Title: Very well constructed and very useful for just about any hobby or close work.
Review: The magnifier glasses come in a sturdy black clamshell storage box that has a zipper closure. They fold neatly and securely into this box. The storage box holds yet another plastic snap close box for the five interchangeable lenses. There’s a headband that can be snapped in place as an alternative for the temples that are installed as shipped. Also included is a cleaning cloth for the lenses. This storage box is really sturdy and I expect it would provide protection for the magnifiers and lenses even if dropped. I did not test this.The magnifiers themselves are made of a very tough lightweight plastic. Flexible but really sturdy feeling. Metal pins and screws are used everywhere there are joints or moveable parts.Except for adding three AAA batteries I used the magnifiers straight out of the box. The batteries are held in the magnifiers frontspiece that is touching your forehead. There is a battery cover for that clips closed on the inside of the frontspiece so it’s simple to install or replace the batteries.I have no idea how long the three AAA batteries would power the LED light on the magnifiers. I used them for about 7-8 hours, almost all of the time I was working with the light on. The batteries do add weight to the magnifiers and if they were being used where there was already good lighting, the batteries could be removed.The light is a dual white LED on top of battery case on the front of the magnifiers. There is an off/on switch for the light. The LED lights are in a little holder can be positively clicked at different angle positions to adjust how the light is shining on what you’re looking at. The white LED light is very bright even in a dark room. I think that having two bulbs probably helps with that and helps reduce shadows on the objects you’re illuminating.Once I got used to how bright the light was, I felt it was really helpful, especially when working with some smaller photoetch parts. Even though I have two light sources on the workbench where I model, I think I’ll always still use the LED light. As you turn your head to focus on your work the light follows and illuminates whatever you’re looking at. Very nice!The five magnifier lenses included are 1.0x, 1.5x, 2.0x, 2.5x, 3.5x strengths. They are hard durable plastic and very clear. The lenses snap securely into a holder that is underneath the front of the magnifiers. The lens holder itself can be positioned at different angles including the ability to completely flip the lens up and out of the way.I tried all five of the lenses to do some fine scale modeling work and for the work I was doing the 2.5x was more than adequate. The focal length for my test was about 15 inches from the lenses. For the work that I was doing this was a very comfortable and “natural” distance. The 3.5x strength lens was impressive and could come in handy but I just didn’t need that much magnification for what I was doing.As I mentioned there is an optional adjustable headband. To use this just unclip each temple piece and clip in the ends of the headband in the two places where you unclipped the temples. The headband is an elastic adjustable band that was okay but really for the work I was doing the magnifiers temples had quite enough spring to securely hold them. The headband might come in handy if you had to work with your head at some odd angle where the magnifiers might tend to slip?I have a “large” hat size. The magnifiers temples as out of the box were tight. They have a “rubber” pad on the inside end for more “grip”. For me this was more than enough for a secure tight feeling but not “pinching”. I don’t know if the temple’s “spring” could be adjusted as I didn’t try.The only really adjustable part of fitting the magnifiers to your face is a bendable nose piece. This is how the magnifiers rest on your face. The “blades” of this nose piece can be bent inward and outward to adjust for the width and fit on your nose. There are some silicone covers included that slide over the nose piece blades. I tried the fit with and without these pads. With the silicone covers on I had to spread the nose piece much wider to get the right but it felt better with them. It took a few tries, bending the blades in and out to get it just right. I used the magnifiers a few times before I got them adjusted the way I liked them. Most of the weight of the magnifiers rest on the nose piece so adjusting it to fix comfortably is important. Taking out the batteries would reduce the weight resting on the nose piece, a consideration if you don’t need to use the LED light.I used the magnifiers for a few sessions of about two hours of focused work, seated, looking down at a model on my workbench, I thought they would feel heavy or slip, especially where the nose piece rested on the bridge of my nose, but they were comfortable, secure, and did not feel loose at all for that whole time.Lastly about using the magnifiers over prescription glasses. I have “no frame” glasses so this sort of worked but wearing the magnifiers over your glasses means the nose piece can’t fit as close to your face. It changes how they fit on your face. It sort of worked but I don’t think it would be practical except for really short periods of time. My glasses are mostly for distance anyway so I didn’t try to wear them with the magnifiers, other than just to see how it would work. Unless your prescription glasses are really small I don’t think the magnifiers would fit comfortably over them.

Title: I didn’t know I needed this and now I can’t craft without it!
Review: I took a chance on this magnifying set after it was advertised to me over and over again on social media. It’s an absolute game changer for anyone in the crafting community. Cross stitcher? See those itty bitty squares with extra light and ease. Figurine painter? Never miss a spot. Diamond painter? Do it with less eye strain.For me personally, I mainly use it for cross stitching, but I also like to do nail stamping as well. It’s also helped me see my nails closer so I can paint them without making a mess. If you are into reverse stamping, you know how tiny those outlines can be to fill in. This makes it SO much easier and I love that you can choose which strength you want to fit your needs.I will say it can give you a headache if you aren’t used to it or are using it over a long period of time, but make sure to take small breaks every now and then! I got the rechargeable set solely because I don’t want to deal with changing batteries all the time and that alone saves money. It uses a standard USB charger.I’m actually planning to get another set for a coworker because she remarked on how she’s wanted one for awhile (she’s into wool felting and needlepoint) so I will definitely be supporting this company again!10/10 perfect for any crafty person in your life.

Title: Comfortable to wear for long periods of time
Review: I got these for detailing cookie decorating. They are heavy, but once I removed the sides and replaced the with the strap, the load equals out and they are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Love that you can flip the magnifying glasses up and out of the way when I need to walk to the dehydrator with the cookies, without having to take the glasses off. Also love that you can have the light on or not, depending on lighting in your house. Tons of options for magnification and high quality. They also work great when I’m doing my fingernails! Highly recommended!!

Title: Works but not comfortable
Review: Received today and was so excited to start using them! Here is bulleted pros/consPROs:-Lenses and frames all seem to be very good quality-the variety of magnifying strengths will certainly suit many users!- Glasses came charged so no issues using the led light feature immediately.- I wear cheater glasses, and did not have any issue using both at the same time- easy to read User manual with QR code links for reporting issues, spare parts, etcCONS:- Nosepieces are not comfortable for more than 15-30 mins. Additional cushioned pieces came with the package but the weight of the glassesOverall I will continue to use, but unfortunately not for long periods of time

Title: I hate to thread my serger!
Review: I just got an older serger (for free) but threading it is challenging. There are several places (not just the needles) where thread has to go through small holes. I bought this set to make it easier & it’s been a godsend!The model I bought uses 3AAA batteries, for the light. Including them would have been nice, but not a dealbreaker. I chose this option, since they are easy to get & I will never have to wait for it to recharge. The headset is not unduly heavy and I find it pretty comfortable to wear. The whole set comes in a nicely organized case, inside of which, the lenses come in their own neatly organized box.There are 5 different lenses, with varying magnification. They snap easily into the headset. While they are easy enough to remove, they do not fall out while you use them.Because of the way it fits, you could even wear it over your glasses, if you need to (though I don’t.)This set checks every box for me.

Review: Zit erg irritant, met name de neusvleugels. Vooral voor een brildrager is het waardeloos, ook zonder de (bril)armen en met hoofdband. Ook het formaat van de kijkglazen zijn erg klein. Miskoop voor mij. Helaas ben ik te laat geweest om deze retour te sturen.

Review: These magnifying glasses are a game-changer for lash artists! 🤩 The clarity and magnification are incredible, making it so much easier to see those tiny lashes. They’re comfortable to wear, even for long periods, and the light is a lifesaver. I can now work with more precision and speed, which my clients love. Highly recommend these to any lash tech looking to up their game! 🙌
