I’m DM’ing a campaign where the party found a Headband of Intellect. The wizard grabbed it and loves it! She’s still increasing her intelligence score with ASI’s (they’re 8th level now) and at some point she’ll give it to someone else. But until she gets her intelligence up to 20 it’s a boost for her that she is using very effectively!
That’s pretty much the same as a fighter, Paladin, or Ranger taking Gauntlets of Ogre Strength.
At 8th level her INT isn't already 18?
19 isn't any better than 18.
Her intelligence is 16. She used her ASI’s for things other than bumping her intelligence up since she found the headband. She’s had it for a few levels.
The PF2e version is essentially. You go to 18 or you get a +2 which ever is higher but you can only have 1 ability boosting item.They usually also come with some extra ability which for gauntlets of ogre strength could be casting enlarge/reduce in the form of enlarge once a day. I think that's a better design for this kind of item but its obviously more powerful than the version currently in dnd.

Can there be more than one pair of the gauntlets in 1 game?
Sure, but that’s entirely up to the DM.
