4.0 out of 5 stars Affordable alternative to Littmann, January 2, 2008

By

This review is from: ADC ADSCOPE Convertible Cardiology Stethoscope, Black (Health and Beauty)

I used to own a Littmann classic stethoscope and seemed to have lost it at some random hotel I was travelling through. Anyway, losing it prompted me to look for another stethoscope and I figured I would explore another brand this time.

PERFORMANCE: When stethoscope companies label a stethoscope as a "cardiology" stethoscope it typically is because of the thicker tubing, presumably causing more sound insulation so that you can hear "heart sounds" better. This model offered acceptable sound insulation although I cannot say without a doubt that it offers better acoustics than other models.

PRICE: Cardiology stethoscopes from Littmann cost at minimum 120$ so this model can be purchased at almost half the price. A really big plus.

AESTHETICS: The massive tubing gives the stethoscope a high quality feel but the ear buds are made of PVC just like the tubing which makes them uncomfortable for the ears. To my knowledge Littmann just uses "regular" rubber for their ear buds.

OVERALL: Virtually identical performance for nearly half the price, I recommend this model with the exception of the uncomfortable ear buds.

P.S. I am a first year resident in Internal Medicine if you were wondering what I am using this for.

i may not have a lot of experience on the topic but i feel that this stethoscope is very nice. incredible sound exclusion with the bi-lumen and thick tubes and hush-puppy ear-tips the interchangeable heads are very nice too. worked great even in a noisy classroom. nice stereo sound like from a Sprague but w/o the tube noise. definitely recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Heavy But Awesome Sound, September 28, 2010

This review is from: ADC ADSCOPE 601 Convertible Cardiology Scope, Adult, 19", Navy (Health and Beauty)

I am a nursing student and work in a hospital, having this around my neck for long periods of time it can get a little heavy. However, the sound is awesome, crisp, and clear. I also love how the bell can change into a pediatric diaphragm, which is very convenient considering I have to learn on all different sized patients. This way I don't have to buy two separate stethoscopes. Plus the price is great.
