I thought I had lost my last one which was the same as this. I had to borrow a colleagues cheap stethoscope and it was awful. Then my new littman arrived and I felt whole again. I felt naked without it. I love this stethoscope and now I have two bc I found my first one :) sale price was good too. I have the all black one and the blue one. They are both beautiful.

Very simple and handy. Clearly hear cardiac murmurs and then easy switch to hear crackles and wheezes on chest. Black on black is a very stylish look to add to the quality . Love it

Working as an R.N for over twenty years has given me many opportunities to use many stethoscopes. Some really good, some really horrible (I've never been a fan of disposable stethoscopes but they have a purpose). I started in healthcare using a large double sided 'scope, the classic "flip over for higher tones" type and as my expertise grew I found myself looking for that certain 'scope that would enable me to hear distinct heart sounds, tones and breath sounds thus improving my patient care. Thus I found the Littmann Master Cardiology stethoscope. This 'scope is heavy! Classically designed and a breeze to use. A gentle slight pressure on the diaphragm will allow one to hear even the slightest murmur in an infant's chest. There is no need to flip the bell over to auscultate adult breath sounds or heart tones; no need to worry about the bell mechanism stripping and spinning madly while you are trying to work! I used my first Littmann Master Cardiology stethoscope for almost fifteen years and then lost it in a house fire, along with a pediatric Littmann (a brilliant little 'scope to be sure). If you're unsure about which 'scope to purchase but want a stellar 'scope that will last a long time (sure diaphragms crack) get the Master Cardiology 'scopeTo replace it, I decided to get a Master Cardiology Stethoscope. A kit for various earpieces and diaphragms give the most discerning clinician what they need for patient assessment. A pediatric adapter is included. The high construction tubing conducts sound well. The diaphragm is solid in construction and ergonomic in design; with the rubber base it is more tolerated for patients to avoid the historically 'cold stethoscope'. The headset is comfortable. Its only limitation is that ocular auscultation for bruits is not ideal but nowadays, medical imaging is utilized to a great degree that this has been somewhat of a lost art. Listening for bruits in other locations is quite easy. This stethoscope is ideal for medical students, nurses, primary care physicians, and cardiologists. It has lasted a decade without issues.

I have used several different brands of stethoscopes. Littmann stethoscopes are a good product but the cardiology stethoscope allows you to listen to fine sounds. It is a heavier stethoscope compared to some of the others. I feel it was money well spent especially since I was lucky enough to get it during the Black Friday Deals.

Excellent. Works as needed to hear breath sounds post-intubation. Easy to hear wheezing. I don’t use it much for heart sounds, so not much I can say about that

I am a Critical Care Paramedic. This is the flagship stethoscope. The master chestpiece is incomparable.

Compared to my trusty Littmann master classic II which I have had over the past 5 years, the master cardiology is a significant step up in terms of sound quality. I am no cardiologist, just a medical student, but I do find the sound insulation on the master cardiology to be noticeably better. The master classic had good isolation and will pick up just about everything this one does, but the cardiology scope is just another step up and feels like putting on a quality pair of isolation headphones. I have had both stethoscopes with me for the past 2 weeks on wards for comparison, and the cardiology does a better job of shutting out ambient noise. This includes doing a better job of shutting out finger contact sounds on the actual chest piece. On the classic, it would pick up some friction sounds; on the cardiology, that is largely gone. For some of the larger patients with distant heart/lung sounds to begin with, this is a benefit. Secondly, the tuned diaphragm on the cardiology is better. The diaphragm itself has a larger diameter and the rubber casket around creates a better contact with the skin to create a better seal. There are some pinholes on the diaphragm which I suppose are there for air flow engineering reasons. Whatever the purpose, the tuneability is impressive. Just leaving the chest piece on on a supine patient (without pressing down at all), I hear clear low pitch sounds. A little pressure, and the higher pitches come out. Finally, the build quality between the two are on par. The tubing is a little thicker on the cardiology because it is a double lumen design. The chestpiece is a little larger on the cardiology and is a little more friendly to use as a reflex hammer because of a wider bezel. All in all, very satisfied with the product. The cardiology scope is way overkill if you're just going to be using it for vitals, but for hearing murmurs, crackles on a larger patient, it is definitely worth the price difference.

I love this stethoscope. It functions perfectly. This is my first time having the steel black finish, and within three nursing shifts with minimum wear, the black finish has started to chip off the chest piece. Not impressed with the quality of the finish.

utilisateur d'un stéthoscope littmann cardiology II auparavant j'évolue avec ce modèle. De qualité de fabrication identique, je retrouve le même confort acoustique avec les embouts auriculaires très confortables et la lyre excellente. La qualité sonore globale reste de très haut niveau. En contre partie le pavillon est toutefois un peu large et épais

Ottimi qualità acustica e del materiale: una qualità di riferimento che si conferma. Vale assolutamente il suo prezzo, raccomandabile l'uso di una custodia.
