A closeup of a record needle (also called a stylus) playing a record. This makes it even more baffling to me that these vinyl discs ever played music. Science is funky.
I ordered this magnifying headlamp:

And I don't like it. The LED lamp is good. The cushioned headband is nice. The adjustment knobs I like. The magnification? Good.
BUT
The borders on the lenses.
THE BORDERSSssssssss
Are definitely noticeable and distracting.
This is what I see:
(the blue is thicker and brighter though)
And if I bring the object closer:
The middle bar shows up.
I've been trying to ignore it, but can't. I can, but I need to put in effort to do so, and I'd rather not have to divide my attention like that. So gonna have to return it and order one with lenses free of any borders or casing. There are so many options though. :/
