I picked up a three-pack of these at Costco when they were selling for 3/$12 in store (on sale) and they turned out to be a great value. Even came with their own Duracell AAs. https://www.costco.com/duracell-575-lumens-cob-headlamp-3-pack.product.100894411.html
In addition to having a nice spotlight and red light which is typical for multifunction headlamps these days, they have a very useful broad floodlight mode and a UV light mode which was unexpected but a nice addition. Some criticisms are the controls are a little unintuitive and slow to use. The buttons would be hard to manipulate with gloves on. Also the headband isn't the most comfortable. Another moderate downside is it's bulky so it's not easy to just shove into a pocket when not in use.
I'm not sure about long-term durability but for the price these things were an excellent buy. I should have picked up another pack or two just to hand out to friends like candy.
As for flashlights I take when I'm getting out there, my main go-to flashlight is a Surefire G2X Pro but it's bulky so it's not always good unless I have a lot of pockets. My go-to headlamp is a Petzl Tactikka. Not the brightest out there but I like that one for its comfort and intuitive controls/function. And I have a Streamlight Microstream USB for a pocket light, which also has the same hat clip as its bigger brothers.
Yup. Lots of options out there these days. I still have a couple older incandescent headlamps, but they were heavy and bulky. It was time for an LED upgrade for sure.
