Headband Magnifier Double Lens Head-Mounted Reading Magnifier Loupe Jewelry Visor Opitcal Glass Binocular Magnifier with Lens Magnification-1.5X 2X 2.5X 3.5X

This is the second purchase of this type of magnifier. What I really liked more about this one was that it has multiple lenses with it that you can use for a variety of tasks. I use it for fine needlework, or working with very detailed carving that I do in my soapmaking. I have also used it for other things as well. It is very comfortable to wear and adjusts easily to your headsize by adjusting the knob in the back. The lenses tip up for viewing normally. The lenses are easy to change as well. I don't wear glasses, but it can be worn over glasses if you wear those. Some optics aren't clear and are fuzzy, but these are nice quality lenses and magnify clearly and I find this a very helpful magnifier. I would highly recommend it. This does not have a built in light, so I did not rate that. It is just the lenses without a light.

Well made and easy to use. Really helps me to read the fine print in books and other small items. Fully functional and adjustable! I like them a lot.

This headband magnifier is very comfortable and works well, even while wearing eye glasses beneath. The interchangeable lenses seem to be of good quality and are easy to install and remove, and the magnification is very sharp. The unit did come apart when dropped, but reassembly was quick and easy.

Work great! I would suggest getting small screws to hold lenses in place as plastic rivets don’t hold as well as one would like.

This appears to be a cheap knock-off of the similar but higher-quality Donegan Optical product. Most of the design, down to dimensions, texture and style are close if not identical. A few points: 1. The pivot adjustment nuts do not stay put as one raises and lowers the visor. Expect to be tightening the nuts often. 2. The visor sticks out about 1/2" farther due to the (mis)location of the pivot points in the headband. This can prevent you from getting close to your work, especially in tight situations. 3. The visor band is vinyl instead of leather, and has no sweat-absorbing felt band. 4. The magnifier plates are compatible with the Donegan Optical magnifier lenses, and seem to be decent quality. 5. The magnifier lens case is warped and does not hold the lenses unless the attachment pins are removed first. Also, mine came with six pins. Why there isn't a pair of pins for each of the four lenses seems bizarre. So you need to move the plastic pins from lens to lens. This seems unnecessary and likely to help you lose pins. So overall, I think this product is OK for brief occasional use. But if you expect to use it often, think about a higher quality product. One appealing strategy is to buy this, toss this headset, buy a less-expensive Donengan product that comes with a plastic lens, and use the set of four lenses that come with this product with the superior Donegan headset.

I already have two original Donegan Optical "Optivisors" which are excellent but quite expensive. I had read the glass optics provided with these are excellent and that they also fit Optivisors. Both of these are correct. The headband is not as good as the Donegan headband in fit or smooth adjustment, but it is OK to good. If I was only comparing to most other makes of magnifying visors I would not know this one is a solid B rating rather than an A. It isn't as though you adjust these things all the time, a little bit of stiff operation beats sloppy in any event. A very good deal at half the price of a single plate from Donegan! The forehead padding is a bit "almost good", maybe a felt strip will end up being added over the plastic pillow sort of stuff provided, but I'm being picky to even mention that. If it is that important buy the original, but I'm very pleased given the amount of money saved.

The headband won’t expand enough for a comfortable fit. My normal hat size is about 7 1/4. Who makes a headband that won’t fit an average size man’s head?! If i push it down to fit where I normally wear a hat it is way too tight. Uncomfortable really. It just needs to open about a 1/4” more. The lenses are clear, images are crisp. I’m just really disappointed with the head band!

It does its job. Much better than my 10yrs old one

Seems just as good as the more expensive brand

I am getting older, this headband magnifier suits me very well.

Does what it says. Has 4 variations of lenses. Works very well, comfortable to wear.

It should be recommended as high quality and worth the price.
