount of astigmatism in one eye and cannot successfully focus without my prescription glasses. It was, however, uncomfortable, and thus the 4 star rating overall. But given the minimal price, this really is a great buy if you have to do small-scale detailed work. The LED light works and can be adjusted a bit for tbe angle it shines down in front of your forehead, but it is not very bright—still, better than nothing! The headset also has a noticeable amount of weight, so unless you can make it really comfortable on your head, you probably could not work that long with it on. As long as you are buying it for occasional repair work like I was, that would not be a problem, but if you are thinking about using this for hours a day and have to wear it over your glasses like I do , you might have problems. I am glad I bought it. Oh, the lenses are plastic and well-formed, but you should be very careful not to scratch them and clean them only with a non-scratching cloth or soap and water.

very nice glasses for the price

WORKS GREAT BUT EVENTUALLY HURTS YOUR NOSE

Wrote a whole review and then Amazon app decided to refresh the page and deleted everything I wrote (thanks Amazon). So here's a quick rewrite.It has good stuff--nose piece is removable, the glasses arms are swappable with an adjustable band, multiple lenses with a nice case, adjustable light and lens angles.Bad stuff--forehead hurts when wearing. The rubber part is hard and makes indents in your head, it gets a little heavy wearing it for a while especially with the batteries in.Main gripe: lens don't stay in the headpiece as i think they were intended to. It seems like the lens is supposed to slide in and slightly snap in place, but the lenses I have don't do that. They slip in and it doesn't feel like they will stay. And in my case, they didn't. One of my lenses continued to fall out of the headpiece until it finally broke. The part of the lens that sticks into the headpiece snapped off and now I can't use it anymore. I'm really disappointed that the one thing this headset is supposed to do... It can't actually do properly. I'm not sure if i got a faulty headset or lenses or something, but this is an issue for all of my lenses so maybe it's a problem with the entire thing. Not sure.It was cheap and it still does what i need it to do (albeit now without the strongest magnifier lens... RIP my 3.5x lens) so I'll keep using--I DO like it, I'm just frustrated by the constant lens issue I had.

Previously used the band type light and magnifier. Did an okay job, but this product is far superior.PROS:First it comes with different levels of magnification. Very easy to tailor to a specific purpose.The light is very bright and easy to focus directly on the project.Fits very tight on the head. If you think it is too tight, there is an optional strap to hold it in place. Great ideaIt is very comfortable to use and wearCONS:The batteries are not the easiest to put in, but not so difficult as to drop a star ratingThe magnifying lens can be easily bumped out of the holder. It is like wearing glasses, you have to watch where you move your head while wearing this product. Not a show stopper, nor enough to drop a star. Just noting that you can bump the lens out if you are not careful. Does not break the lens, you just have to stop and put it in again.I liked this product enough to buy one for my daughter who does a lot of hand work requiring a light and magnifier.Highly recommend this product.

Got this magnifier on Friday, used it for about 6 hours and currently using it right now! Light is great, the illumination is superb for being so small. At 1st glance I was skeptical as to how comfortable it would be, but after wearing it for hours at a time, surprisingly it’s very comfortable! The ear pieces are detachable & comes w/ a strap to secure it to your head, which is great because I felt that just the ear pieces made it feel like it was sliding off my face, to others it may fit better, but I personally prefer the strap. The adjustability of the actual site piece is great & is easily manipulated for all different shapes of faces/heads. As far as the actual magnifying pieces they’re nice and thick & seem very durable, it comes w/ 5 different magnifiers (3.5/2.5/2.0/1.5/1.0) in a nice hard case for organization. (side note: I think these pieces are great, but could be a little bit bigger IE: Taller/wider), still very good & good quality! I haven’t done further research to see if they have other sizes of magnifiers, but I’m assuming they do, I’m personally good w/ what they provide!Overall I would recommend these to anyone requiring fine detail work such as pyrography (which is what I use them for), but they would work great for fly fisherman who make their own hooks, or computer/cell phone, jewelry, watch etc repairs! 5 stars from me & I will most definitely recommend them to all the people I know for sure!
