EXACTLY what was needed!
I was looking for a magnifier that would help me enlarge the hole patterns for cross stitching. This works perfectly. The included five interchangeable magnifying pieces allow me to see a small or large portion of the design without moving closer or farther away from the design.
The nose piece is rubber coated and is flexible so you can alter its position for comfort. The attached side arms allow you to wear it as though it is a pair of reading glasses; and it also has a detachable headband strap to replace the side arms should it be more comfortable to wear. I haven't had any comfort issues yet and have worn this device for as long as four hours straight.

Amazing!
I bought these to use for crafts and in my garden (trying my hand at cross-pollinating). I figured they'd be okay to use with my glasses if nothing else. I tried them out about a week after they arrived and OMG, I don't even need my glasses (readers) at all. I love the sturdy construction (I know because I dropped them as soon as I opened the box and then again about an hour later), sturdy enough to fall on tile and survive! Easy to change out the lenses, comes with a great storage case for said lenses and a nice strap. I'd buy again for sure!

Great! Many uses
I was really hoping this would be sensational, and it is! I wear bifocals and the head strap is a great option for me, because I am constantly going back and forth to different rooms to get supplies, or other simple distractions. Granted, you can wear without eyeglasses, but I prefer to just have the on at all times.
Extremely lightweight and comfortable, and changing lenses is very simple.
What I liked most was the adjustable light, the ability to swing the lens up when looking at other items in my work station.
Really no cons on this product, because it performs as it should.

Extremely pleased with this product!
This product has exceeded my expectations! It works perfectly, easily goes over my prescription glasses....or wear over contacts. I can adjust the lens angle as well as change out the strength of the lenses. It even has a little light with switch on the bridge of the lens. Lots of options! N.B to those of a “certain age” ;) The extra lenses are especially helpful as I have cataracts growing and am able to increase the lens power ....until my cataracts are operable...then I can return to lower power :)

Excellent Buy
Very pleased with this. As a sculptor working in miniature, these are invaluable. It fits well and stays in place. The adjustable lens clip and the variety of interchangable lenses make its versatility the perfect magnifying tool for the price, which is just what I needed. I suppose if I turned out my studio lights, the built in light might prove useful, but with the ample lighting that I already have, it doesn't make a difference for me, so I don't use it, but the aforementioned features are what I need most anyway. This was an excellent buy for me.

This is awesome! I can work on my jewelry design again
This is awesome! I can work on my jewelry design again! So far so good with the product. I wear glasses so I use the adjustable straps instead of the over the ear bracket. The lens comes in different strength and has it's own protective cartridge and soft cleaning rag. The led lights is BRIGHT! This product is a problem solver. My husband used it too in order to read it's manual...lol Going to order another one for him as well.

Fantastic for miniature painting
I love these magnifiers! I'd resisted trying something like this for my miniature painting for years, because I was worried it would mess with my depth perception. But after suffering from neck pain recently, and having these recommended to me, I decided to give them a go.
Now I don't know if I could ever go back- it's so much easier to see detail, the light is really handy for seeing what I'm doing, and I like that I can look around the lenses to get more paint out of the bottle or look at reference materials.
These are an awesome deal, as well- they fit nicely, are comfortable to wear for long stretches, and come with a bunch of different lenses of varying strength. I'd recommend starting off slowly, with the 1.5X lens and then going up from there.
All in all, I love these and would highly recommend them to other painters. One of my best purchases in recent memory!

GREAT FOR BEAD WORK AND TINY STUFF!!!
I wish I would have got these much sooner!!! They are a fantastic help to me when beading and trying to find and see the hole, especially on darker color beads.
They have a built in LED light and interchangeable lenses, depending on your needs and type of magnification you need. Plus they also come with an elastic headband if you don't like the eyeglass style brackets over the ears, they pop off very easy and the provided elastic headband can be attached instead.

Well designed, easy to use
This magnifier is fantastic. It is well designed and easy to use. More importantly, it is very effective in magnifying what you are looking at and making it easy to work on the tiny items and to keep them in clear, sharp view. I paint miniature clay pots and this visor lets me keep everything in perfect view. Better still, there are different strengths of magnification . I can slip in a new insert in the visor holder and have a greater magnification enabling me to see in increased size what I am working on.
I have purchased other visors but none were as well designed or effective as this one. I've purchased three of them. One is for painting clay miniatures, one is for painting watercolor miniatures and one was for my husband.

A life saver for needle work
I use this magnifier when doing embroidery, and it has saved my eyes! The strongest magnifier (it comes with a bunch of lenses with various magnifications) allows me to see exactly where my needle is going and gives a good look at the stitching. I feel that my work looks a lot better since I can see it so much better with this magnification. It comes with an elastic headband and with earpieces like glasses. I started off using the elastic, but ended up using the ear pieces since I take the magnifier off and put it back on pretty frequently. This is a must have for anyone who does close up work.

This makes a great reading light
I bought this for my 90 year old mother who has a lifetime love for reading. In the past I purchased either a light or magnifying glass to help her with nighttime reading. What’s great about this device is, she can have a light and magnifier to help her read and it’s hands free so there’s no problem holding the book with two hands. Not sure if this was the intended purpose of the device but it does a great job of helping older book readers, especially at night.
Highly recommended !

Great for reading comics and small print if you need your hands free
Bought this to read some comics (I read a lot of them) that the lettering is so small and it works great. I had grown tired of holding a magnifying glass with my hand, keeping the comic open while trying to find the right angle of light to be able to read and see the comic. Seemed back then as I needed three hands. This item fix my problem and has all kinds of adjust ability and a built in light. It also comes with various magnification lenses that are interchangeable. I thought it would feel heavy, uncomfortable and tiresome on the face/nose but no. They feels almost the same as my regular glasses. Great buy for the price. I recommend it. Thank you all.

So comfortable and easy to use!
These are Exactly what I was looking for in order to do some paint by numbers. The painting canvas is super small and came with a cheap plastic square magnifier. These are comfortable, you can find the lens that works for you for whatever the project. I have started using them with my jewelry making as well. My favorite feature is I can wear my prescription eyeglasses with this product as well and that has been the biggest bonus on purchasing these. I like the there is a container for all the lenses so they won't get scratched up. and I like that I can use the light or not use the light depending on my project. I couldn't have made a better purchase!

head mount magnifier
I purchased this head light to do some detail craft work and it is wonderful. I ordered a 2nd pair to keep in my "busy bag" for those times when I am sitting for a long period of time. This week I was in a waiting room of a hospital for 6 hours and with this head light I was able to work on a craft project while I sat in a dark room waiting for my friend to recover from surgery. The head light gives plenty of work light. It my look a bit strange but if you want to keep busy this is the head light for you. I always carry a spare set of batteries but didn't need them. I have ordered 2 more pairs to give as gifts to my crafty friends as xmas gifts. The price is great and I know they will love them.
Estell Zemlak
Very comfortable and useful for many crafts.
I started a course in jewelry making and some sort of magnification device is recommended. I did not want to spend a fortune and I needed something that worked with glasses. So far I have only found it necessary to use the 1x and 1.5x. This comes with the option to use a headband rather then the temples which interfered with my glasses. The band is adjustable which is great because I have a huge head. This is so comfortable that I forgot that I was wearing them until I looked up from my work. The light is nice and bright and can be adjusted to shine on your work. I highly recommend these
Gabriel Kunde
Very convenient magnifier
I wanted something that illuminates my close up work plus magnifies well. This unit is better than I had planned when I first started looking for a task light. Its bright enough. What really sold me was the multiple magnifications that are quickly changeable and the fact that this is a head mounted unit as compared to fixed task lighting solutions. Normally, I'll use this at a desk/task table, but I am already seeing times where I will use it on mobile tasks such as working on wiring in my truck, or machine repairs in the shop.
I hope it lasts because I'm lining up a bunch of projects to use it on. May need to buy a second set.
Ernesto Zulauf
These are amazing!
I do a lot of painting and intricate work that requires magnification and light. I had another headlamp magnifier that would give me a headache after about an hour of use. That one wrapped around my entire head, so I was thrilled to see something like this that were worn like glasses. There is also a strip you can attach if you want to strap it around your head. I love the different magnifications of the lenses, and they are so easy to switch. The LED light is extremely bright, I would absolutely recommend these glasses for anyone that does arts and crafts, or anyone that needs lighted magnification to see something.

great headset for painting minis
I use this to paint mini figures. the 3.5 lens is excellent for this and the focal length is good. The headset weighs nearly nothing. The LED lights supply enough light for me to see the details on a very small figure. It fits well and is easily adjustable. Sometimes I use it with my glasses so I can just move the nose piece up to allow my glasses to fit in. The lens angle and the light angle is adjustable, and if you really need it you can attach the strap so you don't need to have the ear pieces. I find that I don't need the strap because the amount of weight this puts on the bridge of my nose is barely noticeable. I wear it for 3 to 4 hours at a time and it has worked great for me!

Good value and gets the job done.
I purchased these since I've started to build and repair electronic devices as a hobby. They've helped me see better as I'm soldering and inspecting components on circuit boards. I've been using this for a few weeks now without any issues. It's very lightweight. The lenses are plastic which helps keep the weight down. They come in a decent case to keep them in and protected. I can't complain about the quality either. Everything is clear. I have a large head. They fit well and don't slide around on my head. The built-in LED is decent. It helps illuminate what I'm focused on.

Never thought I even needed this but glad I bought it!
Saw this little gadget in an eyelash extension group I’m in and everyone spoke highly of it so I just wanted to buy one to say I had it as well lol.
I always thought my eyes worked fantastic but one day I decided to try it out and boy did it make a difference! It upped my speed so much and made my lashes look beautiful!
I was more blind than I thought since I had to use the #2 lenses ?? the little light at the tip of them is very handy especially if you work in a place with not the best lighting.
