Here's what other sites are saying:

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Petzl MYO XP headlamp was developed for high-level performance. To do this, it uses a high-output LED, a Wide Angle lens, three constant lighting levels and a flashing mode. This headlamp provides powerful lighting that can be adapted to the situation and the activity. The Wide Angle lens option is useful for instantly switching between long-range and proximity lighting. If necessary, it is possible to occasionally increase the light output to 150 lumens with the Boost mode (to locate a person, a car, etc.). To efficiently manage battery life, this headlamp comes with a battery charge indicator light. Petzl MYO Features: High-output lighting: - 150 lumens (Boost mode), 85 lumens (maximum level) - shines up to 97 meters (Boost mode) Headlamp can adapt to your lighting needed: - ability to adapt the light’s brightness to the activity: three lighting levels (maximum, optimum, economic) - Wide Angle lens allows to quickly switch from flood beam proximity lighting to focused long-distance lighting in a single movement - Boost mode increases power if needed, while optimizing energy consumption and weight (175 g including batteries) - with flashing mode - perfect for endurance-oriented activities: 180 h light duration at economic level - light body is tiltable to direct the light beam where needed Comfortable and stable: - compact design - adjustable elastic headband - top strap included (not attached) for increased stability if needed Reliable and durable: - battery charge indicator light: warns when the batteries are 70 % and 90 % discharged - switches are protected from accidental operation when light body is in upright position - bulb does not need to be replaced - water resistant for all-weather use Distance (Max) Battery Life t = 0 t = 0.5 h t = 10 h t = 30 h (reserve) (total) optimum 54 m 47 m 36 m 21 m / 100 h economic 34 m 31 m 27 m 24 m / 180 h Boost 97 m / / / / /"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Sometimes an epic climb or ski traverse leaves you with no choice but to find the car or the next camp with the assistance of a trusted light source. The new Petzl Myobelt XP headlamp is just the answer for high performance hands-free lighting, especially in cold conditions. A remote battery pack can be worn under clothing to preserve battery life and the energy source can be quickly replaced without removing the lamp from the head. Another prominent feature of the Petzl Myobelt XP headlamp is the super long lasting, high-powered single LED with three lighting levels. Gone are the days of multiple LEDs to provide sufficient light. This extraordinary new LED will throw a beam further and brighter and a boost option offers temporary flood-beam intensity to study sudden forks in the trail or creepy sounds in a neighboring cave. To go along with the advantages of a remote battery pack for cold weather, the entire Petzl Myobelt XP headlamp assembly is water resistant so the rain and snow won't stop you when hiking at night."

From CampSaver.com:
"The Petzl Myo XP Belt Headlamp is compact, lightweight and powerfull.Designed for action, these headlamps let the user choose between long range lighting and proximity lighting.The light beams are powerful and long lasting.The Myobelt XP can be powered"

From RockCreek:
"The Petzl Myobelt XP is a slick, lightweight and comfortable headlamp that has a Wide Angle lens and produces a flood beam for proximity lighting, and a spot beam that shines up to 50 meters. When you really want or need a light that shoots further, you can switch it to the Boost mode that shines up to 65 meters for 20 seconds. This is also a great headlamp for cold weather activities because of its remote battery pack that can be worn under clothing and protects the batteries from the cold helping to conserve energy. The Myobelt XP has 3 lighting levels to help you to conserve batteries- Optimum, Maximum, and Economic. If you are accident prone, the Myobelt makes sure the switches are protected from unwanted operation when light body is in the upright position."

"I was a little surprised at a review of the Myo XP that said it wasn't that bright. I suppose the Myo XPs might not be blinding like a Surfire flashlight but is plenty bright for a LED. So, here I go. . .

I got the Myobelt XP because Alaska winters are hard on exposed battery packs."

Runs in the rain, freezing or not. . . laughs at cold temps, snow, and the dark.

-Easy All Night run times @ any setting. . . and then the XP keeps on running and running and running."
