Okay, so, today I received my magnipros led-illuminated magnifier head visors and I paid $15.95 for them. I had already decided in my mind that when I got them, they would probably be cheaply made and that I wouldn't like them and that I would probably just give them away to someone else but pleasantly to my surprise, they were the total opposites. They are very well made and the lenses are of high quality whatever the material is! As a matter of fact, I like them so much that I am about to order another pair just to have on hand just in case something happens to the ones that I just purchased. Yes, this product is well worth the money! I highly recommend these for people who do tedious work, whether it be with art, electronics or anything that requires perfect vision. I am a barber and every now and then I will get a tiny peace of hair under my fingernail which somehow gets under the nailbed and it can be very painful but thanks to the magnifier, I am able to properly utilize my needlepoint tweezers and see with Eagle Eye precision, exactly where the hair is under the fingernail nailbed thanks to this product They are well worth the money! I love em!
I don't know if my video helped in the decision or not but I am really glad you like them! I totally agree and expect things like this to look and feel cheap but they are higher quality than expected, especially the lenses felt and looked far better than anticipated. Thanks for taking the time to leave a kind and detailed comment Tony.
Just got a pair today through Amazon. They look just like yours with the exception of the battery is a rechargeable battery. You are right, they are quite comfortable and easy to use. The selection of 5 different strengths of lenses is also great. I am making rings and pens and got these for using as I add small pieces such as wristwatch gears and other watch pieces. Thanks for your video!
You're welcome, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment as well. I am really glad you like them and a rechargeable set sounds great. I had a chance to check out a much more comfortable pair that is more like normal glasses so much smaller which I now like even more. In case you care to check out those this is the video. ua-cam.com/video/5pK0YAn3qmE/v-deo.html
Hey man thanks for the review. I ordered these but the instructions were not clear about adjustment options, nor removing the battery cover. I was concerned about breaking the glasses, but your video helped a lot.
You're welcome, thank you for leaving a comment to let me know the video helped. I have gotten a LOT of use out of these, daily use for a really long time (over a year of daily use probably) so I hope they work well for you too!
I have these exact pair for crafting. And instead of letting it sit far out on my nose I put the nose pieces in between my glasses and my face and that seems to work very well. I also use the elastic piece rather than the earpieces
Definitely requires adjusting for comfort for each individual but now I have a new set (recent video shows them) which are more like normal glasses that I prefer more.
I got my MagniPro Upgraded headset last week and love them. I went through 3 sets of the old style knob and screw type but they didn't last either they would not get tight or the screw would stop working. The light on the MagniPro Upgraded headset is also much better like night and day! MagniPros LED Illuminated Headband Magnifier Visor with Bonus Cleaning Cloth and 5 Detachable Lenses 1X, 1.5X, 2X, 2.5X 3.5X - (Upgraded Version) Hands-Free Head Worn Lighted Magnifying Glass $14.95
My daughter give me a pair for a Christmas present 3 years ago and I use them a lot for diamond painting, just a few weeks ago 1 of the LED light went out so my question is it worth trying to get it fixed or buy a new set?
Press in on the little area you see near the hinge and pull, might take a bit of effort. This is a different set but the bottom right shows the "button" I am referring to when I mention the area near the hinge. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71YHWOajm%2BL._AC_SL1500_.jpg
Hi surely if your eyes are of different magnification these would be no good without your glasses, because the lenses would be the same both left and right ? Therefore not suit your eyes ?
My eyes were very different and so my glasses were. Now I have vision in only one eye but as these simply magnify it doesn't matter if they are the same or different or you use or don't use glasses. It'll simply magnify whatever your eye or eyes can see. How bad your eyes are may play into sharpness focus and such but clear or blurry it'll be magnified
So sorry to hear that. I'm 100% blind in one eye and okay with the other for larger text but nothing small. A good magnifier is very important, hope you find it helpful, God bless!
Sorry to hear that Michael, some sight is better than none but having these or another pair I also like that is LED-lit, lighter, and more like actual glasses helps a lot when messing with smaller items. A plus is being able to wear WITH glasses which either can be done with varying success depending on the size of the glasses. If you want to check the others out, here ya go. ua-cam.com/video/5pK0YAn3qmE/v-deo.html I like both, these for the multi-lens option and the others for the smaller more comfortable design. Thanks for watching and taking a moment to comment.
They slide but could easily be broken by the heavy handed. Mine works fine still though and I still think it's a good product that serves its purpose we'll.
Thanks, these should be really good for small detailed work and with several levels of magnification you should be able to get a fairly exact amount to suit your needs.
Thank you. In 95 I had a stroke and seizures and was in a coma for a week and woke with some peripheral vision lost. In 2016 I was put under to insert a breathing tube and temp dialysis catheter access and woke blind in one eye and slightly less vision in the left. These magnifiers get used every morning when I read and are still working great. Sorry to hear of your poor Lasix lasik? experience.
I'm very sorry but I don't even know where that is I've never really been wanting to travel or anything like that so I'm not familiar I'm hoping that maybe you could find it with the local Merchant or an online store in your area or at least something similar to it, good luck.
I am blind in one eye so anything helps here! For such small repairs, I think both could work fine but personally, I'd look at several factors. Do you need to wear glasses? The loupe doesn't seem ideal. Do you need additional light? The loupe doesn't seem ideal. Do you prefer glasses or a strap around your head, comfort over long use is definitely a factor. Sorry if I didn't offer a definitive answer but I don't think I can as what works for one person might not for another. It's a Pros and Cons comparison and for me, I'm likely to lean towards these in the video or another pair of glasses style in one of my other videos over the loupe/strap.
@@Tw3akst3r when i'm using the one eye loupe, i dont wear my eyeglasses. and i'm good with it...my only problem is that the loupe needs to be too close to the object for it to focus well...for repairing watches it isnt much of an issue, but for soldering small parts on a circuit board, it does pose a problem because being too close i might burn my face with the soldering iron... so i was thinking if the one on your video would work without getting too close?
@@keyt.7689 I'd think they would work, sounds like you have some pretty decent vision at the least if you can use the loupe without glasses, I certainly could not. I know this might seem like a strange suggestion but have you considered using an Endoscope? This would get you extremely close without any burn risk at all. I have had a few and still have the largest one that doesn't need a phone. ua-cam.com/video/BouYuDOMdRA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/XibgVXnYnUg/v-deo.html They also work with phones/tablets if you prefer (and if you have a large device it's a little chapter). ua-cam.com/video/UOBHUFDshBs/v-deo.html
@@Tw3akst3r my vision is -2.25 for both eyes. i need my eyeglasses for distant objects. but for closeup work, i just remove them...i have an endoscope that attaches to a phone but it aint as clear as a loupe especially when removing the hands of a watch using tweezers, and later reinstalling ang aligning. i have a magnifying lens with a metal stand but the magnification isnt as powerful as the loupe.
One could solder a couple of wires to the unit and have an external battery pack in the pocket or resting on a table. if the weight becomes an issue. might be worth the effort if using for many hours a day and the led is needed.
An external belt clipped or laying on the table type battery pack would be a good option. I use this daily but without batteries and have a lamp where I sit to read so the annoyance of the weight isn't an issue for me but would be if using batteries with it for any prolonged amount of time.
@@Phantom-pj1ls I know of them but I have never tried using one like it personally. I imagine these would work for you though. www.amazon.com/dp/B07BF7Y7K3
I just orded some b4 I watched this i have decressed vision and struggle to read my bible and also do hand craft projects Looking forward to getting then in the next few days . Thank you for the review x
You're welcome! I used to have another head magnifier I used for bible reading. Then bought one with large text which worked pretty well. Now I have it on my phone (Manna and bible apps) and tell my phone to read today's devotional and it does it all automatically so I use magnifiers for projects and such now. 😉 I have a program that allows for automation which I combined with Bixby to create routines and macros to automate things so I no longer have to actually read but can listen during breakfast, SO much easier for me!
I think that will vary from one individual to another, I can't say I have need for "long time use" but they have never been a problem for whatever amount of time I have used them for. I just had to use them recently, so useful, I did add a piece of felt to soften the area where it rests against my forehead for added comfort, though they aren't that bad as they come.
@@Tw3akst3r i actually mean as like high power glass do this lens causes any problem like that? If a person with normal eye uses a high power glass he faces so much difficulty. Is this lens have this types of issues?
If you need to draw something really small that you want to be magnified then I'd say yeah they're good for drawing. If you already or have ever used any magnification when drawing then this is going to be the same only mounted on your head and with multiple lens options adjustable compared to just holding a magnifier in front of your face.
Thanks for watching. I prefer AAA because they are cheaper and easier to find plus they tend to last much longer both when left sitting unused and in use but it would make sense for saving weight. I did a more recent video for a much smaller rechargeable pair that works well with less magnification if these seem too bulky to you. They can be seen here if it interests you. ua-cam.com/video/5pK0YAn3qmE/v-deo.html
@@Tw3akst3r I had to get a pair. A lady I am doing a job for tried to fix her laptop herself. A guy she was getting advice from told her she could do it herself. And she bent the pins on a port on the motherboard. Funny enough though the port is for her dc jack. It is one of those not soldered on the board. So instead of making it an easy repair to swap it out. I know have to try to save it by bending the pins back. And I just could not see well enough to bend them. Hoping this new tool will allow me to get a better look at it. Hope all is well and that you are in good health!
@@JTBivens I was in IT in the past so I get all of what you are saying. As I have no vision in one eye now I don't really mess with such things anymore really but for many things, I need magnification so a rechargeable version of these would be a blessing if I did not already have several options. I hope you can get the laptop fixed and that you get a lot of use from your magnifier. I wish you good health as well buddy!

With that nice device, can you place 2 lenses in the holder, or a second holder? Thanks 🤓
There are some that allow using 2 lenses at once to increase the magnification, but this specific item only does a single lens.
@@Tw3akst3r ok thank you 🤓
You're welcome.
Keep it up , great review . Thanks
Thank you!
If light is not needed, then the batteries don't need to be installed, making the unit lighter in terms of weight
I used these for a long time (and still do at times) and do not use it with batteries due to it making the weight a non-issue. 😎
Received mine today, the lenses can also be moved horizontally further away or closer to your face.
They slide but could easily be broken by the heavy handed. Mine works fine still though and I still think it's a good product that serves its purpose we'll.
Sorry to hear that, are these quite good these? I'm needing them for my model painting figure faces at a very small scale!
Thanks, these should be really good for small detailed work and with several levels of magnification you should be able to get a fairly exact amount to suit your needs.

Hope they work well for you, I use them for reading every morning.
I just did the same, how did you find them?

I assume you can't remove the light?
