 Poor Quality Product March 8, 2009
Carrie Priest (Marysville, OH USA)
This brand was one of the brands recommended by my nursing school. I bought it in a bundled package for around $30.00. After starting into my first quarter and comparing with other stethoscopes I was very disappointed. I had purchased a cheap $10.00 stethoscope at Wal-mart just to practice with prior to buying the prestige and I could actually hear better with that. My second week into my second quarter the prestige ended up breaking. Aside, from that I was always having to check if all the pieces were screwed on tight otherwise they would just fall off. After comparing the prestige to other brands, I would definately go with the Littman. It's a little bit more money but definately a better quality and comes with a 2 year warranty.
 VERY HAPPY First Time Buyer!!! December 15, 2008

I actually purchased 2 of these, one frosted glacier and one frosted plum, for my sister and I , we are both going to school and needed them quick, I placed the order, and they came in about a week!!! We love them !! My sister is thrilled with hers and I am too. They were new, clean and with all of their parts and extra ones!!!...I LOVE AMAZON.COM!!!!!!!Can't wait to order again.....

New to the nursing field, the store that I went to purchase my supplies did not have many stethoscope brands to choose from other than Prestige Medical. I bought this and when nursing school started I compared it to other brands.
This stethoscope is so uncomfortable, heavy, and does not fit snugly in my ears. I am looking for another stethoscope that is lighter and fits better. The sounds are good, but wearing it is aggravating! It makes my ears hurt just writing this review.
Definitely not for professional or accurate use. August 30, 2008

I'm not a medical professional, all I needed was something basic for home use (actually to track down a bees nest inside a wall). I gave it 3 stars based on casual home use and low price, but if I needed something accurate for real health monitoring I would not recommend it and would have given it 2 stars.
Pros - cheap, and you can hear vitals from a basic perspective, makes a great toy for a young person who is curious about medical stuff, and is ok for just general around the home use for the price.
Cons - uncomfortable no matter which earpieces you use, and the sound quality is not very good, would not trust this for anything important! Found it difficult to hear vitals well, not clear, doesn't compare to professional / expensive ones at all.
 Do not buy this stethescope October 22, 2007

I am an RN and I was trying to find a cheaper stethescope, which I learned (again) was a bad choice! I ordered this sprague and it came with the box intact - but only one of the earpeices produced sound! Now I have to go through the hassle of sending it back. at least amazon reimbursed me for the shipping!
