3M LittmannMaster Cardiology Stethoscope, 2160, Stainless Steel Chestpiece, 27" Black Tube

Can't beat a Littmann!

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.

Let me start by saying this is the first review I am writing for any product. I just had to write this one!Firstly, I must commend amazon for their excellent delivery service, my package took just about 11 days to be delivered to Nigeria and all along, I was able to conveniently (and accurately) track it.At almost $200, it's an expensive stethoscope I must admit. At $321 (including shipping), it's the most expensive piece of medical equipment I own.The littmann master cardiology stethoscope is GORGEOUS! It has a polished stainless steel chest piece and an overall attractive design. I initially wanted the burgundy colour but it it wouldn't ship to my location so I had to settle for the black one which is still beautiful.For someone used to low quality stethoscopes, even the feel of the master cardiology is different. It screams quality and class.It's also considerably lightweight (I actually looked at the delivery guy like "are you sure there's master cardiology in here?")When I put it in my ears for the first time, and listened to my own heartbeat (over my clothes!), I couldn't believe my ears... the acoustic performance is just excellent.It has an adapter for pediatric auscultation and a single sided chest piece which allows one to listen to both high and low pitched sounds simply by applying pressure on the chest piece. As a young anaesthetist who'd be dealing with both adult and pediatric patients, I couldn't ask for more.It has got soft sealing ear tips that fit perfectly and cancel out ambient noise.In short, when you're looking for a high performance stethoscope which is worth every penny, look no further than littmann master cardiology.Excellent craftsmanship, littmann!

YVerh good

The stethoscope is nice and easy to use. The tubing was sticky and stiff. Indicating that this is really old and not a new stethoscope. The best bet is to buy spare parent for the diaphragm and ears. If the tubing is in bad shape the sound is of a lower quality and not worth buying used stethoscope. This product new is amazing but what I got not. It was almost like someone swapped out parts from another stethoscope and returned the rest so they had a brand new one and the remaining parts were resold as new. That would explain why the box was closed with shipping tape and a shipping label only.

Great quality and the price is not bad as well. I highly suggest this brand and product! Definitely two thumbs up from me 🥰 happy happy customer 🫶

So easy to use and can clearly hear everything…

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 'scope!
