Here's the summary from the review: "Sofirn is good at making headlamps, so it's no surprise that this one is good. I really like the warm white emitters – 5000K and high CRI seems like a nice sweet spot. It's nice that the red output gets the full host of (5) output levels. The user interface is simple and familiar and USB-C charging works great. All of that for around $35; this is a deal!"
Pros: Good build quality
Low cost
Nice implementation of red emitters
Neutral emitters have all 5 modes
High CRI, neutral emitters
Cons:
Low CRI main emitter
Doesn't hit output claims (actual output 1570 lumens on turbo)
Thanks OP (sort of). Recently got the dual-head-light HS20 which I love. This one seems similar, just all emitters in a single head, and adding some red light which I don't use much. Good price though incl battery, too hard to resist.
Added a bike holder to get past the free shipping threshold, something I actually needed/wanted anyway.
Love headlights except for the fact that if you're out in the woods/backyard insects start to kamikaze your face.

It's a good flashlight, and I'm generally happy with it.
Having said that, I wish it clipped into the head strap, or otherwise were easier to insert and remove. For practical use, you have to decide whether you want to use it as a headlamp or a regular flashlight; it's too annoying to convert from one to the other, and takes too long in the field. I end up having the Sofirn on my belt, and carrying a separate small headlamp in a cargo pocket.
Also, the battery life isn't especially long, and it takes a long time to charge. This hasn't really been a problem for me (I just plug it in overnight), but I'm surprised how quickly it starts blinking red to signal a recharge is necessary.
Overall, it's still far better than the cheap flashlight I used to have on my belt.

I've done streamlight, zebra, wurkkos, and sofirn. The Wurkkos and Sofirn are right at the sweet spot of price & quality for me. Some of the off Amazon brand lights I've tried aren't worth the $5 or $10 saved for me.
