5 out of 5 stars You just can't beat a Littman for quality sound & the cardiology is even better!   September 18, 2009

This is my 6th stethoscope, with only one not being a littmann. I don't know how anyone can truly hear breath sounds or heart tones at an adequate level with the cheaper stethoscopes out there. I've tried those of my friends and there is a significant difference in the volume, quality and tone of what you can hear.

I have the neo, pedi, standard adult with bell, "cheapie" version littmann adult w/o bell and now this cardiology littmann scope. I can honestly say I do hear heart tones significantly better with this than with my other adult stethoscopes. It's worth the investment!

I am a nursing student, with a lot of nurses in my family. All of them gave me stethoscopes. I struggled to hear until I bought this one for myself. Now I hear heart murmurs that get by the docs.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic product, but has a specific market   April 20, 2008

The Littmann 2161 is an excellent stethoscope. Heart tones are clear and well-defined, pulmonary sounds come through clearly. I especially like the tunable diaphragm, which allows you to hear throughout the range of frequencies.

Many practitioners and technicians will find this stethoscope to be overkill for their scope of practice. I recommend this scope for practitioners, and for technicians who regularly make independent decisions and interventions for patients suffering from severe trauma or cardiopulmonary compromise. This is not designed to be a BP scope. If BP is the only skill you use a stethoscope for, then don't buy this scope.

This Littmann Master Cardiology is great, I can hear anything with it. I received it brand new, in box. The only problem was the lack of information about the delivery, so I had to find out, by myself, that it was in the post office, waiting for me to pay a tax and pick it up. And I was expecting the product to be delivered at my home. This was the only inconvenience.But I recomend it anyway.

Great scope that I've used for 7 years. I finally broke it and these sellers shipped smoothly and quickly.
