Brings things sharply into focus.
Excellent magnification, a wee bit fiddly to get them on before your glasses but I expect this will be easier with practice and usage. I am using the legs on option so maybe the headband will make that a bit easier.? so far i like the legs but I have to agree with some other reviews in that the nose pad can be a bit uncomfortable, I'll still be using this though and will try and come up with a solution to improve the nose pads, for the moment I find lifting the glasses up from the bridge of the nose gives a bit relief.Wow for the magnifying aspect, clear acrylic lenses, detail is brilliant, easy to exchange as they simply slip into the flexible angle clip, the LED lighting is very useful, (I charged them fully before using in earnest but they come with a bit of charge), again just support with the free hand and its no problem to swap in or out, switch between brightness etc ; you just have to angle it upward and simply pull whilst holding the clip steady with your other hand then insert your next choice of magnifying lens. Love that they are provided in a secure wee acrylic box which is designed to hold the lenses apart- No scratching against other ones + lens cloth provided too. I was wowed by the detail, made sewing a breeze, easily much better than my squinting efforts ,who knew velcro was made up from such tiny, tiny loops? LOL.I for one am very happy with these, great for multiple jobs, ever so slightly uncomfortable but not too heavy. 100% definitely fit for purpose, sewing, digging out an ingrown toenail ( not mine) with brilliant close up attention to detail, I love looking at things in detail, a captured beastie, a feather , I won't rabble on you'll find them very functional and fit for purpose. I purchased after an offer pinged up so value for money definitely.Arrived in its own storage box( I like to keep things in their original box (which has internal shaping) to store them without damaging them. It is not too bulky, has a bit of weight but is reasonably comfortable to wear over prolonged times, LED lighting 2 brightness choices which lasts and is very helpful , and multiple choice of lenses ,legs or headband. 10/10

This device meets, even excels, requirement.
Cards on table; YOCTOSUN is a company that I am not familiar with and I was concerned that the LED Head Magnifier might be a cheap 'knock off' of another product. I went ahead with purchase after reading reviews and have not been disapointed.The magnifier, straight out of the box, reeks of quality. The device, on the whole, appears very strongly constructed.I'll start with the 'lenses' that appear to be very tough and magnify very well - although I do not have the specialist equipment to varify each lens as to magnification I can say each one 'steps up' magnification from previous very well. The lenses are very clear and are very easy to 'swap out'.On to the headset! There are two ways to wear the set; like normal glasses or with the clip on elasticated strap. For me the strap is entire optionl! I have tried the strap and it is very comfortable in use but the fitted 'arms' are really comfy and well fitted for me and I prefer them. The only minus concerning the strap and arms is actually a plus! When fitted [take off by pressing in fixing catch and sliding fitting out] both the strap and the arms are very tightly fixed. This makes changing between arms and strap a little awkward but also means the fitted item is excellently fixed in place.The headset has a pivot point that allows the whole lens assembly to move 'up and down', the lens holder has a pivot point to allow th lens to be put to the desired viewing angle and the lens holder can slide in towards the face or out to further adjust viewing requirement. The lenses are easily changed, snap securely into place, hold firmly and remove easily by user. There is also a light with two brightness settings that are easily accessed by a single button press [off, on, very bright in a cycle]. The light is part of the pivoted assembly and also has its own pivot point to adjust angle as needed.There is only a little more to cover. The device is very light to wear - much more so than other similar, bulkier devices. The 'bridge' that holds the magnifier at the bridge of the nose is very comfortable too. If you do not normally wear glasses it will take some getting used to wearing this device. Those that already do wear glasses can wear both the glasses and this device at the same time if needed - will take some getting used to but I can report it is totally 'doable' and the sliding nature of lens fitment helps a lot.Charging the device is very easy! The included charge cable is a bit short but perfect for the job and fits to the device with micro usb then into laptop / PC / standard USB charger / battery pack via standard USB A.I bought the YOCTOSUN LED Head Magnifier specifically for when model making but have also used it when reading to great affect. The magnifier has, so far, excelled in use. And the price point is brilliant. I do not often write such a glowing review but feel the device deserves it.I can also report that the device was delivered the next day as wanted and was well enough packed. I would use this manufacturer and seller again if needed.

Decent magnifier for short periods
The variety of lenses is pretty useful; they have different magnification but all focus fairly close-up.It's easy to adjust the angle and distance of the lens thanks to the articulation in the lens arm. Swapping lenses is dead easy, just pull it out and pop another one in. The box for the lenses is really nice to have and keeps them from invariably getting left on the workbench and scratched up.The elastic headband is a nice option to have and I find it comfier than the "glasses frame" style. The front isn't super lightweight, and while the nose pieces are adjustable (they just bend), you do notice the weight after a while. It's certainly OK for occasional use for an hour or so, but I wouldn't want it on much longer without a decent break, or particularly frequently.I've not had to rely on the LED light yet. It doesn't seem to be super bright, but it does have two levels and being USB rechargeable is great.
