Pros & Cons
Pros
I work with technicians who assemble custom electronics. I purchased this because it's exactly what they use for small hand work.
Great magnifying visor for the hobbyist or professional. Works well with glasses. Family enjoys seeing their eyes magnified to extra large. Replacement parts are available through amazon and a few other outlets.
The focal plane is narrow but workable. X magnification is great for the kind of detail work i'm doing on ceramics. This headband magnifier has an adjustable headband.
They provide clear, undistorted magnification at a good price. They are indispensable for fly tying. The acrylic lens is excellent; more than adequate clarity for my purposes.
Cons
This amazon product listing is deceptive. I'm inclined to think that this is an * knock-off with substandard materials. This is the second unit the company sent to me and they both have the same problem.

Be careful not to buy too much magnification
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So on the version of this device with glass one review goes into detail on the math but when figuring focal distance you can’t forget to factor in the magnification included in eyeglasses
