Excellent product. I had a very cheap Sprague stethoscope and was having a difficult time distinguishing sounds. I tried a friends Littmann cardio iii and couldn’t hear very well out of it either but with the classic iii I can now finally hear everything I need to hear and more! I couldn’t be more pleased!

I had a Littmann Classic II for the first 2 and a half years of medschool. I had no problem with it because during the first 2 years you barely if ever need to use it, however, once I started clinical I started noticing how sometime I would have trouble picking up heart and lung sounds on it. I missed more lung sounds than heart sounds to be honest, maybe it's me. The Classic 3 brings newer wider tubing which helps you listen a lot better. I do believe the brand is a little overpriced, if you can pick one up for around $70 like I did, it's a steal. There's also a great variety of other stethoscopes that aren't Littmann brand and are very good and cheaper, its just Littmann is like Apple in the Stethoscope world.

Get this stethoscope and you will not be disappointed. For the price that these go for they are definitely worth the money. I have a Classic II SE and it has been great. I would recommend that stethoscope too if you have a little less money. But this Littmann Classic III is the new gold standard stethoscope for the price. I can personally hear heart sounds much louder and more clear than the II SE. This III comes with thicker tubing. You can see and feel the difference. Littmann always makes a great product. If anybody is wondering, a cheaper stethoscope by Littmann is the Littmann Lightweight Stethoscope. They are around 45 to 55 dollars, but they are just that, "lightweight". Some of my RN coworkers have these Lightweights at work and they get the job done but are not ideal. The positive side to the Lightweights are that the shape of the bell is designed so that it can easily fit under blood pressure cuffs when having to take blood pressures manually. If you are nursing student that has low funds I would recommend the light weight only because of its ease of use with fitting under snug BP cuffs. Otherwise spring for at least the Classic II SE, because it is much better quality. However, the price difference between a II SE and III is maybe 20 to 30 dollars depending on where you buy. Pick what works for you. Get the III if you can afford it and it will do more than you need. No use spending more money that the III unless you are a doctor or use it all the time for more than just basic use. I hope this helps somebody make a choice. Most reviews just say "Get This it is Great!" and that is not usually much help. Good Luck!!Read full review

So glad I made this purchase, it is a heavier stethoscope than I’m used to but it has great sound and works perfect for pets, I work in veterinary field.
