Nice Item

Works well, and it is was as expected. The multiple magnification choices provided by the multiple lenses is nice.

Downsides: You need to be VERY close to focus at the higher magnifications, and the lights from the lamps are a bit weak and not well focused.

Good for my needs

This product is more than adequate for my needs. I only need it because I am getting old and I can't see to work on small things any more. It is perfect for the hobbyist. I wouldn't want to use it every day, but it works just fine for what I need.

Reasonable quality for the price

I would prefer if the lenses were just a little bit further from the eyes. It seems to me that being this close puts a lot of strain on my eyes.
However, lenses are decent, you can see clearly trough them. Stereo view area is decent. You have maximum magnification (4.8x) only on one eye (right one, but it looks like that can be easily repositioned to left eye with just a screwdriver).

Head band is surprisingly not uncomfortable (sorry for double negative, but it is exactly that, not uncomfortable. It is not really comfortable either...maybe bearable is the best word) especially from the point of view of what kind of material it is made of (cheap plastic, unpadded, and in hands feels like it will scrape your scalp off). Still, when on head, it is just slightly annoying.

This is my first visor so i can't compare it to something else. Let's just say that this one is usable but i think i expected something more. At least it was cheap so i am more-less satisfied with this purchase :)

Magnifying visor

I had two problems with the visor.

1. It requires 4 AAA batteries which were not included. The description did not mention that batteries were not included.

2. It does not fit me. The maximum hat size was not in the description. I can only use by holding it with my hand.
