I have had this scope for years and would not trade it unless I could afford the computerized one. I have a medic friend that has one, It is wonderful. You can increase the volume to hear over noise. It also picks up the heart rate. Also you can store the sounds so that if your assessment is ever challenged you can cover yourself.

I'm slightly hearing impaired, due to a childhood illness. This steth let me hear things I was missing!!
As a cardiac nurse, this is an invaluable tool!!!!

because its one of the best they have.

I love the pediatric attachment. It allows me to hear much clearer!

I have a Cardiology III stethoscope. I love it. I am hard of hearing and I can not use just any stethoscope. I can hear just about anything with this stethoscope. Its expensive but IMO well worth the money.

wow-the best and on sale too! What more could you ask for?

ausculation on the littman's is impecible. i got mine for my birthday and they have a variety and colors, they are a little expensive but they are so worth every penny. this stethoscope is the envy of all my classmates. we all love it and i have to alcohol swab it constantly because everyone wants to use my stethoscope!

I have a tone deficit. If I had not gotten this stethoscope I would never had passed my apical pulse check off in nursing school.

I just bought 4 of these stethocopes for one of our clinical sites. Having never been able to afford to spend 165 dollars on a stethoscope for myself I was curious to how "Great" was it really? I opened the package and took one out and tried it. It really is very good. I could hear very well with 3 people talking in the room! I definitely plan to obtain one for myself at a later point in time.

I just bought mine can't wait to use it. I'm in my Psych rotation so there hasn't been any physical assessments to do at this time.

From ER, to Pediatric ICU, to Periop- this model has met all my needs...

this is hands down the BEST stethoscope on the market! i cant and wont use anything else but my littman.

I am on my 2nd Littman (somebody appropriated the first one). I think this is the best stethoscope that I have ever used!!! I have used it in a variety of situations and it never fails. The price seems high, but it is worth every penny. I also have a neonatal Littman that is wonderful as well.

I just got mine in the mail, you can hear very clearly
