Great product

My cousin has had eyesight issues for years. Unable to hold a book AND magnifying glass simultaneously, my husband suggested, 'Why not a jewelers headband with a light?' I perused the items listed and noted that this headband had everything my cousin would need-and then some-to help him read everyday items.Prior to ordering, I suggest any potential customers measure the circumference of your head to insure the proper fit. In the description for this item, there's a suggestion of 20 inches-25.5 inches for best fit. My cousin's head circumference was 23 inches. If you don't own a seamstress measuring tape, there are other ways to measure your head: Yarn/string: Do NOT pull or stretch the yarn/string. This will give an inaccurate measurement; Paper: You can always make strips of paper with measurements in inches written on it. Or, after wrapping the strip around your head, measure using a ruler or yard stick the length of the paper. No matter what, measuring first will insure that this headset will fit appropriately.Words my cousin used to describe this item (which he received yesterday): Comfortable; adjustable; not heavy; hands-free; adjustable light from dim to bright. While he's only utilizing one lens set to start with, he appreciates the ability to adjust the lenses to magnify as needed; cloth for cleaning the lenses; all items fit neatly in the storage, not loose.My cousin also appreciated the free magnifying lens that came with this headset as a bonus. He uses a magnifying glass to check on expiration dates on items at the grocery store. Recently, he misplaced his regular magnifier, which was bulky and heavy. He was thrilled with this bonus lens as it's small enough to fit in his pocket.Also grateful that this item came already charged! Gave my cousin the opportunity to try out the entire ensemble to insure he was happy with the product.The only qualm for him with this item was the inability to charge it. He lives quite simply. He's not tech savvy, therefore doesn't have anywhere to put the USB for charging. I was skeptical when ordering this item as I didn't see a separate plug-in for the USB so it could go into a wall outlet to charge.Just to be clear, if you have an updated home with wall outlets that come with a USB already in your outlet, or you have a separate plug-in with a USB so you can charge items, you're good to go for charging. Otherwise, although this comes with a charging cable, this item does NOT come with any additional way for you to plug this in to charge!My cousin LOVES this headset! Due to a childhood injury, his eyesight in one eye has been diminished. His eyesight didn't really start to become problematic until about 15 years ago when he started using a handheld magnifying glass. After an accident 7 years ago when he injured himself badly doing hurricane clean-up around his home, he's been unable to hold a magnifying glass AND a book. This headband, with all of it's bells and whistles, was just the thing he needed to enjoy reading his magazines and Bible. He said that he'll probably be able to use this for the rest of his life!

The adjustability, fit, magnifying options, headlight & adjustability of the headlight are all superb. My one complaint is the light doesn’t last as long as I could use. I get a couple hours of steady use even on the lower setting.

I look like a total geek when I put it on but for an old guy with questionable eyesight the lenses with the light lets me see detail that I was missing. I use it daily whenever I need to see up close. Makes life easier.

My son absolutely loved these magnifiers for some of the close work he does.

Item is perfect for my needs

Price is good, rechargeable light is good. I am far sighted and use these a couple times a week. I absolutely cannot see the rear LCD screen on a camera without these. These are a bit awkward for that purpose, but I like the way you can flip them up; they stay put when you do this. Think they would be too heavy for most people to wear all day.

This is a very good product with 1 exception, the battery life could definitely be longer. Typically only lasts for a couple hours on high.
