This cardiology stethoscope is truly a game-changer—the quality is exceptional, and it’s made a huge difference in my clinical experience as a nursing student. The sound clarity is crystal clear, especially for heart and lung sounds, which is so important when you’re learning to assess patients accurately.The build is solid and durable, yet comfortable to wear around the neck during long shifts. The earpieces fit snugly and block out background noise, which helps me focus when I’m in busy clinical settings. You can tell this stethoscope is built to last, and it definitely performs like the professional-grade tool it is.Whether you’re starting nursing school, in medical school, or already in the field, this is an essential investment. Don’t waste money on cheap ones—this stethoscope delivers the quality and reliability you need from day one to graduation and beyond!

Brand new RN here! I was beginning to wonder if I needed hearing aids with my cheap nursing school stethoscope. I couldn’t believe how much more I could hear with this stethoscope and was able to identify adventitious breath sounds pretty quickly and hear an insanely quiet murmur! If anything ever happens to this stethoscope, I would purchase it again. Easy to switch from adult to child as well and I’ve used it in multiple departments, not just cardiac. It’s the perfect length and durability that a busy nurse needs. Highly recommend!!

I used this in nursing school and still do for work. It has been the best purchase I have made. It is still doing its job. Great quality. The sound is very clear and loud. I got it on sale at the time and was worth every penny!

I love the color, the material is sturdy and reliable, it’s lightweight and great quality

I had the cardiology 3 and left it behind after a locum assignment so I bought this one. It's a good reliable stethoscope, very similar to my last one. I work in inpatient rehab, so its usually pretty loud in the rooms (not icu level, but plenty of alarms, beeps and human noise) and I can hear just fine with this. I have the black tubing with a magenta colored metal and it looks nice, too

New CCMA here, got this as a gift. It is beautiful and the sound quality is amazing. It’s comfortable and the perfect length. Great value for the money. The clarity is amazing! Love the color! Will last me a longtime. Also love the flexibility of it as well! Amazing!!! Best gift ever. If you’re a student or a new CCMA/RN or whatever- YOU NEED THIS!

I like this stethoscope... the quality is great. And the price was great.

This is my second litman, and I love it. You can hear heart and lung sounds clearly, and the rainbow bell is pretty as well.
