Wow, 25x for $12? Does it still count as Braille Scale if you're wearing these?

These are fixed lenses that are not center focused. So you will only be able to use one eye at a time for magnification. Might be more comfortable than others of the same type.

Here's the actual headset magnifier that that one is a counterfeit of: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007CDJKM2
This is what I've been using for my models. I generally use the 2x lens, but being able to swap is very helpful.

I already have a 4x headpiece with a 10x single-eye loupe for everyday use, but a 25x for special occasions couldn't hurt, especially at $12.
But since we're here talking about it... the headband portion of mine looks a lot like the $45 one posted above, and irritates my skin, leaving a red welt across my forehead after I wear it. I usually wear a bandanna underneath it, but that's really hot and doesn't absorb sweat, meaning sometimes models get dripped on - not good. Anyone else have a similar problem, or have any other suggestions of products that might have different headband material?

Why is the link to amazon I put in my post showing up as a link to newegg?
I don't have a problem with the headband itself. The plastic pad irritated my forehead. I took it off and replaced it with a cloth one. That worked like a charm.

You linked to Amazon? I see sportsmansguide.com.
I think this forum uses a link redirector for advertising revenue, maybe that's changing things?
