Sofirn HS11 Headlamp vs MasterTool Rechargeable Zoomable Headlamp

The Sofirn HS11 is the stronger headlamp. It is far brighter at 630 lumens versus 120, uses an aluminum-alloy body instead of ABS, and charges over USB-C with a replaceable 18650 cell. Owners call it light and comfortable, though some say it is best for light use and the zoom is modest. The MasterTool adds a motion sensor and a claimed long beam distance, but its low output and plastic housing make it a budget pick for close work.

• Choose the Sofirn HS11 if you want a light, bright, USB-C headlamp with a metal body and swappable batteries for camping, hiking or work.
• Choose the MasterTool if you mainly want hands-free motion-sensor switching for close tasks and do not need high brightness.
