SKYZONAL Headband Magnifier Jewelry Visor Opitcal Glass Binocular Magnifier with Lens -1.5X 2X 2.5X 3.5X Magnification, 4" Focal Length

This was another pleasant surprise. While I am not an expert on these I do know optics and these are the real deal. If I was to improve on this product I would improve the lens mounting a little but it is the same as the expensive brand I think. The head band is functional but could have a nicer liner. But all in all it is a good product and works as it should and I am certain paying another $20 for the other brand will not make me feel any better. I am fussy about my tools and I am very very happy with these. Plus the $20 higher ones on give you on magnification this has it all 4 magnifications for any need or purpose and they are good optical quality GLASS! I would have paid 3 to 4 times the money if I would have gone with the other brand to get what I got here.

I wear progressive lenses and ordered this magnifier to help me hand-sharpen woodworking saws with fine teeth, such as dovetail saws. I need a relatively long working distance, such as 20”, the distance supposedly allowed by the 1.5X lens.Wearing progressive lenses makes this product difficult to use. To achieve the advertised working distances with progressive lenses, you must be looking through the very top (long distance/infinity focus) part of the progressive lens. If you look through the lower portions of the progressive lenses, the working distance of the focus gets progressively closer. So, a working distance of 20” shrinks to 4”-5” if you look through the lower portions of your progressive lens eyeglasses.Since most objects you work on would be on a counter or bench, in front of you, below your line of sight, you’ll need to dramatically tuck your chin down (and tilt your head downward) to use the visor while looking only through the uppermost part of the progressive lenses, otherwise you can't work at the 20” focus distance. I found working in this position very uncomfortable.The same issue presents itself with each of the four lens set magnifications. The working distances advertised are accurate only if you use the very top of your progressive lens. At 3.5X magnification, without glasses or through the lower portions of my progressive lenses, the working distance of the focus is reduced to 1.5”- 2” from the outer surface of the visor lenses.You can pull your glasses down to the end of your nose, so as to lower the lenses, making it possible to more easily look through the upper portion while looking down. The space between your glasses and the inside of the visor is sufficient to allow this. It's a little awkward, but it works okay as a temporary work-around.You can't use the visor without your glasses without also decreasing the working distances. In my case, if I use the visor at 1.5X magnification without my glasses, the working distance (measured from the outer surface of the visor lens to the viewed object) reduces from 20” to about 5”.If you don't need to wear eyeglasses or you have single focus eyeglasses, all of the above is of lesser importance.The means of attaching the lenses to the visor (“plastic nails”) is pretty crude. Mine kept popping out. The holes for the nails in the visor I received were not properly aligned with the holes in the magnifier lenses. The lens attachment system needs to be improved. Providing a little packet of extra nails doesn't solve the problem of misalignment and the nails popping out. The owner instructions for use could also stand some improvement and proof-reading.I didn't find this product useful for my purposes because I wear progressive lenses and I consistently need longer working distances, like 12”-20”, which could not be easily achieved in my situation. The visor might have been workable if I didn't wear progressives.

I bought this because it seem cheaper than buying a set of replacement lenses for my original optivisor. Unfortunately, while the lenses are acceptable, the pens that are used to hold them to the visor are too weak to securely attached the added weight of glass lenses.You can expect that at some point while using this visor, you will look down and the lenses will fall on the ground. Hopefully they will not break, but mine have broken each time, and now I can only use one set of lenses. Normally, I would send a message to the seller, but since this seller answered the question that there is no warranty whatsoever, I'm here to warn you.I am ordering genuine optivisor replacement lenses.

I am very pleased with this product. It has a sturdy headgear that is easy to adjust and is very comfortable. The main thing I like about this item is that the lenses are optical grade glass. Real Glass! They are a little heavier than plastic but with the great headgear that is not a problem. When they get smudged, you don't have to worry about using a tissue to wipe them. With plastic lenses, any paper products can scratch them. For just a few dollars more, you get these great, beautifully clear, almost scratch-proof, optical quality lenses and a sturdy, easy to adjust headgear that puts all others to shame!

The multiple lenses at the lowest price point are what makes this item stand out. The lenses are great. The headband is adequate. The one challenging aspect of this product are the two very small plastic grey "plugs" that are used to connect the lenses to the headbands. These little plugs have to be changed every time you change a lens. Only one pair are provided. After two uses, the plugs were lost and the whole item rendered useless. I wrote the vendor (Skyzonal) and they replaced they item. Well they went above and beyond--they sent two complete replacement items of the entire item--lenses and headbands. All I needed was a small set of replacement plugs. Now I have three pairs of the magnifier and 9 lenses. That's a lot of extra plastic I don't really need, but I do appreciate that the vendor tried their best to fix the problem. It would be more ideal, IMO, if they just had extra replacement PLUGS. Additional pairs being included in the original item in case of loss would be a great improvement for this product. If you are looking for an inexpensive option, this is a good one. The customer service was very good even though there seemed to be some language barrier in the communication.

I've only had this for a couple of days but I'm highly satisfied with it as a first impression. The item came quickly and was packaged properly. The head band adjustments work as intended. The lenses for all four sets of lenses were mounted uniformly. The glass was unscratched. There were none of the problems described in any of the other reviews. It came with one set of lenses mounted, the 2.5X and four additional pins. Six extra would have been better to have a set for each lens. Other than that I can highly recommend this item. One other thing, I wear glasses and have no problem using this magnifier while wearing glasses.

The headband has rough edges that hurts the forehead..The lens are nit glued properly and will fall feom its frame if nit properly handled.It can do its job but the overall workmanship of the product is poor .

Really wanted this product to work, but I had to literally have my face 3-4" from the object being viewed to see a clear picture. Not very useful, I mind as well hold a magnifying glass close to the object and sit back naturally.

Lenses don;t stay in, pegs not sized correctly to hold lenses in (lenses are a little heave even for the light magnification ones).

Very comfortable, delivered on time, 4 inch working distance as described.Unfortunately 3.5 times magnification lens were glued into frame on different angles, causing double vision.

IT IS AMAZING!!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!
