Being a nurse, I need my stethoscope on a daily basis to check lung sounds, bowel sounds, and blood pressure. This stethoscope is not Only a very cool color, but it really does work very well. You can hear All sounds very clearly, and it has held up to the test of time. I am not gentle with my things and have had this stethoscope for at least a couple of years and it’s still like brand new. Affordable and very worth the money.

Short version: super quality very nice looking stethoscope that i highly recommend!

I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years, and I use my stethoscope many times each day. I have tried different stethoscopes, but I now use only one type. I love Littman stethoscopes, and the last one I purchased a number of years ago has served me well every day. But as the tubing became hard and stiff, I decided to retire it and replace it. I was pleasantly surprised to see the selection available on Amazon. I found a color of tubing that I loved as well as a few other nice options that made this the perfect choice. And the price was very reasonable.

It arrived very quickly and I was very pleased to see that it looked nicer than it looked online. The tubing was very flexible and much softer than my old stiff one. Even more important, I was able to hear even more heart sounds than I had before. I work with dogs and cats between 1# and 180#, and this worked wonderfully on all of them. As I get closer to retirement, I am very pleased to think that my last stethoscope is one that looks and works fantastic!

I recently purchased the 3M Littmann Classic III Monitoring Stethoscope, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. I love the color it's so classy and just perfect. The acoustics of this stethoscope are outstanding, allowing me to hear even the faintest of sounds with clarity. The dual-sided chestpiece is convenient, and the tunable diaphragms make it easy to switch between low and high frequencies. The tubing is durable and comfortable, and the overall design is sleek and professional. I highly recommend this stethoscope to any healthcare professional looking for a reliable and high-quality tool for patient assessment.
