Stethoscope - Classic Dual Head Cardiology for Medical, Clinical and Home Use by Paramed - Suitable for Men Women Nurse Pediatric Infant - 22 inch

Very pleased with this stethoscope! Such great quality for an even better price tag. Being a nurse for 14 years I've used stethoscopes from the basic facility provided isolation stethoscopes all the way to a Littmann stethoscope and this is a great alternative! I could easily auscultate heart, lung and bowel sounds with this scope, no problems with obtaining a blood pressure either. The ear pieces are very comfortable and do not hinder the sound at all. I appreciate the clamp-on ID tag, extra earpieces and spare bell diaphragm too! Another great perk is that I have not had to warm this bell up before placing it on my clients, so far it hasn't seemed to get cold to the touch. Really enjoying this stethoscope for such a great price, will share this with my peers for sure!

I am impressed by how well this stethoscope works, and can find no defects in the materials or workmanship. I must say, I was more than a little nervous about this purchase, since I have no medical training and have never used a stethoscope before. Some reviews on other models were very bad, but this one had mostly favorable reviews, so I took the chance. It worked out very well – no problems using either the diaphragm end or the bell end. I think it might be a good idea to have some sort of indicator on the diaphragm to show which side is connected to the earpieces – but that's not a big problem since you will know right away if you're not using the side that is connected to the earpieces. But, the product worked exactly as expected, and the quality is good and it appears to be quite durable, so I am very pleased.

Retired nurse who likes to have equipment t on hand! This is an inexpensive yet fairly good quality stethoscope! Works good for taking BP, checking breath sounds. Is adequate for listening to the heart. Good one to have as a back up to a more sensitive model, in a first aid kit!

For a cheap stethoscope, it is worth the money. It obviously could have better sound quality, but I would buy it again!

I couldn’t believe how well this stethoscope worked seeing as how inexpensive it was. I’m not medical professional but had no issues listening to my family’s hearts and lungs when we got it in the mail. Nice little addition to our medical cabinet!

For the price, it's a good, basic Stethoscope. I am used to my Littman Master Cardiology, and have used it for more than 10 years. This stethoscope here has decent acoustics, but the ear tips are too ridgid for me. I like 8t that it has two bells, and it's easy to switch from the adult to the pediatric bell. I think it's a good stethoscope for the occasional user, I'll keep it in my car. I wouldn't want to switch to it, I haven't found anything with adequate comfort or acoustics, besides my $200 littman. But, we are comparing apples to rainbows. For $13, it's a good, solid buy. Don't expect $200 quality or acoustics, and you're fine.

I really can't hear heartbeat as well as I thought I would. But my order did arrive on time and was packaged well. For the price, this is a good purchase. I originally gave this 3 stars but have changed to 5. I was contacted by customer service and was informed that I might have received a defective item. They immediately sent out another stethoscope and this one works perfect. I can hear very well, the item was shipped and received in excellent condition and received quickly. More companies should have customer service departments that truly care about the product and customer satisfaction.

I'm a respiratory therapy student and bought this stethoscope last year for clinicals. One year later, and I'm still using it! It has held up very well. The sound and quality are both fairly good (though it is harder to hear fine crackles with this stethoscope). The only comment I have about it is that the white part doesn't hold up too well to alcohol swabs/other types of cleaning materials. I've had to replace it once. It's not real fancy, but still a good first stethoscope to use at clinicals!
