3M Littmann Cardiology IV Diagnostic Stethoscope, Stainless-finish Chestpiece, Midnight Blue Satin-Finish Tube, 27 inch, 6187C

There is a lot to like about this stethoscope. It is stylish and strong. You can hear the sounds clearly and the price is reasonable. It is heavy, giving the impression that the materials used are genuine and first class.

3M Littmann is the best ever stethoscopes I have ever used since I was a medical student in the early 90s. Not comparable to any other product in durability and sound transmission quality. It was a present to my cardiology consultant sister in her birthday and she could not be any happier.. No promise to buy it again because mine is still brilliant for the last 25 years unless the factory decides to send me a complimentary replacement 😉

The Littman quality speaks for itself.

These are expensive but work fine. As described on the website. Comfortable earpieces

I work in a veterinary hospital and do anaesthetics so need a really good stethoscope wouldn’t buy any other than this brand. The cardiology one is a lot heavier than the standard type of stuff stuff that I’ve been using put the sound quality is so much better definitely would recommend specially as I have tinnitus and struggle to hear through my stethoscope when there’s a lot of sound in the background which in a veterinary hospital is a lot Only negative review is packaging on how it was delivered box wasn’t sealed and it just came in the box the stuff that comes in which thankfully is packaged with form but when I got delivered was thrown into my delivery box at home with the lid off and hanging out

As described bought for a friend

Bought this after my old Classic II “disappeared”. Cannot beat the sound clarity and quality of these stethoscopes. Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but they last and you get what you pay for. If you’re just taking manual BP’s don’t bother, but if you are listening to chests, hearts abdomens etc, they do t disappoint. Just make sure to read the instructions as these have tuneable diaphragms and can take a bit of getting used to.

Purchased this to replace my old trusty Littmann Classic II SE that I have used for the past six years. The classic II SE was great but this is a definite step up. The acoustics are fantastic and allow for easy listening even in those towards the more rotund end of the body habitus spectrum. I find the smaller diaphragm on the opposite side excellent for use in smaller paediatric patients and the sound quality is just as clear as the larger adult side. If you're after a substantial upgrade and want to keep things simple, I would definitely recommend this stethoscope. Some people have mentioned the weight associated with this stethoscope - in the hand it doesn't feel that much more heavier than the lighter classic II and when it is round the neck, the additional weight is barely noticeable.
